There is wickedness in Babylon

Computer programming, for those who have noticed, is excruciatingly dull. To do it for any length of time often requires mind games and distractions. Myself, I listen to dub reggae. Dub is mainly remixed versions of well know tracks with the emphasis on the bass and drums.

So, being kind of ambient music, dub allows Johnny programmer to concentrate on the task at hand. The best bit is that occasionally there is the odd smattering of vocals from the original track. This is handy, as it gives you the opportunity to join in and alarm your work colleagues.

My particular favourites are: "There is wickedness in Babylon!" and "rastafari ALMIGHTY GOD!".

For those keen to experiment with the benefits of dub, I can heartily recommend Augustus Pablo and the mighty King Tubby

In fine style. Ahem
