The infectious 'live-party' sound of Bonds' Legrand record sets the pace for Bear Family's sequel to 'School House Rock Vol. 1 - School Is In!' (BCD17668). Ahh, school days. Arduous! Ambivalent! Sweet reminiscing and painful memories! During the 1950s, a new target species was developed - or busted down doors and demanded recognition after centuries of neglect the teenager. They seemed to rule their little universe. One central gathering point to control them, study them, bully them, or try to coax them into usable directions was school. And school is where it all happens - boy meets girl; pimples cause nervous breakdowns; you can't keep twitching due to itching; and you look for your place in life, your little self, your big dreams. School. Bear Family Records® - again - honors the most important timespan in all our lives with this second volume of high school songs. This new compilation not only complements 'School House Rock Vol. 1 - School Is In!'

Until recently, the richness and vibrancy of Toronto's Latin scene was enjoyed almost exclusively by the city's dancers, musicians and world music fans. But as Lula Lounge celebrates it's tenth anniversary, local artists are ready to burst onto the international stage. Toronto's unique brand of multiculturalism combined with the immense experi- ence and the sheer talent of the musicians have contributed to the Toronto salsa scene evolving into one of the most electrifying and vital anywhere. Waves of immigration to Canada from the Caribbean and Latin America have brought corresponding swells in salsa music production. From the pioneers of the Toronto Latin music revolution Jane Bunnett, Luis Mario Ochoa and Hilario Duran, to artists such as Caché and Luisito Orbegoso, to today's most popular musical visionaries Telmary, Yani Borrell, Jorge Maza, Roberto Linares Brown and Latin Grammy-winner Alex Cuba (formerly of the Puentes Brothers), this CD brings together dancers' favourites with rare tracks to provide a snapshot of a city making musical history. Live music venue Lula Lounge and it's presenting partner Lula Music and Arts Centre is dedicated to supporting salsa and Latin jazz as well as Brazilian, African and all kinds of world music. A rarity in North America, with a decade-long history of presenting ten to twelve piece ensembles every week of the year, Lula Lounge has become salsa's home in Canada. Fostering new and established groups, Lula.

The forthcoming ninth edition of the popular compilation series featuring long-lost vintage '60s-'70s proto-metal and stoner rock singles, Brown Acid - The Ninth Trip is set for ! Some of the best thrills of the Internet music revolution are the ability to find extremely rare music with great ease. But even with such vast archives to draw from, quite a lot of great songs have gone undiscovered for nearly half a century-particularly in genres that lacked hifalutin arty pretense. Previously, only the most extremely dedicated and passionate record collectors had the stamina and prowess to hunt down long forgotten wonders in dusty record bins-often hoarding them in private collections, or selling at ridiculous collector's prices. Legendary compilations like Nuggets, Pebbles, ad nauseum, have exhausted the mines of early garage rock and proto-punk, keeping alive a large cross-section of underground ephemera. However, few have delved into and expertly archived the wealth of proto-metal, pre-stoner rock tracks collected on Brown Acid.InchWill do for hard rock, proto-metal and heavy psych what Nuggets did for garage rock, and bring it to a wider audience of collectors and music fans.Inch -The Guardian InchSo rare that diehard fuzz junkies say you'd have a better chance of winning the lottery than finding a physical 45 RPM single by one of the bands featured on their latest installment.Inch -Dangerous Minds
