Steely & Clevie's Dubbist, and man is it ever a disappointment. Steely & Clevie are a reggae/dub production duo who have been around for ages. One of them died about a decade ago. They're most famous for the update they did to Dawn Penn's Classic "No, No, No" in 1993. Now credit where credit is due, in all versions of "No, No, No" 90% of what makes the song work is Dawn's vocals. That said, the production Steely & Clevie did rises to the task and is, as the millennials say, infection AF. What I cannot understand is why their 2002 album is so BAD by comparison. They use cheesy "mid 80s Casio preset" synth tones that are like lukewarm Velveeta. The whole album is incredibly amateurish sounding, especially compared to what they did a decade prior.

I have no idea how to embed photos with links on the current version of HC. This is a warm up to a future, much larger post: Photo desc from Flickr:

Gah. I can't find my M42 to EOS adapter anywhere. As I continue to blow the dust off 15 years worth of photography equipment, I've now unearthed my not insubstantial collection of mid 20th century manual focus M42 lenses. I want to mount my E. Ludwig Meritar 50mm f/2.9 to my IR 5D. It's a quirky lens, and fantastically slow by the standards of 50mms. I've shot film through it, but never mounted it to a full frame DSLR. I actually have a bunch of M42/EOS adapters, but they're more or less permanently attached to my (as of, say, 2009) preferred lenses. The adapters are secured to the lens via a set screw, which is nontrivial to remove. The weather is perfect right now, and if I can't find the adapter I want, I may be forced to dig out a micro screwdriver. Also I have a bunch of photos to post here. Later.

Would not surprise me if this was a Head Caser.
