Show Notes
The good folks at MAGMA reached out to us about collaborating on a mix for their up coming Fall/Winter pop-up shop this weekend. Naturally, we had no choice but to submit to the laws of mutual dopeness and agree. Since MAGMA plans on previewing some new wears, we thought we’d hit you with a little preview of our own. A taste of a new Cratery segment we’ll be starting in the new year, dedicated to spotlighting cover versions of familiar tunes. If MAGMA’s reissue program is all about reworking garments, this Cratery episode is all about reworking classics. Look out for VERSION coming soon to Cratery.com. And come out this weekend and get covered in MAGMA. Mascot Café. 1267 Queen Street West. If you’re on this site, chances are you have relatively dope taste in music. So don’t have shitty taste in clothes.

I first met Mr. Attic at York University’s 105.5 FM in ’95. It was my first year attending York and my favourite pastime had quickly become loitering around the campus/community radio station before, between and after classes. One of my favourite shows was called “Soul by the Pound” – a program dedicated to playing the soul, jazz, funk and rock songs that inspired the hip-hop songs of the era. Show creator Jeremy “Beatdawg” Weisfeld would blow my mind every week with source material for my favourite Pete Rock, Tribe and Large Professor songs with a level of insider knowledge I hadn’t encountered up until that point. It wasn’t long before pestering Jeremy on the phone every 5 mins for song titles turned into hanging out at the station and pestering him in person.
David Axelrod would have probably scoffed at this tribute.
One of the simple pleasures of being a rap fan is the passionate level of debate and analysis you can engage in with a fellow nerd at any given moment around any given album – old or new.
It’s funny to think I wouldn’t be typing these words right now if Kaewonder hadn’t asked me the question “Do you follow that dude @mastersihn on Instagram”?
