My favourite record from the Jamaican archives these days is BABYLON FALL by Junior Ross & The Spears. The album from 2018 brings together recordings that Tapper Zukie produced from the mid to late 70s. The line-up of the band is awesome! It includes Sly & Robbie, Augustus Pablo and Vin Gordon on instruments and Prince Alla on backing vocals.

In short, get your arse to your trusted record dealer and pick up the disc!

@landley Eeyupp.

#Jamaica's #1 electricity consumer is AFAIK a bauxite refinery.

  • And whilst Aluminium is quite corrosion-resistant (seen some planes that got downed in the Philiphines in WW2 that had barely silt on them despite being submerged in seawater since then), that only means the corrosion isn't "structural" like with iron & steel.

And whilst energy intensive, Aluminium is technically easy to recycle...

A tale of two hummingbird bills


There are two species of streamertail #hummingbirds on the island of #Jamaica, #WestIndies—one with red-billed males (Trochilus polytmus) and the other with black-billed males (T. scitulus). This is a puzzling situation, as many evolutionary biologists have argued that avian #speciation is unlikely to occur on small oceanic #islands.

EurekAlert!A tale of two hummingbird bills
There are two species of streamertail hummingbirds on the island of Jamaica, West Indies—one with red-billed males (Trochilus polytmus) and the other with black-billed males (T. scitulus). This is a puzzling situation, as many evolutionary biologists have argued that avian speciation is unlikely to occur on small oceanic islands. Caroline Duffie Judy and colleagues investigated the hybrid zone that separates the two species, which is as narrow as 3.2 km.

A WONDERFUL slice of #reggae / #dancehall awesomeness for last spin of the night.

Needed some lightness and levity to end my weekend. Need to feel good before I crashed out, and this has never failed in that endeavour. I absolutely love and adore this song.

The b-side, Royal Dub Instrumental is also great.

REAL reggae is and will always be fucking awesome.
