“It’s good to be modern if you can stand it.
It’s like being left out in the rain, and coming to understand that you were always this way: modern, wet, abandoned, though with that special intuition that makes you realize you weren’t meant to be somebody else, for whom the makers of modernism will stand inspection even as they wither and fade in today’s glare.” Excerpt From Commotion of the Birds: New Poems by John Ashbery

Freak Fighter is going to focus on reggae dub for a while. This is an odd starting point but this journal has never been known for its coherency. Scanning through some early recordings I decided to start here: The Upsetter by ... wiki says The Upsetters and Discogs and Spotify say Various and the album is... well dub had room to grow, put it that way but the track I YouTubed linked about Crying About You is certainly a gem, it’s not dub but it’s a gem. A soul number sung by Busty Brown and a Discogs writing credit attributed to “Scratch” Lee Perry.

Winston Wright Correctly far more associated with rock steady ska we’re still going to take a look at this Hammond Organ bad ass. He absolutely slays on this Upsetters track, Cold Sweat. God bless whoever uploaded this clip. Here he is killing it again as The Liquidator. and finally some absolutely delicious dub

Upsetters 14 Dub Blackboard Jungle Studio album by The Upsetters This is an important record to know about because it’s a very early pioneer of the real deep dish dub sound. It’s a great listen and fully unassailable. A little Lamp Lighter information that’s not on wiki and I can’t source it but whatevs. The number 14 in the title is a numerological play on two sevens which is a reference to the Rastafari obsession with the Marcus Garvey prophesy that apocalyptic events were to take place 07/07/77. The original release intentionally had seven tracks per side.

This Is...Augustus Pablo 1974 Augustus Pablo is one of most important figures in the history of Jamaican music and an unassailable pioneer in the history of dub. He was also the greatest melodica player of all time. This Is is a great album to chill out with. The entire album is great but I love this song: Arabian Rock Chinna kills it on guitar! Earl "Chinna" Smith

I've tried and failed to give a **** about reggae several times but The Upsetters are currently giving me what I wanted from reggae without being as bland and monotonous. Good look, homie.

Pick A Dub Album by Keith Hudson Since this has already been called a classic in every way possible I’m going to take a look at some of the evolution of one song on it which is a cover of The Dramatics’ In The Rain, one of my favorite Stax singles. Here’s the instrumental version on the original release of Pick a Dub Here’s a vocal version included on the deluxe edition And here’s a couple of great hip hop songs that sample it

King Tubbys Meets Rockers Uptown Studio album by Augustus Pablo and King Tubby In another thread we were talking about the DIY low budget recording trends and the impact of changing prices and technology. Well, if you want to hear one of the greatest triumphs of that ethic check out this unassailable classic. For I & I.
