Montreal shops

I'm heading up to Montreal this weekend with Lewis to check out the Anarchist book fair, visit my girlfriend, etc. Anyway, I've yet to find a good shop that stocks contemporary soul & funk releases. I've found the used shops have their moments (I honestly prefer Ottawa overall ... oddly enough) and I'm sure to hit some up, but I have yet to find a shop that stocks a decent amount of newer shizz. I'm looking to pick up the Afrodizz LP (Montreal based afrobeat ... less than you might expect). I know Cheap Thrills, Atom Heart, Marche du Disque, L'Echange, Pop Shop, and a couple of others I can't recall ... is there a shop that might be analogous to Kim's ?

    If you can't find the LP, let me know. I'm friends with John Kong - the guy whom owns/runs Afro Dizz's label, Do Right! - sure we can hook you up.

    Yes, highly recommended.

    My girlfriend grew up around Pt. Claire. I'd looked up the address and she recognized the street and all. Getting there will be no problem. Thanks for the info! And Tom Noble's night ... he PM'd Lewis that the dancers do backflips. I'll be sure to wear protective clothing.
