I keep doing these picks. It started some time ago with a cassette tape, a mixtape for a buddy who said he hated reggae, but I knew he really didn't because he like all these bands that had faux reggae beats. So I made him a pick of what I called White Washed Reggae. Now it's Fakin Jamaican. It's expanded from there, but just a bit. So here's my latest installment. And just to be clear these picks bear little to no resemblance to the original tape. But the idea is similar. I still have some tracks that I have been holding on to for future installments.

Thanks. Title reminds me of Funkin For Jamaica, that is a neighbourhood in New York, not the reggae-island. Maybe an idea for a compilation: destinations / places that are NOT where you think they are.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea. There's a Paris, Texas
DeletePaul En André – Live In America
DeleteAmerica is little village in the Netherlands.
Also:
Moscow Idaho (Cassandra Complex)
Jordan, Minnesota (Big Black)
And if you want some more Fakin Jamaicans
DeleteAlpha Blondy (from Ivory Coast)
Pork Dukes - Tight Pussy
Chalawa - Hop Skip and Jump
Ruts DC – Present Rhythm Collision Vol. 1
And take some special time off for this Hero
Lucky Dube from South Africa
