Get Carter

One of my heroes is Jah Wobble. He is frighteningly prolific and the majority of his output is stellar. It's not hard to tell from his simple-yet-groundbreaking bass lines in the early PiL days to his recent Chinese Dub work that the man has an deep seeded passion for his work.

His most recent release returns to the simple and an old-school format: a 10" single in a plain cardboard jacket with two versions of the theme to Get Carter. It's been playing in my house regularly for the past few weeks. Simple, dub, melodic. Done right.

I also finished his autobiography, Memoirs of a Geezer, a few weeks ago, which I highly recommend if you're into the music biography type of thing. It's heartening to find an artist reach his prime, and then some, in middle age.
