Dubroom Online, Edition October 12 2009
"THREE DIFFERENT SIDES OF REGGAE" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)
WWW, October 12 2009 - Today's edition of Dubroom Online has three interesting features, especially when you scroll down and actually see them three-gether.
We're talking about a 1980's Punk Band that came straight out of the Punky Reggae Party in the 1970's, a contemporary controversial Dancehall artist with -let's say- a reputation, and a Rasta singer whose upfull and positive lyrics increases Consciousness in the hearts and souls of those that listen to his music.
A greater contrast could hardly be portrayed.
Yet, all these three artists represent a part of what altogether is known as Reggae Music: from the raw Dub of the Ruts to the pumping Dancehall of Vybz Kartel to the upfull Roots, Rub a Dub and Lovers Rock of Freddie Mc Gregor.
One Love, Give Thanks,

WWW, October 2009 - Taken from his new album "Pon Di Gaza", Whine Up Your Body has a joyful vybe as Vybz Kartel voices about the topic he knows so well. The end is a bit abrupt, but it's well worth the download.
WWW, October 2009 - He started in 1963 at the tender age of seven and has been steadily growing for the decades after that. Now, in 2009, Freddie Mc Gregor is still active and has become a name to reckon with, and not only because of the Lover's Rock and Rub a Dub he released in the 1980's.
