Imperialism didn't end. These days it's known as...
….. The bid for power, oil and spheres of influence that Bush and Blair launched in Mesopotamia, using the traditional camouflage of the civilising mission; the colonial war still being fought in Afghanistan, 199 years after the Great Game began; the global policing functions the great powers have arrogated to themselves; the one-sided justice dispensed by international law.

Interview: Spector
LT: So I guess when Spector was formed you guys were already pretty experienced considering Les Incompetents and Ox. Eagle. Lion. Man?
Fred: We’ve all had musical experience; everyone had been in a band on and off. We were more experienced in playing in bands than playing instruments. We were just all young people who knew that the most important thing about being in a band was saying you were in a band, and the songs....

Film Review: Marley
‘All talent in Jamaica comes from Trench Town’, Bob Marley.
