Jah Rastafari, etc aren't tired stock phrases if you're a Rastafarian (which most of UBfarty are emphatically not). That's a bit like saying God/Jesus/Christ, etc are tired stock phrases in gospel music.

Can't help feeling it's a handy method of padding the songs out/ a lazy device used when constantly addled on another dose of special rolling blend.

"Who Feels It (Knows It)" - if you don't get it, why keep trying? i am a reggae purist - fact.
ewe bee farty are shit - fact.
they started with admirable intentions, but too soon succumbed to the sin of fame and the lure of babylon's dollars. plenty white people can play roots if the above quote is applicable to them (the clash, the ruts (dc), the breadwinners, etc). without the need to proclaim rastafari - very few white people have the need for repatriation to africa!

Down the road someaways with intentions best not discussed. :0
Okie dokie then, a nice round 13 voters this time for the 13 noms, can't ask for more than that.Two songs left all the rest in their wake, but nosing it by 1 point, the gold this week goes to Tim's nom, Addicted To Love. Scooping up a shiny silver, Val with Johnny And Mary. And cosying up on the remaining step, half a bronze each for our distant third placers, Brass Neck and Fishy Jim with Sneakin’ Sally Through The Alley and Some Guys Have All The Luck.
The wooden spoons go back to collecting dust.
Since the demise of Vinegar Joe (not sure if we are allowed to nominate theirs or not, ask Jemma) in 1974, Palmer appears to have released a total of 15 or so albums under his own name, with a fair sprinkling of hits along the way, and also had a short stint as a member of The Power Station (ditto).
Usual thing then, noms to be in by 10 pm Sunday evening, leave a link to your chosen track, and come back to vote next week.
Have a fun weekend :-)
