Legends of Ska is a documentary film focusing on the sights & sounds of Jamaica during the early 1960s. As the precursor to Reggae, Ska is a mix of Jazz, R&B, and many other styles of music, which continued to make a huge impact far from the island's shores.

Immediately after news broke of Amy Winehouse’s death, “27 Club” became a trending topic on Twitter: the singer had passed away at that same legendary age as many of rock’s other tragic figures. In memory of Amy and “all her friends that died at 27,” M.I.A. shared a demo of “27,” a song recorded before her Vicki Leekx mix from end of December, but never released. Audio and lyrics below.
LYRICS: said your all mouth and no brains all rock stars go to heaven you said you’ll be dead at 27 seven when we drunk in a English tavern the owner poured you the Bourbon and you drunk your self so rotten so he got so rich he bought a Bentley and moved himself to Devon you started dirty dancing and you bar tended a dozen i took you to the clinic to get you clean but you couldn’t said in 2 days ur 27 and and ur destiny was comin so ur papa passed so sudden and left you with lil somin you blew that money on a mountain of drugs and staged your self a bed in a month later when i popped in your still high but the winter set in i bought you a coffee and a muffin and you quoted me some Lenin i wished i was that clever but thats what kept me coming your friendship did mean somin but you left me for nothin when i left, you befriended a rope and i saw you both were hanging.
Balam Acab remixed a song from Ra Ra Riot bassist Mathieu Santos’s solo debut Massachusetts 2010. Asmentioned previously, Alec Koone is a patient, precise composer, so it’s interesting to give a close listen to what he decided to retain, shift, or implode — that in mind, we have Santos’s original along with Balam’s tweak. (Hint: You might want to repaint the above album art black and blue.)
