Last night the godfather of dub, Lee “Scratch” Perry and his band performed at the Sydney Opera House as part of Brian Eno’s Luminous festival. Perry has always been a mad bugger, and now at 73 years old, he’s a mad ancient bugger, complete with purple-dyed hair and beard, gold-sprayed shoes and loads of bling. His half-open eyes show the toll that years of ganja and other drugs have taken, but at least he is still alive, a fact that should give Iggy Pop hope for a long future ahead of him!

Nathanael’s favourite album: Speakers and Tweeters
Speakers and Tweeters by UK group Dub Pistols has been a favourite of mine for quite a few months now possibly odd considering dub isn’t a genre I have many albums from – mostly d&b, house, rock & metal – but it’s a great album to chill back to; I can listen to it over and over again and never get sick of it.
