MUSIC

Trojan Records

Best damn label for music, period.

Heartbeat Records

Another great long-time producer of jamaican music.

Deep Discount CDs

absolutely awesome site for those of you not wanting to pay UK shipping rates..Or US shipping rates. Shipping is absolutely free and the selection is more than you could ask for.

Stubborn Records

label run by Jeff Baker, AKA King Django. Great site for the more unusual up-and-coming bands, also features bands from Europe such as JAZZBO.

Lawless Street

these guys are like workhorses! Ian and I are also trying to collaborate some stuff for the future... Go out there and support this great, young label!

Copasetic

Want some good, non-US music? This is the spot. Copasetic has a great range of basically unheard of bands that you can choose from. They also carry original presses from Jamaica, zines, cds, vinyl..you name it!

Big Up Radio

Online radio station and store as well! Huge selection of CDs, LP's, EP's, casettes..Pretty decently priced as well.

Scratch Radio

Another online radio station with limited same-time listeners, so when you get on, stay on! Whomever runs this site has a lot of good music, but if you listen to it a lot, you hear a lot of repeats. Good station though, I prefer it over Big Up's.

Ernie B's Reggae

Best place to buy reggae on the net! Pretty much anything you want can be found on here, if you're constantly checking and willing to spend.

The Alpha Boys School

School that helped launch many of the most notable Jamaican horn players during its time. Although the site doesn't have much content, you can buy items which the proceeds go to the school, donate money, and take a look on how the school is today. Also, you can purchase the CD, "Come dance with me" by the current Alpha Boys School Band.

MUSIC INFORMATION

Burnin' Vernon's page

good site with a lot of information on the beginings of popular Jamaican music.

Rude Roots

TONS of information and links, wonderful site.

Dance Crasher

I really love this site, I think its probably the only one of its kind that I've found to be helpful. Lots of pictures of original Jamaican records. Good as a reference source.

BBC's I Love Jamaica

Portion of the BBC's website dedicated to their love affair with Jamaica. Includes a clip from the documentary "this is ska".

Do The Dog

Ska zine that's been in publication for years! subscribe!

Boss Sounds

this site is ESSENTIAL to hearing the changes in jamaican music. bits of history, and VERY well done.

CLOTHING

Ben Sherman USA

I love ben sherman's clothing. Fits extremely well, very comfortable and goes well with just about anything.

At Merc

Merc just started making women's clothing again! However, the selection is limited. Its still predominately men's, still.

Jump The Gun

Another site for the boys. Good rare stuff, kinda pricey.

This Way Clothing

Really neat site with tons of clothing. I'm not sure if they ship overseas, but it makes me wish I lived in Stockholm!

99x

Place in NYC. The site doesn't cover even a quarter of what they have. If you're ever there, check this place out.

Strictly Urban

Official US carriers of Lonsdale of London.

Thistleboy

Not a lot of stuff for the girls, but a pretty neat site as it is.

Loehmann's

If you like fred perry and ben sherman, make sure to check out this store! Freds and Bens up to 75% off retail price!

Young Soul Rebels

Interesting clothing/music site that is based in Japan. I don't think they ship outside of Japan, but its interesting to see what is popular there as far as clothing and music goes. I think my favorite thing on the site is the Jerry Dammers shirt!!

Warrior Clothing

UK-based clothing site that DOES ship internationally! Great selection, especially for the girls, and prices don't exactly hurt your wallet either! I've featured a shirt of theirs in the ladies clothing section. They're also very prompt with shipping and communication as well!
