Eric Mercury (Electric Blackman)

It's funky and soulful and its from Toronto, another Canadian soul classic.

Golden Boys (Plainsman's lament)

On Plainsman's lament off The Golden Boys pull of that Lou Reed cool that so many bands these days try to ape but fail miserably to channel.

The Sadies Featuring the Mighty Pope

This is a Christmas tune and I'm well aware it ain't December but I'm going to post it anyways. Too bad this collaboration didn't stick. I would really love to see the Sadies try their hand at some more soul and R and B, they did a pretty admirable job on this festive staple. As for the Mighty Pope, he's in fine form, and despite his age puts on a hell of a vocal performance. Whoah, I just used the words hell and Christmas in the same paragraph, which pretty much sums up what that time of the year is to a lot of people, fitting!
