Bienvenido a Jamrock.

Acampa donde lo hacen los matones.

Dos libras por hierba de la mala

en la guantera de la furgoneta.

En tu bolso, en tu mochila, en tu maleta.

El olor os pondrá a tono a ti y a tu novia.

Algunos chicos no lo notan.

Tan sólo pasan por aquí como turistas,

por la playa, con sus bebidas.

Cuentos para ir a la cama,

y poses a lo Chuck Norris,

pero no conocen el verdadero dolor,

con sus sandalias.

Los matones harán

lo que tienen que hacer,

y no se lo pensarán dos veces

a la hora de dispararte.

No les dejes que te apunten,

a no ser que tú también lleves armas.

Tendrás serios problemas contigo.

Cuando el hombre de Trenchtown deja de reír

y para a todo el mundo,

se dan la vuelta y echan a correr.

Pero luego le aplauden.

Con la sirena y a toda leche,

la policía aparece en su Jeep,

sin poder detenerlo.

Algunos dicen que es un playboy,

un conejito de playboy.

Un tipo divertido con la mala costumbre

de colarse a los demás.

Que nadie se haga el duro,

si realmente no lo es.

¡Los rastafaris se las arreglan solos!

 

Bienvenido a Jamrock, bienvenido a Jamrock.

Afuera, en las calles, a eso lo llaman asesinato.

 

Bienvenido a Jamdown.

La gente pobre muere indiscriminadamente.

Violencia política. Auténticos fantasmas.

La juventud cegada por alcanzar la gloria.

El Rey de Reyes llama.

Un padre para los jóvenes.

Levanta tu mano si estás conmigo.

Verás el sufrimiento volviéndome loco.

No quepo en mi propio traje,

para ganar las elecciones hago trampas.

Y después de ello, no cumplo las promesas.

Venga, afrontémoslo.

La educación para los guetos es básica.

La mayoría de los jóvenes no la tienen,

y la sustituyen por pistolas.

Después no tienen oportunidad ninguna.

Y es con lo que la pequeña juventud engorda.

Con revistas de dudosa credibilidad en sus bolsos.

Con sus fiestas nocturnas

con sus chaquetas negras.

Los que no tienen una Glock, tienen un cohete.

Te meterán corriente como a un circuito eléctrico.

Luego una carrera escapando,

con la policía cortándoles el paso.

Y desde ese momento hasta que amanece, sin parar.

 

Bienvenido a Jamrock (Al norte y al sur)

Bienvenido a Jamrock (Al este, al oeste, oh)

Bienvenido a Jamrock (Cornwall, Middlesex y Surrey)

Bienvenido a Jamrock

Afuera, en las calles, a eso lo llaman asesinato.

Money Island off the coast of Port Antonio, Jamaica

"Oh, mamá, mamá, mira!

Tus niños están jugando otra vez en aquella calle.

¿No sabes lo que ha pasado allí?

A un joven de 14 años le pegaron un tiro.

Las pistolas de la cocaína de Jamdown Town.

Los payasos asesinos, los hombres del dinero sangriento.

Están disparando otra vez esas balas de Washington.

Cada celda de Chile puede hablar

de los gritos de los hombres torturados.

Recordad a Allende y los días de antes.

Antes de que el ejército llegara

Por favor, acuérdate de Víctor Jara

en el estadio de Santiago

Es verdad, otra vez aquellas balas de Washington.

 

Y en la Bahía de Cochinos en el 61.

La Habana para los playboys al sol cubano.

Para Castro es un color más rojo que rojo.

Esas balas de Washington quieren a Castro muerto.

Pues Castro es el color que les costará una rociada de plomo

 

Sandinista.

 

Cuando por primera vez

hicieron una revolución en Nicaragua

no hubo interferencias desde América.

Derechos humanos desde América.

Bien, la gente luchó contra el presidente y él huyó.

Sin balas de Washington, qué otra cosa podía hacer?

 

Sandinista.

 

Encuentra un rebelde afgano al que no le hayan dado las balas de Moscú.

Pregúntale lo que piensa sobre votar a los comunistas.

Pregúntale al Da-Lai La-Ma en las colinas del Tíbet

cuántos monjes se llevaron los chinos.

Detén a cualquier mercenario en un pantano

y comprueba cuántas balas británicas hay en su cartuchera..."

Welcome to Jamrock, camp whe' da' thugs dem camp at

Two pounds a weed inna van back

It inna your hand bag, your knapsack, it inna your back pack

The smell a give yah girlfriend contact

Some boy noy notice, dem only come around like tourist

On the beach with a few club sodas

Bedtime stories, and pose like dem name Chuck Norris

And don't know the real hardcore

Cause Sandals a no 'back-to', da thugs Dem wi do whe' dem got to

And won't think twice to shot you

Don't make dem spot you, unless you carry guns a lot too

A bare tuff thing come at you

 

When Trenchtown man stop laugh and block-off traffic

Then them wheel and pop off and dem start clap it

With the pin file dung and it a beat drop it

Police come inna jeep and them cant stop it

Some say them a playboy, a playboy rabbit

Funnyman a get dropped like a bad habit

So nobody pose tuff if you don't have it

Rastafari stands alone!

 

[Chorus]

Welcome to Jamrock, Welcome to Jamrock

Out in the streets, they call it murder!

 

[Verse 2]

Welcome to Jamdown, poor people a dead at random

Political violence, can't done! Pure ghost and phantom, the youth

Dem get blind by stardom

Now the Kings Of Kings a call

Old man to Pickney, so wave unno hand if you with me

To see the sufferation sicken me

Them suit no fit me, to win election dem trick we

Den dem don't do nuttin at all

 

Come on let's face it, a ghetto education's basic

A most a the youths them waste it

And when dem waste it, dat's when dem take da guns and replace it

Then them don't stand a chance at all

And dat's why a nuff little youth have up some fat matic

With the extra magazine inna them back pocket

And a bleach a night time inna some black jacket

All who not lock glocks, dem a lock rocket

Then will full you up a current like a short circuit

Dem a run a roadblock which part thr cops block it

And from now till a mornin not stop clock it

If the run outta rounds a brought back ratchet

 

[Chorus]

Welcome to Jamrock (Southside, Northside)

Welcome to Jamrock (East Coast, West Coast, huh, yo)

Welcome to Jamrock (Conwell, Middlesex and Surrey) Hey!

Welcome to Jamrock

Out in the streets, they call it murder!!!

Island Gully Falls/Blue Hole in Ocho Rios, Jamaica

Caribbean Fun Stop in Las Vegas. The only Caribbean club here. Spud's godfather is one of the 5 partners in this and every Christmas they throw a big party for all their regulars. It's located in the Commercial Center along with a club that has drag shows every weekend, and our only public swinger's club "the Green Door" It's also just off the "apex" of strip clubs so a lot of the dancers come to the club to relax in an atmosphere that reminds them that cold hard Vegas isn't outside the door. (I found this out after talking to a few of them last night.)

 

NOTE to MSHers: yes I conned him into naming his Party night "Risky business" and he got such a good response.. he's keeping it (and the scrim) as an annual event. In Vegas it really is WHO you know and not What you know that counts. :-)

Frenchman's Cove in Port Antonio, Jamaica

This is a menu board that I've created for jamaican restaurants

to help promote and show their dishes to their customers.

The 45rpm 12” Jamaica Sound recording of Dillinger was, and is, a case of picking a book by its cover.

I have two more of this label’s releases (back in the USA) that definitely attracted me at the point of purchase. But this is all I have found so far about this label: tapirs.home.xs4all.nl/jslp.htm

The records were inexplicably manufactured in Ireland.

 

The jacket design was clearly trying to tap into the British Punk/Reggae crossover market (obviously).

You can note in the link I included above that Jamaica Sound released a lot of Dillinger. The side shown here, “Musical Music”, is credible, worthy of a few spins, but the flip-side “Rockers” is a rehash of Dillinger’s out-of-left-field hit “Cocaine in my Brain”.

 

In another take on Punk/Reggae comes the well-known Lee Perry penned Bob Marley and the Wailers 12” 45rpm release, “Punky Reggae Party”, with its own outstanding cover art. The story goes that Perry was enthusiastic about the punk rocker’s affection for Reggae, demonstrated in particular when The Clash covered “Police and Thieves”. Perry wrote “Punky Reggae Party” for Marley who was originally skeptical of punk rock’s intentions (he didn’t appreciate people who called themselves “rotten” and such) but he came around by realizing the British demographic that was supporting his music (and its radical bent) . When I bought this 12" 45rpm, "Punky Reggae Party" hadn’t been released by Island (who of course dipped into the back catalog after Marley had died) and in fact was said to have been suppressed for wider release (at that time) as the recording industry was notoriously down on Punk.

 

Of course they were down on Punk as Punk was way down on them (gobs and such) – Punk was meant to fail as otherwise it would just become another commoditized trend (oops – Green Day . . . ). The above also demonstrates that musical geniuses like Lee Perry keep their ears open and are often more open-minded about divergent sounds than the average listener.

Oh! Mama, Mama look there!

Your children are playing in that street again

Don't you know what happened down there?

A youth of fourteen got shot down there

The Kokane guns of Jamdown Town

The killing clowns, the blood money men

Are shooting those Washington bullets again

 

As every cell in Chile will tell

The cries of the tortured men

Remember Allende, and the days before,

Before the army came

Please remember Victor Jara,

In the Santiago Stadium,

Es verdad - those Washington Bullets again

 

And in the Bay of Pigs in 1961,

Havana fought the playboy in the Cuban sun,

For Castro is a colour,

Is a redder than red,

Those Washington bullets want Castro dead

For Castro is the colour...

...That will earn you a spray of lead

 

Sandinista!

 

For the very first time ever,

When they had a revolution in Nicaragua,

There was no interference from America

Human rights in America

 

Well the people fought the leader,

And up he flew...

With no Washington bullets what else could he do?

Sandinista!

 

'N' if you can find a Afghan rebel

That the Moscow bullets missed

Ask him what he thinks of voting Communist...

...Ask the Dalai Lama in the hills of Tibet,

How many monks did the Chinese get?

In a war-torn swamp stop any mercenary,

'N' check the British bullets in his armoury

Que?

Sandinista!

 

Washington Bullets

Some deejay albums get forgotten for really weird reasons.

 

For an example this album. Check the equation;

Released on Greensleeves in 1980 + fantastic deejaying by Ranking Joe + Junjo's classic rhythms + Scientist = Rarely mentioned deejay album.

 

It doesn't sum up right! This one is fantastic!

Wish you were here! Ok I know I said that I don't like having my photo taken but hubby insisted... definitely in love with Jamaica but you need plenty of the folding stuff ... not much by way of bargains for cheapz_Kate tho! Jamdown ain't cheap nowhere, no how! Still managing to pile on the weight .... guzzling too much cane juice, soursap, sorrell....later!

Also, ein echtes Portrait ist das ja nicht, aber wie ich finde, ein sehr gelungener Konzert Schnappschuss. Und ich lass mir ja sowieso keine Bildgelegenheit von einer Berühmtheit entgehen. Wie man sieht, war ich gestern auf dieser Jamdown party und die war ziemlich, ziemlich fett! Es fing, wie geplant um 21 Uhr an, hörte aber nicht, wie geplant um 23 Uhr auf, sondern um 2. Das lag glaube ich daran, dass die ganzen Bands viel zu chillig drauf waren und sich nicht sagen ließen, wann sie aufhören sollten. Toll!. Ich hatte die ganze Busfahrt zurück einen Ohrwurm, nicht etwa von einem bestimmten Lied, sondern ganz einfach von ganz klassischen Reaggea-(riffs?). Die ganzen 20 Minuten von Reinoldikirche bis Mansfeldstraße bewegte ich meinen Kopf zu imaginären Offbeats. Wo ich grade von spreche. Ich kam in den Genuss des allerbesten Nachtexpresses. Er war komplett leer, niemand stieg ein oder aus. Nur an der Mansfeldstraße sollte er anhalten. Ist aber dran vorbeigefahren. Sowas ist im Bus aber ganz praktisch. So ging ich nach vorne zum Fahrer, sagte: "'tschuldigung, ich wär' da gerne ausgestiegen" und er sacht: "Macht ja nichts" hält vor meinem Gartentor an und lässt mich raus. Netter typ.

folgende Sache ist mir aufgefallen. Es scheint für manche Leute wirklich schwer zu sein, ein Profilbild bei Facebook festzulegen: Ich spreche von der:

-Profilbild Selektion-

jedes gemacht Bild wird schärfstens unter die Lupe genommen, bevor es überhaupt in die Auswahl kommt. Blicke müssen anscheinend künstlich sein und das Bild an sich sollte am besten gestellt aussehen. Das gefällt den Leuten heute. Natürliche Fotos, auf denen die Personen so aussehen, wie sie wirklich aussehen, sind "scheiße" oder "sie gucken komisch darauf" Vielleicht ist es einfach Ziel der Leute unecht auszusehen.
