The legend lives on: Jah Wobble in "Betrayal"



Jah Wobble is a founding member of the infamous Public Image Limited, characterized by playing dub-heavy bass on their first two albums. After creative differences he went on to release this, his debut album "Betrayal". He received heavy backlash from Lydon and company for using material from Second Edition/Metalbox. But even so this is a great record with a slightly different approach from PIL, fun and a tad sillier at times. Check out the rendition of Fats Domino's "Blueberry Hill".

Robyn Hitchcock - Black Snake Diamond Röle



Robyn Hitchcock is fuggin great. Black Snake Diamond Röle is his debut disc after departing the seminal band The Soft Boys. (Ill post some of their stuff later on) This album is highly enjoyable on many levels, musically, lirically and personally. It feels like a cool friend of yours laying down some tracks, really honest bared down lyrics, funny at times. Reminiscent of an early John Cale with a Zappa wit. If your a singer/songwriter-o-phile like myself this is a must have.
