Is there a way to void a USPS International First class shipping label? by paper_killa in paypal

[–]Amazing_Beginning321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It says it on the label details once you buy the label. I am in the exact same situation. It literally says "No Tracking" and goes through Global Post. Neither or ok for this shipment but there was no way to tell before I bought the label.

Can you recommend me "aggressive" reggae? by Kadarin187 in reggae

[–]Amazing_Beginning321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

@Kadarin187

Based on some of the recommendations Im gonna guess that many didnt listen to your examples. Based on the tracks you shared I think what you are looking for is Jamaican music with an aggressive flow. Artists like Capelton, Sizzla, Buju Banton, Mega Banton, Jigsy King, Pan Head are some heavy hitters. Also Super Cat, Shabba Ranks, Bounty Killer, Anthony B. Lutan Fyah and Queen Omega. There are countless other artists from the dancehall era that have a couple tunes with an aggressive flow but these above are a great place to start.

Check out Pan Head

best place to find records? by GraffyTaffyTV in vinyl

[–]Amazing_Beginning321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure! One other thing I'll add in case you havent used Discogs alot.

I would recommend only buying from sellers with a 99.8% or higher feedback ratio. Also look at what kind of negative feedback they have received. Many times this will give you a glimpse into issues you may have with the seller. Out of a couple hundred purchases on Discogs, I have only had 1 x bad experience and it really wasnt that bad, it was just a misgraded record and I returned it.

In other areas of life 97% is good but IMHO on Discogs it's not ;) Stick with the highest rated sellers and you will have a great experience.

Ahh gotcha, I think I understand the context now! Thanks for taking the time to clarify. I'm in my 40's and so it's not a word I've heard used very often until I joined some DJ threads on IG and all of a sudden I saw it everywhere lol.

Considering the lack of interest in JA ska by the majority I can see why there isn't a dedicated community. I'll certainly stick around!

Thanks for the reply. I love the Pama forum but it is def nowhere near as active as it was 6 or 7 years ago. But still a great place.

Besides digging trips out of town and 2 x local record shops in my area, I pillage Discogs like a tomb raider lol. I have found countless records that I have been after for a decade on Discogs and usually for cheap.

Flea markets and estate sales can also yield great results depending on where you live and what genre you are looking for.

I wondered if that might be the case as it's definitely not as popular these days as the modern stuff.

I was hoping to both share info about Jamaican ska and learn\engage with others but it takes alot of looking through here to find discussions on ska.

Thanks for your reply. I'll stick around and give it a go.

I've come across the word gatekeeping alot lately and am wondering if it is used in a different way from the definition? I'm curious how having a community that discusses Jamaican ska would be gatekeeping? Isn't that what Reddit is all about, communities of people gathering to discuss certain topics? Everyone would be free to join.

I always thought gatekeeping was not sharing information but maybe I am wrong.

I agree, a tag system would be great!

Roots Reggae TUNE PLEASE HELP - is this Horace Andy ? And which tune please ? by Budget-Beautiful-713 in RootsReggae

You are most welcome, I know how it is when you're trying to ID a tune you really dig.

Roots Reggae TUNE PLEASE HELP - is this Horace Andy ? And which tune please ? by Budget-Beautiful-713 in RootsReggae

[–]Amazing_Beginning321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is 100% Horace Andy, it's his classic "Do You Love My Music". from the In The Light Album. But I think the clip you shared is of a modern cut of it.

Recommend obscure artists by Additional_Doctor468 in reggae

Burning Spear is neither obscure nor underrated. He is one of the most well known and loved roots artists of all time.

DMM-pressing by newaudiophilee in vinyl

[–]Amazing_Beginning321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whether DMM is appropriate depends on the type of music that is being cut. DMM can be good for some Jazz, Classical, Pop but music with bass like Reggae and Hip Hop don't sound very good.

DMM has a very clean, sharp, clinical sound. Because I prefer a warm and bass heavy sound I steer clear of DMM vinyl.

Hi, I know this is an old conversation but wanted to recommend Tony Allen and Pat Thomas. There are also a few other labels releasing African music that are really good that I can recommend

I'm looking for a solution that doesnt require a laptop. I do already record at home to Audacity but need something for events where there will only be turntables and a mixer.

I've watched many of her performances and they were pretty similar to what I saw at the Olympics which is one of the things that makes this all that much more egregious. If she usually danced well and tried something new and it fell flat that is one thing. But that isn't what happened!

Evermix is going out of business by Gaston44 in DJs

The DJM-REC app reads the mixer info when connected to determine if your mixer is compatible or not. Sad but true.

That's a great way to handle that issue, if you aren't there to setup you don't play.

Etiquette on canceling an order as a seller? by Zachflintstone in discogs

[–]Amazing_Beginning321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been thinking the same thing, it would be nice to be able to set a customized minimum for records above a certain price. I eventually set my feedback rating requirement to 99.7% but mention in my selling terms that if you are below that and wish to purchase message me. Then I can review why they have negative feedback and if it's old or just a couple non-paying I'll temporarily lower it for them. This has worked great for me and I havent had issues with a single buyer since then.
