Le multiculturalisme est la voie à suivre pour toute société, pour toute société civilisée, et si nous pouvons le défendre à travers la nouvelle musique que nous créons, alors je pense que c’est fantastique.

-DIY Forever-
Autograph session

It was raining cats and dogs that evening in #Berlin X-Berg and I was glad to have my jacket. Later at the merch, Pauline Black signed it for me. She asked if I had made it and that she liked it. I liked her show! She was born in 1953, dances and performs with enthusiasm and action

Photos from The Selecter concert to come, stay tuned.

THE SELECTER
Too Much Pressure
1980 Canada pressing

Although I’ve got a week or so to go in my recovery, I wanted to get up and move around today and do something useful.

So, I’ve put this on, and I’m going to strip off the sheets and blankets, wash them, and remake the bed.

The SELECTER should give me a nice, jaunty musical motivation by which to do so.

It feels really nice being able to stand up and not feel like you’re falling from a 60 story building.

MusInclusion #32 – Jürgen
by @arnicamontana_d7

Heute gibt uns Jürgen mal einen kleinen Einblick, was es bedeutet, mit Rollstuhl einen Konzertbesuch zu planen. Wie bitter es sein kann, wenn dieses dann ausfällt, erzählt er im Spontan-Interview zum The Selecter-Konzert am 06.06.25. Dort habe ich ihn vor verschlossener Pforte getroffen und angequatscht.

The Selecter, Celebrate the Bullet, 1981 on Chrysalis

The Selecter were a Coventry band on 2 Tone; Celebrate the Bullet was their second album, following Too Much Pressure. Neol Davies, Pauline Black, and Arthur Hendrickson did most of the songwriting here, with production by Roger Lomas.

My copy—via Lucky Records in Reykjavik—is a 1981 Santa Maria pressing.

Definitely one to remember to watch if you're in the UK tonight. Sky Arts have a Pauline Black documentary at 9pm and it sounds like it's going to be a good one. #70sMusic #80sMusic #ska #TheSelecter #2tone #PaulineBlack #TOTP
