You straddle the gulf between politics and not-politics well. We all need to escape into our Wicked Mike side now and then...

Maybe they're just masks, and the real me is a weapons manufacturer.

That does sound like a weapons manufacturer move...

I'm going to save this for the weekend, when I'll have time to listen to everything without being short for time! Cheers!

Another great collection. I got a bit of a start on it.

Our old friends Lark presented an interesting video with a surprise ending.

Hog Hoggidy Hog gave me flashbacks to a Jamaican Sunsplash Tour I worked on one summer during my previous life.

Enjoyed the “surf guitar” sound on the Diesel Whore song. “Does anyone here sell cocaine”.

Of course we all know that getting Bubblegum on our boots sucks.

Looking forward to going through the others. You never disappoint.

It’s the artists that don’t disappoint, and always such sadness that our music industry was never an industry, and never had a chance. But it doth pleaseth me that you are listening to the tracks. Yes, Lark are my ears friends. If I had one sub-genre to choose for life, alternative would be it, so Diesel Whores is the rebellion sound here. Yep, the Hogs are summer fun. Was it a Jamaican theme tour in the USA, or in Jamaica?

It was a group of Jamaican artists touring the USA but it ended with a huge stadium show in Kingston that I flew over for. Fantastic show. It was an interesting cultural experience for me. They take smoking weed to an incredible level. The hardest part really was making sure the guys didn't end up with underage girls. Local cops in some of the stops were watching for that. A Canadian t-shirt seller and me were the two "white guys" on the tour. Lots of good memories from that one.

It's interesting how they've been broadcast as the Rasta nation yet only 1% are Rastafarians. Lot of gang violence outside that. I exposed a person in my town for using public funds for her holiday there.
