The funk just oozes from my pours. With that said it should not come as a surprise that I see a lot of Toronto’s best dancers at my jams. Some of these kids (well i guess they aren’t kids anymore) go by the crew name of Albino Zebrah. This London ON. born crew has for the most part relocated to Toronto and are celebrating their 13th B-Day. So lets all wish them a great 13 years in this hiphop life!

It goes down starting at 3pm on Saturday August 14th 2010 at the John Innes Community Center – 150 Sherbourne St.

I will throwing down for the battles along with some great talent

This ain’t worth more than a dollar… just kidding.

I spent a lot of my formative years digging in MTL.  Back when it seemed like on every random street, you would find a record store that would pop up and then disappear within months,  me and the crew would easily come up on Lee Gagnons, Sloches, Ian Carrs, and Ekambi Brillants.  I wouldnt consider this to be a great record by an stretch of the word, but it does have a few moments here and there… and of course… DRUMS.

Excellent Psych-ish/Soul tune on this obscure rock album.  Its kinda hard to find and sort of sought after because some of the dudes from Kiss sang backup vocals on it. Back in the day, these were pretty easy to come across, as for the most part, it looks like a pop vocal record. I found 2 of these at one of my favourite record stores in Calgary. Yep, I was pretty happy. Traded one of them for some 45 that i was desperate for and this is the other.

Lyn is still working on music but, it doesn’t really strike the same chord as her cult classic “Take Me With You”…

The  Charmels.  I’ve been told that this is one of the Volt Labels rarest 45s,  not sure how true this is, since it keeps popping up on eBay…  Having said that it does go for some hefty loot.  Never the less, I can’t help but to feel proud flossing this beat to shit 99cent find.    I’ll let the music speak for itself,  I doubt you will need me to explain any further.

The art work on this LP makes Sylvia seem so messed up.  Some good soul tunes though.

This particular song is from their debut album entitled “So I Can Love You” and happens to be the source material for 3rd Bass’ “Gas Face” and Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s “Shimmy Shimmy Ya”  Check it out.
