strictly slackness!


alright, reggie is right. i am at my slackest on mon. and tues. sorry sometimes i'll stay up late and get my beloved readers some content when arrive at the mines, but i've been swamped lately at work myself. of course, as reggie points out, no one is slacker than the great general echo, about whom this was said (really one of my favorite biographical blurbs of all time):

Ranking Slackness, better known as General Echo set up his own sound system, Echo Tone Hi Fi, and became extremely popular because of his preference for slackness and his typical vocal delivery. Under the supervision of Winston Riley, he succesfully versioned the 'Stalag 17' riddim, retitling it 'Arleen'. The song stayed in the charts for weeks. Shortly after the release of his '12 Inches Of Pleasure' set he was shot dead by the police in 1980.
