Can’t stand Matisyahu
I really did try to like it. But now I hate it. Its white-boy college rock 311 crap. Not reggae by any stretch. So there.
In other news, I’m not looking forward to doing a hard hill workout tonight, but I know I need it. I think I’m taking the next 2 days real easy like. This weekend is going to be another rough one.

Juicy Juicy and Weedy Weedy
Since I went straight and started using iTunes, I’ve been continually amazed at all the out-of-print authentic dancehall and roots reggae is in their vaults. The other day, I dropped some dough on a bunch of old Eek-a-Mouse tunes, among other things. A real blast from the past. Casio keyboard horns and craptastic drum-machine reggae. Brings back high school memories of hanging out reading Thrasher, getting sunburns skating in the bank parking lot with ex-buddy Will, listening to bad reggae and hardcore on his shitty 1-speaker boombox.
Actually, I guess I don’t really miss it that much.

Hick Blokes?
Why is it that the biggest “hick” bands are all British? Seriously, think about it, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Rush, Queen, Motorhead, the Beatles…I could go on.
I’m just thinking back to high school and all the Foster hicks wearing t-shirts with any of the aforementioned monikers emblazened, along with a pair of moccasins or “shit-kickers” (we called Foster-sneakers because they would wear boots to gym class) and all topped off with one of those awful black “flat” Spanish cowboy hats. I don’t know what you call them, but I think John Paul Jones is wearing them in one of the pictures on the Physical Graffiti album. The best was those frilly brown leather indian jackets. That was the cherry on the sundae for me. I think Bob Plant wore one too, so there ya go.
Anywho, how is that a bunch of kick ass British bands ended up dressing like a bunch of American hippy-hicks? Thats what I want to know.
That hat… that fucking shit-kicker hat….
