Virituell Reggaefestival
With the financial downturn, this year's International Reggae Day will be celebrated mostly on the Internet.
The event, which will be held on July 1, is an annual media festival celebrating Jamaica's rich cultural legacy, history of quality music and global cultural impact.
International Reggae Day is hosted by participating Jamaican and overseas media and anchored online at www.ireggaeday.com. According to the founder and producer of the event, Andrea Davis, it is "a virtual media festival that is intended to use the power of music, media and technology to link people around the world in the celebration, not only of the best of Jamaica, but to highlight the global reggae culture that has grown out our music."

Great cover art
Pappersroser
Ibland gör jag någon annans liv great genom en enkel pappersros. Jag tycker att det är ett fint sätt att ge lite kärlek.
Här kan ni se hur man gör.

Put music in your food!
Här är recept på min favorit Chutney. Som passar underbart till allt grillat. Det blir ungefär en liter, men den håller sig länge i kylen. Men den går åt fort ;)
1 kg plommon
2 gula lökar
3 vitlöksklyftor
1 röd chili
2 1/2 dl socker
2 dl vatten
1 dl vitvinsvinäger
1 kanelstång
1 tsk salt
Skär upp lök och plommon. Hacka vitlöken och chillin (men rensa bort kärnorna). Ner med allt i en gryta eller kastrull. Blanda ner socker, vatten och vinägern. Släng i kanelen. Njut en iskall Red Stripe och låt allt koka upp. Rör om då och då. Låt det sedan småputtra på låg värme i 45 minuter. Smaka av med salt. Låt det sedan svalna och häll upp i en glasburk med lock. Förvara i kylen.
Ren kärlek.

Happy music
Having a rough day? Feeling blue? Here is a mixed songlist that is sure to brighten your mood /Amy
- Aerosmith, "Pink:" From 1997's Nine Lives. That album was one of the band's most underrated. This song is very tongue-in-cheek and fun, much like the band itself.
- Bob Marley and the Wailers, "Three Little Birds:" Featured on the brilliant album Legend, released in 1984 (3 years after Marley's death,) this song has an upbeat message: "Every little thing is gonna be alright."
- The Clash, "Rock The Casbah:" From 1982's Combat Rock. The Clash were so very far ahead of their time. Combat Rock and Sandinista are two of the best albums in rock history. The Clash were not known for making "happy" music per se, but this song was an invitation to the suppressed people of the Middle East to rock out.
- The Cure, "Close To Me:" The Cure is NOT a happy band by any stretch of the imagination, but this song's finger-snapping beat, tinkling piano and horns make it happy in spite of the not-so-upbeat lyrics. "Friday I'm In Love" has happier lyrics, but "Close To Me" is a more joyous musical experience.
- Information Society, "What's On Your Mind:" This dance hit from Information Society's 1988 eponymous album is about a relationship at a stand-still because of lack of communication. It's on the list simply for its great beat and catchy synthesizers.
- Lauryn Hill, "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You:" This remake of a 1967 Frankie Valli song is perfectly suited to Hill's smoky voice. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is a worthy purchase. The song is one of two hidden tracks at the end of the album.
- Madonna, "Like a Prayer:" It's hard to be in a bad mood when singing along with a gospel choir.
- Mary J. Blige, "Real Love:" Before Mary was the hip-hop queen she is today, she had this first hit in 1992. The irresistable piano loop and drums sampled from the 1988 Audio Two song "Top Billin'" make this song catchy.
- Naughty by Nature, "Ghetto Bastard (Everything's Gonna Be Alright:)" The beat and bass line of this song are what makes it great to listen to. The lyrics are plaintively about the trials and tribulations the band went through growing up in New Jersey.
- Nikka Costa, "Swing It Around:" This song is the definition of funk. The heavy, humming bass and Costa's soulful voice bring back the era of Etta James and Nina Simone. Costa's CD, Can'tneverdidnothin', is a dirty, bluesy trip across musical genres.
- Prince and the New Power Generation, "Sexy M.F.:" Speaking of funk, this is one of Prince's most dirty, fun tracks. The lyrics are not for the faint of heart, but the horn section is amazing.
- Suzanne Vega, "Tom's Diner:" This little song about a day in the life of...wait for it...Tom's Diner...was a hit for Vega in the early 90's. The catchy beat, smooth vocals and simple story make you forget your own life.
- Yerba Buena, "Guajira:" The group, named after a "good tea" or "good herb" penned this song in honor of a popular style of Columbian music. YB's sound is Afro-Cuban-Columbian-Hip-Hop. This song was tailor-made for hip swiveling.

Artykamrater!
Varför beställer man ett porträtt?
Och vad väljer man att ha på sig när man avbildas?
Är porträttet en minnesbild för kommande generationer?
Hur vill man bli ihågkommen?
Kanske med en rosenbuske i bakgrunden som symbol för kärlek. Eller ett fång aklejor för fruktsamhet. Eller med en bönskida i handen?
Kanske en liten hund vid fötterna som symbol för trohet?
Och ett romantiskt, stormande landskap i bakgrunden som visar hur själfull man faktiskt är. Känsloliv och landskap blir ett.
Man kan också låta sig avbildas som någon annan.
Som Jeanne d?Arc.
Eller Tuvstarr?
Eller Marilyn Monroe.
Eller Venus från Willendorf!
Håll till godo!
