I managed to catch Mos Def playing in Ann Arbor the other night. His show was on MLK Day and was dedicated to the memory of J Dilla, the slain Detroit producer. I’ve got to say it was a really interesting style of show. For those of you who’ve ever been to the Hill Auditorium […]
ATCQ
Dear god, Nothing else in life will compare to what I witnessed on Sunday, Sept 17, 2006. That’s the date my life was completed. I no longer have anything to achieve because I managed to see A Tribe Called Quest in concert. That’s right. Tribe. They’ve been broken up for 10 years. They’re old, not […]
Jurassic 5
Possibly one of the greatest shows I have ever seen. They played at the Reverb, a tiny venue in Toronto. It was such a close, personal show, everyone was having a blast. They went through a ton of their hits (everything from Jayou to Quality Control) and even went into some stuff off their new […]
Bonita Applebum
A Tribe Called Quest’s Greatest Song They will be in Toronto on September 17. It will be the best day ever.
Vinyl Shopping
In my relentless quest to find music in Montreal, I’ve visited a ton of record stores of various kind. Mont Royal East has a series of used ones, and some of them are pretty decent, so here’s a quick review: Le Pick Up 262 AVENUE DU MONT-ROYAL EST – (514) 849-9484 This place is pretty […]
Backroom Records
During the summer, 4080 seems to be on a bit of a hiatus. We’re all over the place trying to get things done, and I’m spending some time in Montreal. A friend of mine here got a flyer for the grand opening of a record store at some show, so we decided to go check […]
Day 18 – The First Blog
So the first blog on 4080records.com is up. It’s mine, so don’t expect much more than random rants about music and maybe some occasional commie outbursts of misdirected anger. All I can promise is that it will be the single greatest thing you’ve ever read: http://blogs.4080records.com/addverse/. – B
Day 2 – God is a DJ
Possibly the SICKEST video I have ever seen. I must share it with you. Today has been yet another challenge. It’s far too hard to put two good things together, it seems, and I just couldn’t figure out how to integrate this blog with the online store. I guess “security” wouldn’t let the store read […]
Day 1
Welcome, all. 4080Records.com is starting to finally take shape. I thought it’d be interesting if we chronicle our journey to launching this online music paradise. My partners and I have been working away at trying to get this idea off the ground for some years now (actually many years), but we’re finally taking the right […]
