questions you are dying to ask but are too scared to b/c of music nerd cred?

There is quiet broad meaning for sure - cos a rinse-out has to be a good thing surely.

one of my favourite things

 

[elgato]

sure, "holler with the rinsing sound"

rinsed used in that context is not my thing. good thing about slang isnt it, that it is generally made up and interchangable within meaning...good to change up a few letters while your at it, REnSKed it! Ransked it!! Ronsked it, create your own sound type of thing.. 'was all good until that ratty sketty doggy sket bitch came in and started rensking it out?'

maybe this is reading far too much into it, but i thought it was some sort of prometheus reference - like he's being tortured, persecuted, that sort of thing

big tune!

hmm yeah, that fits with the mood of the song better than the other suggestions.. particularly the stuff about the police and his bday bash (see the heatwave blog..)

gabriel to thread!

haha, i wouldn't want you to be on the bus, hearing some guys talking about they're gonna rinse that guys pockets and have you thinking you've got somthing good to look forward to.it could happen to anyone.

Along with cheese, beer and sunshine one of the greatest things life has to offer.

i'm pretty sure 'the rock' = jamaica, the island, the rock in the sea etc

but it's probably metaphorical as well as in you can find me on the corner / on road etc

one away clothes would be something that was made especially for you as a one off by a designer, same as a one away dubplate/special is something that only you've got, not off the peg/pressed up on vinyl for everyone else to buy. or a tune like busy signal's jail or elephant man's pon de river, where the producer has made an instrumental specifically for one artist to record on rather than a riddim for everyone to jump on, that's a one away production as well

What is a DCM remix?

 

[zhao]

something i've always wondered:

why in the WORLD would a self respecting, serious (not a comedian), deejay/singer/rapper/vocalist/artist call himself:

?????????????????

 

[john eden]

why is mavado so eager for his enemies to know that he's on the rock? also, are we talking the rock of gibraltar, former wrestler 'the rock', or something else altogether?

i effing love that tune btw, i just have no idea what the narrative is about.

Bit late on this, but it is a biblical reference.

 

[Client Eastwood]

what is the difference between a steppers and a rockers rydim ?

 

[DannyL]

A few Rocksteady tunes reference this idea as well - "Run to the Rock" by The Righteous Flames being the only one I can think of right now.

steppers= 4 bass kicks to the bar (4x4 techno/house style)
rockers= minimal 'one drop' style, developed by style scott iirc

[Chris AC]

At the beginning of "Timeless", the singer goes "time-less" in a really drawn-out way. That's stretched digitally, isn't it?

Yeah I always assumed it was a timestretch thing in tribute to all the great timestretches in jungle.

 

[nomos]

what exactly does it mean when something is described as "weedy"-sounding?

As opposed to the really serious Deejay names like Mr. Pants, Busy Signal, Pinchers, Snagga Puss, Nikey Fungus, Professor Nuts, Smiley Culture, Mr. Chicken, Eek-a-Mouse, Fathead and Goofy?

point taken. and i was aware of it before you made it with all the contenders out there for silliest alias... and i of course love it, the humour and not taking too seriously of the self, but you have to admit Egg Nog really takes it to another level don't it. Jamaican ODB by the name of Unicorn is pretty awesome too.

Yeah big up! It was worth asking - that's interesting.
