This is a very nice little documentary, especially if you’re a ska-rocksteady-reggae nerd like me.
There are interviews with lots of old reggae gods, several of whom are no longer with us five years later (Toots, Lee Perry, Bunny Lee).
Dandy Livingstone, aged 74, features throughout because he's so good to listen to. He has a beautiful speaking voice, is very composed and happy to share memories. At one point, he sits down at his keyboard and sings a bit of 'A Message to You, Rudy', and it's just wonderful.
There are dramatizations of Jamaicans in London in the 60s and 70s that are low key and not jarring or cringey like you might expect.
'If that shuffle not in the music, it's not reggae' - Bunny Lee

「Somkin’ Joe」is a bound stand that binds itself to the user’s middle finger.
Rudeboy. When the user feels like they been slighted by someone, they can flip them off to activate Somkin’ Joe’s ability. The target of the finger will catch on fire to an intensity proportional to the shame they feel being flipped off. The stand also grants superhuman finger speed to the middle finger only.
Stats:
Strength: B
Speed: A
Range: C
Durability: D
Precision: B
Development Potential: E
Localized name:「Impolite Lad」

I precisely mean people of YOUR OWN subculture, not other alternative people in general. So I mean: if you are punk, finding other Punks. If you’re goth, finding other goths. If you’re emo, other emos and so on.
If you vote on this please say what you voted and what subculture you’d ascribe yourself to:) (I have some vague ideas of how easy it might be for some groups but I could totally be biased by my own surroundings)
I’ve been thinking about this recently bc I for one sometimes feel like the only one around, I know I’m not. But god!!!! Where is everyone
And lastly: there is no "I’m not alternative" option cuz the last time I did a poll like this, that option absolutely dominated and I don’t fucking. Want that. Tho I still absolutely encourage you to reblog but that doesn’t need to be said does it

Just imagine when you see this post, it is accompanied by the fanfare of a horns section.
