I don't think it's any big deal. *eats spoonful of curry*

I knew at least one other person had to have heard of them. They're amazing, and the song choices for "Great Expectation" are…not the cover choices you would expect from a bunch of septuagenarian Jamaican guys. Unless all old people are just cooler down there.

I haven't gotten the chance to listen to most of this year's music yet, so this is really tentative. In (very) rough order:
