Fuck it. I'm posting the soundboards................... (PGroove content)

Alright, so basically Perpetual Groove's online system of delivering crispy ass soundboards was a huge failure. Most of the people who attempted to purchase them were unsuccessful in downloading the files. It was a big mess. And to top it all off, the company handling the downloading of the soundboards recently went belly-up (as stated in a previous post of mine on this blog).

So, I've said all along that these would not be posted. But fuck it, they aren't selling them at shows, they aren't selling them online, and these are the only true soundboards in existence. This band NEEDS to be heard. Perpetual Groove is great music. The lyrics are on point. The lyricist, Brock Butler, is a very talented vocalist and guitarist, and the other three guys each play their instruments like champions. I really, really enjoy this band, and I'd love for more people to jump on board. Here are several soundboards - each with its own mood, setlist, ambiance, etc...

Eat this shit up, cause there are maybe 100-250 of these guys floating around if I were a guessing man.

Picks from the Fan, volume 2

Alright, so this volume is a little bit more indicative of what I am capable of pushing out as far as randomness in my selections is concerned. This volume features a much more eclectic mix of sounds. I'm not sure how it will be pushed over into your computer after uncompressing the .rar file, but here is how I would prefer you arrange the tracks before you journey off into listen-land. I like to flow out the music to create a specific mood --- that's the DJ coming out in me. With this said, I'd like to present to you -

Show a Day, volume 4

Again, today's Show of the Day is going to feature a tape that isn't a show at all, but rather, it is a tape that holds a special place in my heart and to my ears. This reggae compilation is amazing. The Chantells and Friends is a reggae tape that has the potential to make a non-reggae listener begin listening simply because of its awesome, nearly hyptnotic island sound. Each track on this album holds relevance, and I do not have a single track on this tape that I would consider to be "filler". No, no filler or fodder on this guy... just great, melodic, sweet sweet reggae music at its finest. This is how reggae was supposed to sound. And I bet you $5 that you've never heard a single track on this record (unless you happen to be a reggae afficiando - then the bet is off!).

I really hope you guys enjoy this. It's a wonderful collection of obscure roots reggae from the glory days of roots reggae. This is The Chantells and Friends: 1977-1979:
