 And that includes this thread here - an earlier version ran five months ago ("Diggers Roll Call," Feb. 14 - check the archives). But I find both versions interesting; no complaints from me... </blockquote>
 
 Yeah I was kinda worried about starting this thread because I figured it would repeat-steez.

 don't get me wrong ya'll, I've no prob with topics coming back around, shit thats life, I was just saying that just don't feel compelled to post in the 4th 'funky reggae' thread in 6 months, or the 'favourite OSTs' thread, or the 81st 'what do you think of madlib' thread etc etc .. </blockquote>
 
 I must of missed 3 of those funky reggae threads. Prolly at the cottage. 
 
 MY name is Kevin and I've been around here ever since purchasing Raj's Phil Lehman revenge CD Good Goodness which had the acoustic quality of a 6 generation recordable 8-track, S'all good, I was intrigued nonetheless. 
 
 I started collecting while apprenticing at my older friends DJ crew back in the early 80's. Think the first 12 I bought was Run's Sucker MC's. I really saw the potential of dealing records at a young age when my friend was offered $100 for "Top Billin'" - he had got it from a cousin in New York and was the only one playing it at the time. Main interests are calypso/caribbean and aro funk/soul, hard 60's latin (mostly eminating from SOuth American (Columbia)), middle eastern ska, disco/rap 12's, reggae funk/soul, modern soul (the earlier soulful generally 45 non-guzzo type), Brooklyn/NY and Toronto 70's roots, and anything else you can convince me off. Been dealing since my 2nd year of University (mid/early 90's) and eventually quite my job at the bank (left my tie on the bosses desk) to do it full-time (after realizing I was making more money doing it on the side than I was at the bank). Kind of pride myself in spinning/dealing stuff askew of the norm. Dig hanging with my Grandmother, very long bike rides, dropping rain on unsupecting defenders, crushing a meter-back at Ashbriges beach (or elsewhere), the odd muay-thai spar, good parties with open minded people, and...soulstrut. MEt a couple of you out in the real world (if you can call my cottage that), Raj, Breaks, SOnicR, Otis, Cardova, Dreas, Dave, also Fatback, Haz, Danno3, Miss B (my partner in crime), Catalist, Blaz, Dubious, I must have rubbed shoulders with Aser but I can't put a name to the face.
