How's Babylon? Better than Babylon Zoo?

Skindred's Babylon album is a very good album, not revolutionary but very good. It's a mix of Raggamuffin and metal with a lil' bit of pop and punk. If you already no the singer's former band: Dub war, Skindred is a better abd tougher version of it. According to a friend who 's a rock journalist, their second album, that will be released on October 29th, is even better than Babylon, so if you want to try it, you'd better buy their second disc: Roots rock riot.

if ou want to listen to a few songs, here are two links:
NOBODY and SET IT OFF I hope you'll like them.

Not bad, not bad... Not too big a fan of that kind of music video though...

Funny thing is those links take me to the French YouTube. :bald:

yeah, I didn't pay attention to that, but it's true.

Is that only a language shell with all the content or is everything French.

Prolly... but I enjoy reading other languages' computer words. Like the German "speichern".

It is only a shell, so I don't have to be afraid that I miss something.

Altough this is very funny mixed up language

it used to be here that if you wanted to know the air temperature you would use the telephone and phone up the bank . . .
they had a special number that would give an automated voice that would say the time and the temperature. . .

I stopped one day when I heard myself say out loud
"I'm gonna call up the bank and see what temp it is"

call up?

call up a bank?

and see? no, actually, hear

see the temperature? no, hear what the voice says the indicator shows

really all wrong and yet, that's what we would say.

I went on a spontaneous spending spree yesterday:

Hmmm... Max Romeo... Is that the album with Wet Dream? :regan: We heard that song too much when it was on the only tape in the car.

not wet dream,
but norman the gambler . . . used to ride 'round in a rambler . . .

what have you got on the brain?:P

A banana.

That's a very annoying song... Lemme link you up... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQRPX9n9fIo

just learned that wet dream was Romeo's first single in europe, c 1970, when he was trying to get heard, several years before War Ina Babylon
