BIG AUDIO DYNAMITE MAY REUNITE?

Last week, the Sony Legacy deluxe reissue of Big Audio Dynamite's debut album, This is Big Audio Dynamite, was one of the albums I talked about on The Morning Jolt With Larry Flick. I felt that, despite some dated production (drum machine sounds, some of the samples), it holds up really well.  They were ahead of their time. Now, one of the original members, Don Letts (who is also a filmmaker and DJ) tells Billboard that the band may reunite. Letts said that Mick Jones is involved with Gorillaz at the moment (I also discussed the new Gorillaz album this week, and mentioned that Mick Jones and Paul Simonon may be part of their touring band) but that he is considering doing something with B.A.D. in the future.

BAD BRAINS DOC: WATCH THE TRAILER

I wrote about the Bad Brains documentary last year, I just saw this trailer today, which features Ian MacKaye, Henry Rollins , Don Letts and Adam Yauch, among others. I won't claim that I was down since day one, but I started checking them out in the late '80s/early '90s. I can't say I loved them immeadiately, but they were a great band, and way more deserving of induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame than many Hall of Famers. Anyway, I am sure the film will be great, it was directed by Mandy Stein, the same woman who did the Johnny Ramone concert film/doc Too Tough To Die.
