♫ I do like to be beside the sea ! ♫

Seconde édition du rendez-vous annuel que se donnent quelques Skinheads anglais sur le front de mer, à Brighton, haut lieu de nostalgie s'il en est. Les amateurs de memorabilia devraient y trouver certainement leur compte, mais l'événement ne risque pas, comme naguère, de défrayer la chronique. Pour s'en convaincre il suffit de comparer les clichés archi connus des regroupements de crâne rasés sur la côte, les jours fériés de la fin des année 60 et du début des années 80 et ceux du Skinhead Great Reunion de l'année dernière. S'il est possible que vous retrouviez parfois les mêmes personnages, avec 30 ans de mieux (quelquefois plus) vous remarquerez l'absence des forces de l'ordre, ça en dit long, cela dit il ne devrait pas s'en trouver beaucoup pour le regretter.

(1) Marrant comme les jamaïcains on été impressionné par la conquête spatiale (et les westerns spaghetti), le nom des Skatalites en est un exemple.
Un autre Skatalites est mort ...

... et cette fois, c'est le contrebassiste, âgé de 80 ans, Lloyd Brevett qui est parti le 3 mai 2012 rejoindre Don Drummond, Tommy Mc Cook et les autres, sur les 10 membres fondateurs du groupe , 8 sont aujourd'hui décédés.

Bob Marley's universal appeal, impact on music history and role as a social and political prophet is both unique and unparalleled. MARLEY is the definitive life story of the musician, revolutionary, and legend, from his early days to his rise to international superstardom. Made with the support of the Marley family, the film features rare footage, incredible performances and revelatory interviews with the people that knew him best.
From Academy Award-winning director Kevin Macdonald (One Day In September, The Last King of Scotland) comes the story of a towering figure of musical history, whose music and message has transcended different cultures, languages and creeds to resonate around the world today as powerfully as when he was alive.
Judge Dread Is Back ?

Un tribute band à Judge Dread ? On a peine à y croire, les mecs s'attaquent quand même à du lourd là (dans tous les sens du terme), même si Flo, en bon ersatz, semble posséder toute la panoplie, même le poulet en plastoque qui reste toujours aussi sélect et de très bon goût.
In 2011 the Early Reggae band "The Upsessions" met Flo at one of their shows in Austria.
After they had seen Flo's marvellous imitation of Judge Dread the idea came up to pay tribute to the Judge.
From March 2012 the Judge Dread Memorial will enter stages all over Europe and play Judge Dread's biggest hits, from "Big Six" to "Big Eight" and from "When we were Skins" to "Ska Fever".
Are you a big Judge Dread fan and do you want to sing along with all Judge Dread's biggest hits ?
