William Onyeabor -- Who Is ...

  Who Is William Onyeabor acts like a best of from 77-85.  This Nigerian oddity is like a Funky version of Kraftwerk.  Little is known about the artist but it'd be even less if David Byrne weren't scouring the African countryside discovering what he can! 

Hip Club Groove -- Trailer Park Hip Hop

  Man I can't believe I never put two and two together.  I've been a huge Trailer Park Boys fan for years and knew Sloan had put out a Hip Hop album on Murderecords, pre-show, but never realized, until now, it was Cory Bowles from Cory and Trevor fame ... I mean c'mon a Halifax Rap group associated with Indie guys with an album called Trailer Park Hip Hop, "WHAT IN THE F*CK", how did I not know this?!?  At first glance I assumed it would be funny and sound like a joke but the music has a cool Beastie Boys edge with an element of humor, of course, but mixed with real talent and a funky groove!
