COOL GIZMO ALERT: SEYMOUR DUNCAN SFX-01 PICKUP BOOSTER
Going into a music store without knowing exactly what you
are looking for, can be dangerous to your credit card
balance... at least it's that way for me. None the less,
occasionally I will indulge my gear lust and wander down to
my favorite guitar shop just to see if anything strikes my
fancy. A couple of months ago I had a moment of such
weakness. On my way home one afternoon, I felt that old
familiar tug. I found myself passing up my street and
heading a little farther down the road to one of the most
wonderful places on earth: DaPray/Maytas Guitar Gallery.

KICKSTA MUSIC GROUP: SCOTIA IN THE HOUSE
The bottom line is that the artists on the label's recent
release, a compilation called Scotia Mix, Vol. 1, are
strong. Whether it is hardcore rap - Teardrop, Papa Grand,
The Game Spitaz, Young Squad, The Empire - or hip hop soul
from Kicksta's queen bee Dimples, Duby, and label co-lea
der, prime mover, and clutch performer Jamie Sparks, these
artists, to quote Public Enemy, "bring the noise." We asked
Mr. Sparks and his battery mate Randy W. Powell to give us
the 411 on how they got started, where they're headed and
the ScoTown-Miami connection.
