We aren't getting much help weather wise getting a summery vibe on up here in the rainy north. I think the couple of weekends we had in May and June are going to be looked back as our summer.
So if the weather isn't going to play the game maybe we can get in the mood with some class reggae from Lee Perry's stable. Long Enough, for some inextricable reason was never released back in 1977 and was to be one of the tracks on Candy McKenzie's album for Island that was shelved but then finally released on Trojan in 2011. I have never bought the album as I read some reviews at the time that said that the production was awful and a lot of vocals not very good. Something that can't be said about this track which I first heard when I purchased The Return of Sound System Scratch, a collection of unreleased tracks, dubs and instrumentals all sprinkled with the Upsetter's magic dust and well worth seeking out.
In my head the sun is shining and it's 32 degrees.

The sun is shining here, Drew. Today's track somehow sits nicely with the nice sunny day we have here.
Do one George!
(Have you got the new Fall album yet?)
Yes and to me it is very poor, to reliant on metal like riffs and gurgling, flem in throat non vocals nonsense. Final track has a 5 minute guitar solo to end it! According to some it's the best thing the group have done in years. I think that some people need their ears syringed. I think this will be my last Fall purchase.
It's left no impression for me. I can't think of anything that stands out.
Weather here in Seattle a real head scratcher. It hasn't rained in 44 days! The all-time record is 51, and there is nothing in the forecast. It will be 100 degrees on Thursday... only the fourth time that has ever happened. Good thing we had the rainiest winter ever or we would be in real trouble. Sorry about your Fall album, fellas. I know Mark is a biggie with most of our crowd. Nice track today, Drew.
' I think this will be my last Fall purchase.'
Yeah, right.
