One for the hot days and last of the ‘three Magi’ series (who just loved to smoke all evening and follow stars afterwards) covering Roots, Dub, Ska, Dancehall, Rocksteady, et al. Note that this is not an attempt to provide the “definative” collection, this third installment per example is much pop-oriented and features non-reggae artists (The Clash, Ted Leo) exploring the genre. Rather I just wanted to provide a glimpse of the vast scope of Jamaican influenced music and share some of my favorite songs in these genres with all you fine people. The links for the two previous playlists of this endeavor will continue working for a while so if you haven’t gave them a listen you still get a chance before they’re gone for good.

Can’t barely wait for the dog days of summer.
