b'This is the first episode of I Don\\u2019t Like Reggae, I Love It, a special audio series I\\u2019m doing on the historical origins and impact of cod reggae on popular music. The series will explore the socio-political cultural and racial implications of cod reggae's development. The series title is taken from the 10CC song \\u201cDreadlock Holiday\\u201d which is one of the more controversial cod reggae songs that I\\u2019ll look into.\\xa0As reggae became part of the musical landscape, more established white rock and new wave artists began to experiment with it. Soon direct musical influences \\u2013 like dub effects, reggae styled guitar and keyboard rhythms and missing drum beats and side stick also began to find their way into popular music.\\xa0As more non-reggae artists began to appropriate the sound of reggae and white audiences responded, this new \\u201cregatta de blanc\\u201d as The Police called their second album, received a less than flattering name \\u2013 cod reggae. It\\u2019s a harsh but efficient way of describing reggae music reconfigured for a mass audience.
