That's me on the left with my guys D.A. from Chester French and M.anifest after the Chester French/Lady Gaga concert last night (3/23) in Minneapolis. Baraka and Max Drummey are also featured in the second part. Good times last night, all the members of the band and family were real cool, can't wait for the album.

Milwaukee Record Finds: The Lost Generation LP

The Lost Generation: Young, Tough and Terrible

One of the best things about record digging is that you always seem to make the best finds when you least expect it.  A quick trip to the record store yesterday yielded a few nice finds, but the gem of the group was this Lost Generation LP, a tough-to-find soul LP produced by Eugene Record, of Chi-Lites fame. Heard about this group from the Soulman Mixtape, "Coolin'" which included the joint "This is The Lost Generation", which is the real burner on the album, plus the instrumental is included which is real nice for beat-making purposes...
