Whaddup all you beautiful peoples...
Ahhhh life...here's what it's been about lately: records, good wine, =
rustling leaves, mochacinnos (hot, not iced), bicycles, guys walking =
around without their shirts on (incites occasional shudder), more =
records, crickets at night, rye and ginger, outdoor shows, wacky movies, =
and even more records. Yup, summertime in the city still prevails =
*keeping the faith*, and BEST KEPT SECRET is still up on it! Keepin it =
hot like butter on popcorn .... =20
mmmmm....butter......
Tune it in every Wednesday 6-8 PM EST (yeah, tonight tonight, in a Phil =
Collins stylee!) to
CHRY 105.5 FM in Toronto
http://www.yorku.ca/chry for all you outta town peeps=20
Reeeeeeequest line: 416-736-5656
Last week the BEST KEPT gyals comprised of Dalia and myself (Venus) held =
our unofficial 8th Anniversary Show, banging out all the music that we =
loved over the years. The criteria for the 'choooon' moniker was based =
on what songs always prompt us to wax poetic over 'back in the day' on =
BEST KEPT. Not so surprisingly the playlist mostly leaned on the hip =
hop side of things, early to mid-nineties fashion, which we cite as our =
foundation music for alot of what we were exposed to (i.e. soul, =
'acid-jazz', etc.). Given that we had only 2 hours, that we had full =
stacks of wax, and we had surprise guests in the studio (big up Mister =
Richard Banton, always bringing the dubplate specials) we only cracked =
the surface...but here's a taste of what went on:=20
