SHOPS ON 33 - Selected by Kanada 70
The actual cassette (w/ hand-written tracklist) will be available to be lent out from Double Double Land's library once it gets underway from June 2010 on, but the gist of it is that it's a walking audiotour of a few of my favourite record stores here in Toronto, soundtracked by vinyl finds bought from each of them (listening on the tape to what I at some point bought at the previous store visited while on the way to the next shop).
The itinerary is loosely timed to match up with walking times to each record store from the previously-visited one.
Here's the tracklist:
1) Go shopping at ROTATE THIS (songs to listen to on the way to Cosmos West):
General Strike - My Body
Spandau Ballet - To Cut A Long Story Short (Version on 33)
2) Go shopping at COSMOS WEST (songs to listen to on the way to She Said Boom!):
Garrett's Crew - Nasty Rock (Inst.)
The J.B.'s - Rock Groove Machine (on 33)
3) Go shopping at SHE SAID BOOM! (songs to listen to on the way to Around Again):
S.O.S. Band - Take Your Time (Do It Right)
Donald Byrd - Design A Nation
4) Go shopping at AROUND AGAIN (songs to listen to on the way to Play de Record):
Les McCann - Poo Pye McGoochie (And His Friends)
Thin Lizzy - Showdown
Paul Simon - Late In The Evening
Steve Hillage - Before The World Was Made (on 33)
5) Go shopping at PLAY DE RECORD (songs to listen to on the way to Yonge/Dundas, where you'll cry once the tape is done and the walk sign is on for all crossings):
Work It To The Bone - LNR
