Jamaican Me Crazy

Truth be told, I feel bad for the last post. Now that you have songs that are bad but annoyingly catchy stuck in your head, I've decided to provide some medication. Enjoy my current top 5 reggae jams from a white boy who wishes he could pull off some dreadlocks.

A little bit of roots reggae, little bit of what I like to call progressive reggae, and a whole lot of awesome.  These songs will help you enjoy your summer.



So sit back and just
Chill out mon' cause there's 'no problem' with the following tracks:

5) The Expendables, Sacrifice


4) Put this on a burned CD for your girl and it's a done deal.
Katchafire, Hey Girl



3. Passafire, Kilo


I had to do a live version for Passafire seeing as they are hands down the best concert I've been to (twice now).

2. These guys are no slouch in concert either:
Soja, I Don't Wanna Wait



1. And my current favorite......
Tribal Seeds, All I Know


Tribal Seeds are touring now and I'm seeing them in July. To say that I am excited is an enormous understatement.

Oh and how could a list of reggae songs be complete without a classic. From a TV show produced by a fellow Langley. From the opening credits...

Honorable Mention from Cops:
Inner Circle's Bad Boy's:



That song in particular really speaks to me and my way of life.
Rastaman Drew signing off hoping your day has been brightened.

The Worst Songs To Have Stuck In Your Head

After a long day on the beach with no sounds but the waves of the Gulf and my own thoughts, I have compiled the worst songs to have stuck in your head. A combination of annoyingly catchy hooks, poor vocals, and repitition allow these songs to stick around for what feels like forever.
Primarily Inspired by:



My Top 5:

5)  Avril's Girlfriend:

Such a classic video though.

4) At this point it's already getting tough to separate the next four but im going to go with:


So deep and inspiring. Especially after hearing it repeatedly on the radio and in my head.

3) Number three is often considered the best band of all time. But who am I to judge?


OK so maybe not the BEST band but surely a close 2nd... Right?

2) Getting good now. How I love it when they play this at every Braves Game:


The band name is Rednex... oh did I mention they're Swedish?

1) I apologize in advance for getting this song stuck in your head. Enjoy:


The song is right, after all.

And Show It Begins

Welcome one and all to the most important blog on the internet. Thus begins a journey unlike any other. So unique even hipsters tend to like it (but you can never really tell with them). Please pay close attention to the ginormous boombox background cause its pretty cool. I have a lot of unique thoughts and you will have the pleasure of receiving them if you so choose.

I will also conclude all of my blog posts with a totally awesome video so even if you don't enjoy my thoughts just scroll down to the bottom. Here we go:

I'm 20 years old and I still don't know the result of the classic nursery rhyme, "eeny meeny miney moe." This is not because of my lack of intelligence, (although I did just google search intelligence to avoid an embarrassing misspelling) but rather because it spices up my life. When a choice between two or more things comes down to if a tiger hollers after you catch it by the toe, you really feel a sense of accomplishment in the result. Or if I secretly don't like the outcome, the rhyme is ajusted to end in, "My mother told me to pick the very best one and you are not IT." While that seems like a lot of effort to make a decision I enjoy it just as much as I did when I learned the rhyme around the age of 6.

So yes, I could just grow up and make a decision without running through a 4 lined rhyme but what's the fun in that?

Oh and please don't ruin the ending for me. It has been a good streak of ignorance.


Until next time,
Enjoy a legend:
