Play for Today
Listening habits: today we have gone from Dawn Upshaw singing Bach and Purcell to Franz Ferdinand, a bit of a disjunction even by my standards. Now our regular trawl across the Net has revealed that Sir Coxsone Dodd, founder of Studio One, has rolled his last spliff, so we are scratching around the office for something sympathetic to play. All we can turn up (not really "all", it's pretty damn good in its own right but not exactly "Studio One") is Upsetter in Dub, a collection of Lee Perry dubs from the 70s. Well, we rarely need much excuse around these parts to get the dubs happening.
