When the three sevens clash

I was going to let the 30th anniversary of the reggae apocalypse pass without remark, but was riding a bus this afternoon and had a vision of 7 July 2007 -- when three sevens clash, even -- as a day of judgement when past injustices would be avenged, and when Laurie Alexander would pay me the $4.50 I lent him for a mince pie, two packets of wine gums, and a raspberry bun from the school tuck shop twenty years ago.

A nice -- and nicely concise -- article about the reggae apocalypse -- and about those heady days of punk and reggae mashup streetstylez 1977 -- is here.
