Bunnyboy glad to hear your wife's students are enjoying the Non-Jamaican Spooktacular... my kids really loved that mix as well especially with the musical Silver Shamrock jingle from Halloween 3! They were kind of disappointed that this years Non-Jamaican mix was a little darker than the light-hearted, child-friendly mixes I usually put together. Oh well, there's always next Halloween! :)<BR/><BR/>Christofari - Great to hear from you! I'm glad that you're enjoying the monster/duppy tunes and really pleased that you're getting to hear things you've never heard before. Duppy Hi-Fi is a wicked name! If I was in the position to run a sound system that would be a name I'd find hard from stealing from you! :) <BR/><BR/>Just to let you and everyone else know... I am upping the complete mix on Friday... So if you can't get some of the tracks to download because of that Zshare issue you won't need to worry.<BR/><BR/>Christofari I thank you for recognizing this yearly project for what it is, a labor of love and don't worry if I get turned-off toward blogging the Jamaican Halloween Spooktacular 2009 you'll definitely get a copy through other means.<BR/><BR/>JohnJohn AKA Reggaexxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09743484818147332796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17691494.post-87077096688861979112008-10-29T10:38:00.000-04:002008-10-29T10:38:00.000-04:00I just don't know how you do it, Reggaexx - I woul...I just don't know how you do it, Reggaexx - I wouldn't say my knowledge of reggae was totally encyclopaedic, but you've unearthed (or should it be exhumed) some more musty MONSTERS, most of which I'd never heard before! Given my enduring passion for eerie ska, dub and reggae (hell, even the name of the sound system I run out of East London, UK is Duppy Hi-Fi), you can best believe I'm in HEAVEN listening to this mix.<BR/><BR/>I should mention though that I've been unable to download tracks 1 - 9 (the irritating zshare links refuse to work for me - could it be a Mac thing?) But if you post the whole mix on the big day I'll be only too happy to suck it up!!!<BR/><BR/>How can I thank you enough?! That is a lot of pleasure you're spreading, and I know the effort it must have taken. It always saddens me to hear how few people leave comments, 'cause I recognise how your posts come from the heart. Please, please include me on any future mailing, if it comes to that - your blog is a real lifeline. Thanks again, and MIGHTY respect,<BR/><BR/>Christofari(at)djCue(dot)co(dot)uk<BR/><BR/>P.S. Remember (the sorely-missed) Mikey Dread's great 'Pre Dawn Dub' from his African Anthem album! That's got to be my alltime favourite Halloween howler... :( )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17691494.post-67538263064298402542008-10-28T00:29:00.000-04:002008-10-28T00:29:00.000-04:00Loving it all so far, can't wait to spin the whole...Loving it all so far, can't wait to spin the whole thing as one.<BR/><BR/>Just to let you know, the 2007 Spooktacular (non-jamaican style) is a hit in my wife's classroom (grade 4's know how to have fun) and at the cottage. Well done!bunnyboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02647970973738789559noreply@blogger.com
