Like reggae? Step right this way...
Reggae can be a dodgy place to visit. For every great Dr Alimantado record, you can land square in a rotten Trojan cover of John Denver. Yes, it does exist ("taaake me hooome..."). So, if you don't have someone to call on for tips or a record shop that doesn't wanna play ball, you really need to pay ReggaeNews a visit.
Aside from reviews and articles, the site has a fistful of cracking podcasts which features killer dubs, jump up rocksteady, roots, ska, cool-ass digital reggae... pretty much anything that comes under the reggae umbrella. Thankfully, it doesn't stick to 60s and 70s, preferring to mix the old with the new. The only drawback is that you'll come away with a list of 'wants' the length of your arm. They've also got a great little interview with Jimmy Cliff.
