Now, where ganja comes in is that "Pass the Dutchie" is actually an inferior, sanitized-for-public-consumption of the Mighty Diamonds song "Pass the Cutchie." A cutchie, or chalice, is the ceremonial pipe used by Rastas for smoking ganja.

Housemartins were good. A few from the band went on to form The Beautiful South, an excellent group. The Cure and The The were another two greats from the eighties.

I think I'd heard of them before, though, just never knew their music. I'm a huge fan of The Housemartins, though, and I don't think anyone in the US knows them. Ditto XTC, with the exception of "Making Plans for Nigel" and "Senses Working Overtime".Lizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15609930323114894886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13482317.post-2913017610005088842006-12-20T16:54:00.000+02:002006-12-20T16:54:00.000+02:00Yep, vividly.
