Julian Cope presents Head Heritage

I never really gave Dancehall much of a chance, mostly because whining about how Reggae died with the '80s along with everything else just sounded so neat and easy. The kind of opinion music mags drum into you. But you know, some of the best stuff ever made came out in that decade, so I don't see why it should be too different with reggae. I think when I first heard Dancehall I wrote it off as the New Romantic of Reggae. Totally wrong. Here's a link to a show on Digital Dancehall by Rinse.FM that's almost singlehandedly brought the genre back from the dead for me. So much excellent music.
