While i'm vaguely on the subject, can anyone help me, what is the name of those sort of 'sack' hats that Mr Marley and other rastas place their dreads in?
God i want dreadlocks...

I'm currently working on my dreadlocks. It's pretty easy to do actually, you just need lots of small elastic bands, a dread comb, and some dread wax. There's loads of sites on the net with easy to follow tutorials on what exactly to do, as well as plenty of sites (though mostly american) that sell dreading products.
And that hat is called a Tam or more incorrectly a "rasta hat". You can get Tams in the Rastafarian colours (red, yellow and green) from almost anywhere that sells Tams.
I'm also somewhat of a Marley fan, although there are a few tracks of his that turn me off a little. I think I prefer some of his more traditional Reggae tunes, the kind that inspired the whole dub movement. Hammond organs, twangy guitars, boomy far out bass rythems, etc. Butch Cassidy Sound System has done a few really ethereal dub tunes, and of course we mustn't forget, The Scientist! DJ Hype's popular alter-ego.
