The Aggrolites :: “Free Time”

Listen to “Free Time” on MySpace.

The Aggrolites

You’ve put in your hours or days or weeks or months or years. Now, you have time to enjoy those simple pleasures you missed. The Aggrolites know how to spend free time. You can tell by the beat and by the catchy organ. If “Free Time” (from the album Reggae Hit L.A.)suggests that your time away has led others to abandon you, it also suggests that you’ll soon get over it. How can you be sad when you have free time (as well as that catchy organ)?

Easy Star All Stars :: “Karma Police”

Listen to “Karma Police” here.

The cover of Radiodread, by the Easy Star All Stars

You haven’t really heard Radiohead’s OK Computer until you’ve heard it re-made into a Reggae album by the Easy Star All-Stars (they named their version Radiodread). The meaning of “Karma Police” is significantly enhanced when it is placed at an intersection with the way of life of the Jamaican people. This version of the song is the definition of how context is everything.
