LOOOOOOVE

I first heard Junior Delahaye from the Wackie's sampler. There's a photo of him on his album cover that looks very unassuming, like someone just stopped him in the hall at school and snapped a picture of him as he was on his way to the bathroom. I love that song on the Wackie's sampler and wanted to find more so I got a Junior Delahaye CD, seems to be simply titled "Reggae". Phil was in China for a few weeks, I was in the midst of a detox diet, and had just gotten my first ever colonic when I went to buy this CD. That day I was also to begin a top-to-bottom cleaning out of the apartment after spotting the umpteenth cockroach. I was cleaning out me insides and outsides!! Because it was summertime, there was a population boom of cockroaches everywhere and after spotting the third juvenile roach in the utensil drawer, I was like, THAT'S IT!!! I learned about non-toxic environmentally friendly roach-ridding methods by the friendly folks of West Harlem Environmental Action and was more than ready to put that knowledge to use. Anyhow, it being summertime, everyone has their windows open. The apartment across the alley from us blasts this horrible Christian-adult-contemporary-esque music for hours on end. I mean, it is so bad. But what's worse is she sometimes plays the same song on repeat. So I, in return, blast our music back when I'm feeling particularly sassy. The last few times I blasted back the Choubi Choubi-Music from Iraq CD and the Terry Riley - You No Good 15 minute endlessly looped what-the-fuck song that will drive anyone crazy. So this time, for day one of cockroach assault, I put in this Junior Delahaye CD, blasted it, and just about melted into a puddle with this first song Love. Enjoy.
