the STORY of STAX...

...the WoMaD celebrations continue here on rfsMOJOfilter with a feature on Stax Records, an American record label founded in 1957, originally based out of Memphis, Tennessee. The label was a major factor in the creation of the Southern soul and Memphis soul music styles, and frequently released early funk and 1960s Chicago blues recordings. While Stax almost exclusively produced African-American music, the label is noted for having several popular ethnically-integrated bands.

`I don't much care where--' said Alice.

`Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Cat.

`--so long as I get SOMEWHERE,' Alice added as an explanation.

`Oh, you're sure to do that,' said the Cat, `if you only walk long enough.'

The Harder They Come - OST

...back to DUBSTOCK with the original soundtrack to the greatest jamaican film ever made, watch it NOW over on MojoTV or download the soundtrack HERE

In 1973, when the movie The Harder They Come was released, reggae was not on the radar screen of American pop culture. The soundtrack went a ways toward changing that situation. It is a collection of consistently excellent early reggae songs by artists who went on to thrive with reggae's increased popularity and others for whom this is the most well-known vehicle. Jimmy Cliff is both the star of the movie and the headliner on the soundtrack. He contributes three excellent songs: the hymnal "Many Rivers to Cross," "You Can Get It If You Really Want," and "The Harder They Come" (the latter two are repeated at the end of the album, but you probably wanted to hear them again anyway). Interestingly, the better production values of his songs actually seems to detract from them when compared to the rougher, but less sanitized, mixes of the other tracks. All the songs on this collection are excellent, but some truly stand out. Toots & the Maytals deliver two high-energy songs with "Sweet and Dandy" and "Pressure Drop" (covered by the Clash among others). Scotty develops a mellow, loping groove on "Stop That Train" (not the same as the Wailers' song by the same name) and the Slickers prove on "Johnny Too Bad" that you don't have to spout profanity or graphic violence to convey danger. The Harder They Come is strongly recommended both for the casual listener interested in getting a sense of reggae music and the more serious enthusiast. Collections don't come much better than this.

...you CAN get it if you really want...

PRIMAL SCREAM!!! - Beautiful Future!!!

...you LUCKY people...
...we interrupt normal DUBSTOCK service here on rfsMOJOfilter to announce the release of BEAUTIFUL FUTURE, PRIMAL SCREAM's NINTH opus, on the 21st of this month. 'Beautiful Future' will be the veteran rockers' first album for their new label B-Unique and is led by the single 'Can't Go Back Out' on July 14. Featuring collaborations from the likes of Lovefoxx of CSS, Josh Homme from Queens Of the Stone Age and folk legend Linda Thompson, the album could see the band treading pastures new with pop wunderkid Björn Yttling [Peter, Björn and John] and Paul Epworth (Bloc Party) handling most of the production duties.

The duet with Lovefoxxx, 'I Love To Hurt (You Love To Be Hurt)' is described as a being "full of shivering electro pulses and tense, claustrophobic rhythms", while other tracks will feature the band's trademark soul, electronica and rock n'' roll.

“If you hear this new record of ours from start to finish,” explains Bobby Gillespie, ”and you hear all the different sounds and styles and moods, atmospheres and instrumentation that we use, it¹s different from the last record and different from the record before that. You know, there¹s not one set Primal Scream song where it¹s verse-bridge-chorus-middle-eight. But this album is more like a pop record, more like classic songwriting.”

...for those of us who CAN'T WAIT till the 21st, download the FULL ALBUM HERE
it's a beautiful future, better get some shades...

...with all this MOJO we are soiling ourselves...

3. You're Wondering Now

4. Cupid

...here's what SKA geek J J Loy has to say on SKA BLAH BLAH -

"Earlier this year, I followed a link to an underdeveloped MySpace page that boasted some Specials covers by the retro-licous, Amy Winehouse. These not-so-impressive tracks were obviously demos and weren’t worth repeated listenings- let alone an official release. That’s why I wasn’t in too big of a hurry to check out what’s been described as her Ska EP, when I read about it here and here.

Man, was I wrong. Winehouse’s versions of Monkey Man, Hey Little Rich Girl, You’re Wondering Now and Cupid are clean and polished- spic and span. Cupid is done as an upbeat Reggae tune while the others are arranged a lot like the Specials’ versions, but Winhouse’s vocal flourishes save the tracks from feeling unnecesarry."

Ray Conniff - The Lost DUB Sessions

... back to DUBSTOCK with this lost classic from 1977...


1. Unchained Mischief
2. The Bah, the Dah, and the Ugly

6. (I Never Promised You) Rizla's Garden

10. So Long, Dark Destroyer

"Ray Conniff’s reggae phase is rarely mentioned by anyone outside of true Conniff aficionados. Conniff fans can’t figure out why the maestro abandoned his memorable melodies. Dub experts figure him for a lazy colonialist, abusing Jamaican rhythms for the sake of his white-bread harmonies. Everyone else regards it as an uninspired oddity...."

BECK - Modern Guilt

Store Date: 7 jul 2008
Upload Date: 1 jul 2008
Label: Interscope Records
Genre: Misc.
Cover: front
Bitrate: 320 kb/s, joint stereo

Beck's new album Modern Guilt contains 10 new songs, and with the exception of last year's Grammy-nominated, digital-only single "Timebomb", Modern Guilt is the first new material Beck has written since the prolific stretch that produced 2005's platinum Guero and 2006's universally acclaimed The Information.

Modern Guilt is a tightly assembled group of songs that range in lyrical tone from introspection and social commentary to off the cuff wordplay and lighthearted humor. Musically, the album's ten tracks vacillate between economy and experimentation, hybrid and pop classicism, while consistently manifesting Beck and Danger Mouse's shared interest in psych-rock, folk, electronic minimalism and orchestration.

...with all this mojo we are soiling ourselves...
