Lowe Wit, Rude Boys
Exhausting times. Keeping up with music changes here is like constantly running for a bus, getting one foot on the platform, then realizing it’s the wrong number. Exciting times. Not in the dramatic sense of a separate movement outside the current mainstream (like punk and reggae were/are) but the way the edges are diffusing, things keep moving and expanding.

Exhausting times. Keeping up with music changes here is like constantly running for a bus, getting one foot on the platform, then realizing it’s the wrong number. Exciting times. Not in the dramatic sense of a separate movement outside the current mainstream (like punk and reggae were/are) but the way the edges are diffusing, things keep moving and expanding. I can go to a gig now and see something I don’t expect. Sometimes the experiment works. Sometimes it’s too far out in left field and I’m not in the mood to try and work it all out. Sometimes it’s so insidious you need a mole--, cular break-down.
