Live DJ Mix: DJ Chorizo Funk - Chorizo Chunks 13 (opening set for J Boogie)
Another Cratery mix by Arcee, Kaewonder and DJ Serious:
I found Syd and the Troubadors’ Positively Spicy album at a local record show earlier this year. Cardova is a nice slice of West Indian funk that also happens to be a take on a Meters’ classic. The nerd in me will always be drawn to the novelty of finding an odd cover of a familiar song. But the truth is, the Meters original bangs way harder. Without question. That doesn’t mean ol’ Syd and his homies aren’t worthy of a Cratery appearance though. Enrique Lynch’s cover of Ballinjack’s Found a child is a DJ Serious selection that sounds like it grew up in a shrine in Peru © Jay Electronica. Surface level research (read: Google) suggests Lynch was a bandleader – like a Peruvian James Last, but way funkier with far better song selection. Which pretty much kills any similarity to James Last. And we’re pretty sure no one’s ever covered Thierry Fervant’s Samba pour Fernande, since it’s a random song off a French Soundtrack with a really long title on Gamma records. This Kaewonder pick does remind us that we’re long overdue for another Cratery OST episode. But not before we dip into our respective tiny record stashes for our annual all-45 hour (Cratery 45 – see what we did there?). Hey. Back to the lecture at hand. Cratery 44 fools. Stream or download below.
MILDLY INTERESTING CRATERY FACTOID: The store featured in this episode’s artwork is Volume Records in Toronto. And the dude in the v-neck is Mr. Attic of Da Grassroots. I believe this actual evidence of him buying records in 2012. Which is surprising. Considering he has everything already. Probably just minting up on his Miles Davis discography. That Pee, he’s a crafty one.
CRATERY #44 PLAY LIST:
01. Luis Bacalov – Motorcycle Circus
02. Thierry Fervant – Samba pour Fernande
03. Oneness of Juju – Poo Too
04. Syd Jones and the Troubadours – Cardova
05. Lazarus – Faces of tomorrow
06. White Elephant – Peace of Mind
07. Syreeta – Tiki Tiki Donga
08. Roy Ayers – Fire Weaver

Spike Lee Fired From James Brown Movie as White Director of The Help Takes Over
No words….
Spike Lee will no longer be the writer and director of the highly anticipated James Brown bio-pic. The famed director was fired by producer Brian Grazer who originally hired Lee for the film shortly after Brown’s death in 2006.
Eddie Murphy, who was cast by Lee to play Brown, once told BlackTree TV that the script was a “great, great piece.”
However, Glazer decided to fire Lee and hired Tate Taylor. Taylor was the director of the film The Help.
Although the movie was critically-acclaimed, it lacked in story structure and failed to give a complete view of black life during that era. Essentially, it was a black story told from a white person’s point of view.
Before The Help, Tate only directed the lackluster film Pretty Ugly People.

[DJ mix] Arcee, Kaewonder, & Dj Serious present Cratery #43
Spotted on the homie, Arcee’s twitter feed:
The Canadian content on Cratery is at an all-time high. Could be the influence of our bi-coastal brethren Sipreano and Birdapres. It could be a desire to snatch up that local sh*t for trade leverage. Or an overwhelming source of national pride (It’s probably not the last one). The CANCON on this month’s episode arrives courtesy of 3 tripped out artists from Quebec: Guy Rheaume, Sex and Les Champignons [ed note: I don’t see Les Champignons in the track list below]. So much incredible music was recorded in Quebec in the 60’s and 70’s. Sadly, much of it remains unknown. We do venture outside of La Belle Province with selections like Irene Kral’s “Wheelers and Dealers”, a recent vocal jazz discovery I found in a local spot for $6. Kaewonder reminds us not to sleep on the Carla Thomas catalog (as does Madlib) and DJ Serious unearths a randomly alternate version of George Benson’s “The Changing World” (without the ‘I used to love H.E.R. sample). Cratery 43, bitches. Stream it or download below.
I love the fact that there’s a skip at the end of the Johnny Trouble record (real vinyl, yeah!) and “2,4,6,8”, one of my favorite songs from my favorite album of all time, is in this mix.
TRACKLIST:
1. Irene Kral – Wheelers and dealers
2. Guy Rheaume – Ca Tourne
3. Tim Maia – Joao Coragem
4. Premiere Capsule – Folies du Mercredi
5. Sex – Born to love
6. Ahmad Jamal – Patterns
7. Gary Burton – Vibrafinger
8. Twelve Top Hits – Chicago
9. Johnny Trouble – Turns me on
10. Bobby Wilson – Don’t shut me out
11. Carla Thomas – I’ve fallen in love with you
12. O Donel Levy – I wanna be where you are
13. Jackson 5 – 2-4-6-8
14. Bobbie Huston – I want to make it with you
15. George Benson – The Changing World
