Jamaican Folklore: How the Fish Goda-me Got a Name

Eve — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 17:55:20 +0000

It’s been too long since I told you all any stories now don’t it. Being from deep Westmoreland in a time before cell phones, Internet and cable, going to the river use to be a really big part of my life. River for me was usually Cabaritta, which is the largest river in the parish and rises near Cascade in Hanover. I remember my Gran-Uncle and brother sometimes catching this really weird fish called Goda-me/Godami/Gadami (however you spell it), which my Great-Gran would then make really sweet rundown out of. Why I say it is a strange fish is it can live out of water for several hours, even days, if kept in a cool damp place I guess its some sort of lung fish but I really only know it as Goda-me/Godami/Gadami so if you know it by any other name please drop me a line.
Ok yu chat too much Eve tell me the story now.

Once up on a time the Creator was in the process of naming all the animals in the world. As you can imagine this went on for some time and it was a very big task to come up with really good names. Eventually names like Aye-Aye and Frigate bird can give a glimpse into the Creator Sprit’s disposition. Much time passed (this was before hours were invented) and finally the Creator was done, sighed and melted in a chair due to the sheer exhaustion of the completed task. Then out of nowhere came a small almost frightened voice it said,
Gad?

So God jump up now and bawl out.
A who dat? A who leff?

This little fish walk out of the shadows, still a bit frightened and with really big Puss in Boots eyes says, Gaddami….

Jack Mandora mi nuh choose none.

‘Sup?

It’s only one left after this one. And I was like: why not having a last guestmix, to grow the excitement about the very very last TTT next week? And the only one who deserved to be the last special guest down here was Berlin’s Marflix One: Soca label owner, Urban Bass nerd, mine and Danny Scrilla’s DJ Godfather and the most trustful rum expert around. So today’s mix is all about new and old small island vibes, remixes made with a carnival mind and rum.

He wrote on his mix: “A podcast series full of niceness and inspiration is coming to an end. Next week will be the final blast… so it’s time to celebrate! As we getting ready we have a nice lime with some heavy carnival bass and bacchanal vibes. Percussive iron, bottle’n'spoon riddims from Trinidad and Indian Dhol drums clashing with the bass of Samba’s surdo drum. So Tim Turbo, whe de party at? I have some cool drinks for you ready!”

High Five Dog Pound!

Folks, I’m so not the autumn kind of guy. When dawn touches the streets early and temperatures goes dung low like a hooker, I’m always getting sentimental and moody. Thats why today’s mix starts with a La Roux remix and smooth bubbling Funky House from Julio Bashmore. But I braced myself in the moment Wildlife sent me over his brand new tune (coming soon, with Remixes by Mixhell, Beware & Motorpitch, Schlachthofbronx & Edu K) to play it exclusively for you. On top, I got another exclusive tune of Man Recording’s KU BO Remix EP for you, plus a lot of crossgenresque beats, rhythms and melodies prepared to blow your horizon as always.

Zip up the gang jackets and the take a walk on the autumn side with this mix in your iPod. Gang sign!

Yes yes ya’ll.

Wow, we are slowly reaching the endz of the show, just three to go after this one. But today I did another mix of pure Ghetto Bassery for you and yours, including a dancefloor destroying new L-Vis 1990 tune, a more or less new DJ Beware & Motorpitch remix, my personal producer of the year, Douster, some of the latest chartbreakin’ hits properly remixed and a Flore remix taken off the upcoming “KU BO Remix EP” by Man Recordings. Special: This week’s last 20 minutes are earmarked for the UK MCs and Grime beats. I just felt like I haven’t played enough of that stuff for some time.

Lace up, we are reaching the home stretch. Let’s dance over the finish line!

Pow!

Todays TTT may be the most cheesy one ever. It may be the mix with the most remixes of Pop songs and it may be chum up with the girls in the most corny way ever, but I love it. After all that badman mixes and heavy banging electro journeys it’s something that I wanted to do. The middle part of the mix is still bad by the way.

I’m also reppin’ some of my favourite upcoming producers of these days: Douster with two great skanking new tunes, So Shifty with two tunes (e.g. their great Ska remix of “Keep It Going Louder”) and me, Tim Turbo with two new remixes. The Wax Motif tune will be released on Big’N'Hairy in November and the Daniel Haaksman remix will be up for free on seen. on Saturday.

Thugs, get a girl, this mix is for my gyalists! Ghettochicks, lipgloss and pronails are expected, this mix is for my rudegirls with heart!

Oi,

What a frankensteined monster of Dubstep, Bassline and Electro, that Anna buzzed last week! Probably the most heavy mix on Tim Turbo Thursday ever. That’s why my mix today starts nice and easy with some Dancehall and Trancehall in return, then goes deep with dreamy Dubstep and things and just when you think what a chilly TTT it was this week, Danny Scrilla steps in the place with flamboyance and esprit and blows you away with his brand new exclusiv remix of Crookers’ terminator tune “Il Cattivo”! Straight stupidness…

You lucky gangster buddys also will be able to freeload that dancefloor destroying tank by Danny tomorrow right here on seen. and learn something about Danny’s upcoming second trip to the U.S. by the way.

Waddup, boyz’n'girlz?

Like it was for the first 22 issues of TTT way back then, the message is love again today: Anna Love! The beautiful Dubstep rudegyal princess represents Austin, TX, holds it down with the great Broken Teeth Crew and is freshly signed to Shift Recordings, which equals big bass, big parties, and a big three week tour planned for January 2010, because everything is bigger in Texas. And all you promoters in Germany, Anna is around in December, get that girl booked!

Enjoy the mix, folks, don’t mess with Anna Love, this girl got massive bass swagger. Pow!

Ye ye yeah!

It’s time for Tim Turbo Thursday, it’s time for 8-bit-lo-fi Reggaeton, it’s time for Meneo on the guest mix! Synths chattering like saws, dem-bowing beats and Spanish vocal samples – that´s how they crash the party bus today. Note: it may look like the mix is a bit too short, but first: there are only their own productions on this exclusive mix, and second: 15 minutes is the perfect length for a mix like that. 15 minutes of in-your-face polygon dance music. That´s what it is!

Next week it’s on me again, but I got some more great guests scheduled for the last days of Tim Turbo Thursday. Watch out and feed your zumbie unicorn.
