Bob Mersereau reviews Best of Soul Train DVD

By Bob Mersereau • Nov 30th, 2010 • Category: Book Reviews, Feature Post, Goose Lane Authors, Video

If those had been cut out, it would have made for a faster-paced, more watchable product on DVD.

Along with some of my friends, and some people who were part of the Top 100 Canadian Singles project, several DOZEN of her friends showed up. We were getting close to a hundred in there. Pages sold all but two of the books they brought. I got hand cramp from signing.

The Top 100 Canadian Singles has had its second official launch event, this time in Vancouver. Zulu Records was the site, and how appropriate. Zulu has been active in the Vancouver music scene since the 70’s, and is the spiritual home of the indie/alternative/punk scene in that city. Its roots go deep, with such bands as Payolas, DOA, Slow, and Pointed Sticks.
