Up "All Night" With the Marleys
How hot is this? Damian Marley and Stephen Marley's "All Night." I musta listened to this thrusty slice of goodness 10 times today. It was hiding on my iPod, waiting for just the right moment to reveal itself. So good, so toasty. I'm gonna use this sucker to anchor my Friday party playlist.
My advice to you is to just let it play. Just let it fuse itself to your hips. From Damian's 2005 album "Welcome to Jamrock." You can thank me later...
Sean Daly is the pop music critic for the St. Petersburg Times. His CD collection -- from Journey to Dylan, Prince to U2, Public Enemy to Stan Getz -- is much bigger and better than yours.
THIS WEEK'S SHOW: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers rock Tampa Bay. To hear the latest "Stuck in the 80s" episode now, 
SEAN! That song has an awesome, killer, wicked cool beat! Me likey! On beat 2 my head started boppin' like a hawaiian bobble head girl in the back of a Dodge Dart!

This reminded me to suggest Shaggy and Shaggyesque rhythms. I wanna come to the party!!!

OOH, Shaggy... Boombastic, Midnight Lover, and It Wasn't me!! Good thing they are already on my ipod!

Ridiculously talented family. Too bad half bro Ziggy and the rest of the Melody Makers have been so quiet the past few years (save for a stint in a Shark Tale).
Perhaps a little Dawn Penn, "You Don't Love Me (No, No, No)" or JC Lodge, "Telephone Love" to round out your Rasta/Dancehall vibe and get the hips swaying.

Very cool tune. Great find Sean.

Cannot wait to listen to this tomorrow -- I'm currently on a lovely cruise ship somewhere between Tampa and key west and some Marleys will be the perfect mood music once I discover where I packed my headphones.

Yeah, Sean, I wish you got residuals from the artists or iTunes. Or better yet, free stuff to give to your devotees. You've cost us a fortune this weekend! lol Damn you, man! I'll be eating Ramen all this week because I spent my lunch money on tunage.
Quite frankly, I think Jane, Carla and myself are deserving of a copy of the Party List Compilation we helped with.
C'mon. What'cha think?

I don't have anything to add here, except, here's a wish that you all have a Safe and Happy New Year. If 2007 was a good year I hope that 2008 is a continuation and if 2007 was a bad year I hope that 2008 is an improvement.

That's just down right happy music. I must have listened to it at least 4 times while running today. Thanks.
