PODCAST reviews

Podcasts are a great way to get yourself familiar with all kinds of artists and styles you might like to consider for your next purchase. It is also a very good way of experiencing Reggae in an alternative way as many podcasts are de facto non-stop mixes, often put together by skillful DJ's and other Sound System personnel. The Dubroom has reviewed many of the best podcast(ers) throughout the years, all of which you can discover in our reviewed podcast pages. Be sure to also check out the Dubroom's own podcast.

ECHO CHAMBER - WORD BEAT POWA 2
DUBROOM PODCAST REVIEW

WWW, May 2007 - It's not just, that part 2 of the Echo chamber's excursion into DUB Poetry enlarges our knowledge on this underrated form of Reggae. But that truly is a reason to download another three-hour show full of great drum and bass driven music!

BROADCASTER COMMENTS: Week 2 of the KFAI Spring Pledge Drive and the doctors of dub put together a heavy, heavy show! 

First off, we did part 2 of "Word Beat I Powa", our annual dub poetry/poetry/spoken word special. From our pal Planet Jackson (from On the Wire , BBC Lancashire) we had 2 cool poems from dub poet Benjamin Zephaniah (including the hilarious "Talking Turkeys"). 

From the Jamaican dub poets Royal African Soldiers we received a history lesson through Ginsu's telling of the "Glorious Past." One of LKJ's dreadest tracks ever, "Five Nights of Bleeding" kept the dub poetry thing going. 

Then we returned to beat poet Jack Kerouac for a few excerpts (with Paul Haig's "Cinematique" providing some jazzy background). DJ Swiss added the trippy poetry of Tarwater (with the track "Lower Manhattan Pantoum"). 

One poem we repeated from last week was "Never Here", by e.g. bailey. Rounding out the "Word Beat" was one great Jamaican "toaster" that we missed last week, the incomparable Big Youth (backed by some heavy Twilight Circus). 

On top of this we had a bunch of new music from Up, Bustle, & Out, Finn the Giant, Doctor Echo/Who Knows, Messian Dread, Maimon, The Storytellers, Cherine Anderson, Natural Black (w/ Twilight Circus), Luciano, Library Science, and more. Finally, we got a taste of the Mad Professor live show (at Martyrs' in Chicago), as recorded by the TurnTableTerrorist of Echo Beach (WLUW-FM). 

Dread....beat...and Dub!
