Bob Marley - Is This Love

A few weeks ago a friend posted a status update on Facebook stating her hatred for all things reggae, and to be honest I was a bit shocked. Sure reggae isn't going to be every one's cup of (herb) tea, but I didn't think it was possible to hate something that to me is so positive and happy.

The greatest reggae man of all time Bob Marley was full of love and positivity that it makes me happy every time I listen to any of his tunes. Is This Love, I certainly hope so!

I love the film clip to this song, it's just Marley performing at a kids party and everyone having a good time. Filmed in the days when you could have kids in a film clip without people thinking nasty things about you. I wish this was one of my birthday parties, a great time would be had by all.

So light up the darkness people and let Bob give you a big music hug and share the warmth and love that is reggae.

Bloc Party - Banquet

Oh what's that, your party is lame and no one wants to dance? Then chuck Bangquet on you fool, and the dancefloor will be filled in seconds.

I love how it's damn near impossible to keep your legs still while this song belts out of the speakers (no paraplegic jokes here please). With Kele about to bring out some solo stuff, and Russel joining Ash as part of their live touring band I thought that some old-school Bloc Party was in order.

Sure it's going back a few years now but still rates up there as one of my all time played songs on my iPod, actually correct that, it is the most played song on my iPod. Plus it's certainly one of Bloc Party's all time greatest tunes.

Play it loud!
