Juicy

So as you can probably tell, I'm finding it difficult to be inspired by much these days. I'm going through a phase of being unphased. There is a lot to think about- Gaddafi's kicked the bucket, Obama's declared an end to the war in Iraq, Greece has just had yet another financial bail out, and there are global protests to tackle 'corporate greed'. But instead, I have chosen to throw myself into the big bad worlds of reggae and disco.

There are a couple of things I would like to bring to everyone's attention on this fine, chilly october night. The first is a tasty reggae treat I found on Mixcloud with some cracking song choices and music to aid the soul.

Iron & D-Purpose - Funkin For Jamaica by Laid Back on Mixcloud

The second is a mix I was shown by a good friend of mine, and it never fails to put a smile on my face. Countless classics, from Isley Brothers to Fleetwood Mac to Craig David to Grandmaster Flash... The list is endless. You'd be a fool not to have a listen.

Enjoy.

A tragic situation exists precisely when virtue does not triumph but when it is still felt that man is nobler than the forces which destroy him.
