As part of last year's 365 Days Project, there is this really interesting and weird bunch of Italian renditions of American classics (although I really hope those songs aren't remembered as the American canon down the road). Click the picture and look around on the project's site. The tracks are all free to download.

Ronnie Gaylord and Burt Bonaldie made up the singing duo of The Gaylords, a popular lounge pop act back in the 50's. Here is their American Hits, sung in Italian. In Yakety Yak, instead of "don't talk back" it's "shut upa you face" (long before the novelty number in the 70's).

If you're one who likes roasting breadfruit on an open fire this time of year, get ready for an X-Mas edition of When Roots Attack! tonight at the special time of 10:00 pm. I've pruned my reggae Christmas collection, leaving only the choicest nuggets of yardie Yuletide offerings, so come join me in filling the chalice with some good Ismas cheer tonight at 10:00.
