Treble Charger - 10th Grade Love

I stumbled across this video while browsing youtube. For me, this song is all about a time and place from what seems forever ago. It's one of of my favourite songs of that era of my life. I've always thought that Treble Charger lost there way once they joined a major label.

Friday Cheese: Slik Toxik - Helluvatime

In the early 90's, right before Nirvana dropped, there was a time that hair rock ruled the radio. In Toronto, CHOG was on the air and all the major labels were still selling the next Sebastian Bach.. A number of bands from Canada came out, notably Slik Toxic and Sven Gali. Both hand a very fast rid to fame, and then crashed into never-neverland shortly after the Nirvana revolution. Today's feature is "Helluvatime", a wonderfully cheesy glam track .

The members of Slik toxic, are not involved in other projects. Notably, as of 2009 lead singer Nick Walsh is now in the band Revolver. While there albums appear out of print, Spotlight Music posted links to download.

"PARANOID" Kanye Featuring Rihanna

from nabil elderkin on Vimeo.

Whether you love or hate Kayne it's hard to disgree that the Paranoid video again proves that he is willing to take creative risks. From the tracks heavy synth beats to crazy sexy, stylish video Kayne continues to push hip hop into new and more creative directions. I can only hope the next generation of young hip hop artists take inspiration from Kayne by creating more innovative and original material.
