Remembering Joel Thomas-JAMKAM SOUND


What more is there to say about Joel that hasn't been said in these beautiful posts on social media?   

My dancehall mentors, Dancin' Squad and Skerrit Bwoy, introduced me to you almost 20 years ago; I think the first time was Nasty Tuesdays at the Elite Ark.

You, Mitty, and the dancers that followed you were Brooklyn Dancehall to me.   

I loved how you played and would follow you for years.  That would span the boroughs-Bronx, Long Island, Manhattan, and Queens.   I think even Connecticut and New Jersey.   Didn't we all take a road trip to Baltimore or DC?   I forget.   You were a very pro-dancer DJ, especially for the ladies.

You would shout me out while dancing at parties where I had no business being alongside some of the most talented people I'd ever seen on the dancefloor.

I haven't been to a party you played for some time now, and many of us knew of your health issues.

No more suffering; I'll see you down the road at the All White party up in Heaven, where I hope you will be one of the many great DJs playing dope tunes while our family, friends, and acquaintances dance, the time away.

I appreciate your kindness, displaying your talent, and entertaining so many of us.   I am lucky to have experienced that.

Thank you.

Fantastic Four: First Steps-Out of the Theater Quick Review

Jason and I give our quick review of  Fantastic Four: First Steps.  We both gave it a  rating of 7.9/10 . We praise the movie’s stunning production design, visuals (especially Galactus and The Thing), and soundtrack. Pedro Pascal stood out as Reed Richards, and the Silver Surfer was a highlight. While the film lacked some character depth and suspense, we still considered it the best Marvel movie of the year so far — surpassing  Brave New World  and  Thunderbolts. There were  two post-credit scenes: one worthwhile, one forgettable. Here's our out of the theater review A longer podcast spoiler review is coming soon.

Weapons Movie Review-Was it better than Barbarian?

YouTube Video Weapons   by Zach Cregger was a solid horror film, especially for fans of face mutilation and suspense. While the twist didn’t fully land for me, the movie picked up after a slow start and became quite engaging. I really enjoyed the eerie electronic score during tense moments and thought the cast was strong—The characters and actors playing Gladys and Alex were standout performances. The multi-perspective storytelling around 17 missing kids added depth, and I liked how it wrapped up. Not as strong as   Barbarian , but still a very good film—I'd give it a 7.5 out of 10.
