Redda Fire is all about reggae you can move to. The Thursday night weekly at The Living Room has earned its very loyal crowd over the last year-and-a-half with a deep embrace of dancehall and the deep crates of turntablists 45Revolver, Liloa, Zacharijah and Sovern-T. Stop by tonight for the usual mix of sweet tunes, $3 Jamaican Red Stripe, beer and rum and Coke specials and tasty West Indian eats from Chef Caswell. $7 gets you in starting at 11 p.m. The dance doesn't end until 4 a.m. More info at www.myspace.com/reddafire.

FINAL WORD

"I went to see Def Leppard and Bryan Adams and George Jones and Conway Twitty the same year — and I liked them in different ways. ... I remember thinking ... if I were ever going to get up there onstage, I'd want to be more like Def Leppard with all that production."
