Jah Division
"Heart and Soul Dub"
Dub Will Tear Us Apart 12-Inch EP
(The Social Registry, 2004)

No, silly, not the tip-o-yer-tongue Russian-Cuban Rasta reggae band Jah Division! This is a Williamsburg quartet featuring a bunch of pasty dudes from indie-rock bands---Brad Truax (Home, Broke Revuew), Barry London (Knoxville Girls), Kid Millions (Oneida) & Chris Millstein (Home)---having a bit of a goof, though it actually works really well. (Kinda like that Dub Side of the Moon project.)

Buy this limited 12-inch (800 copies) from Tone Vendor, Forced Exposure or direct from Social Registry.

Because I don't have a photo of Jah Division, and because I couldn't fire up the Photoshop in time to make a disturbing collage of Ian Curtis and Haile Selassie, the photo up there is of my Kingston Krew, Mike & Mike, getting down to "Hoochie Coochie Man" at the recent Air Jamaica Jazz & Blues Festival (which, for the most part, featured neither jazz nor blues, though Lou Rawls and Dionne Warwick were in fine form; lotsa purple and sequins).
