interviews from our backissues
(Finger #1-6)


Chromeo
is the Canadian answer to Zapp or Cameo. They got signed before even anybody ever heard a song of them – just because the concept sounded so good on paper. And it even sounds better on record. Pee Thug and Dave One are Roger Troutman and Larry Blackmon united.

  i-Tunes Playlist  
first record remembered
Michael Jackson - Bad. This is also the first record I bought. I memorized this one by heart, I only had 2 albums back then: LL Cool J’s „BAD (Bigger And Deffer)“ and Michael Jackson’s „Bad“.

a song that reminds you of school
Bell Biv Devoe - Poison. This is a song that marked my high school years. I used to prepare dance routines with my friends and enter dance competitions in high school parties and house parties. I used to wear MC Hammer pants, polka dot shirts, British Knights and I had a Hi Top Fade.

a record you fell in love to
Mary J. Blige - Share My World. My first serious girlfriend and I used to listen to this album all the time...

your ultimate heartbreak song
Roger - I Want To Be Your Man. First song that actually made me cry.

a record that evokes greatest summer of your life
Jodeci - The Show, The Afterparty, The Hotel. One of my top 10 favorite albums ever. I killed that shit the summer it came out.

first record you bought
Michael Jackson - Bad. First record I ever bought when I got off the boat in 1987.

your boozed up anthem
Non Phixion - Black Helicopters. I tend to like violent paranoia songs when I'm drunk, this one's perfect.

a song you would as a ringtone (if forced)
„Hava Nagila“. No need to force me, it already is my ringtone...

a song you wish youd made yourself
Zapp - More Bounce To The Ounce. I'm speechless on this one, I have no speech...

a song guarenteed to make you feel depressed
Phil Collins - Another Day In Paradise
Just listen to the lyrics...

best Beatles song
Yesterday. This is probably my favorite Beatles song, although „Something“ comes in very close in second place.

the perfect anthem for Montreal
Rick James - Mary Jane. No reason

the song played at your funeral
DJ Quik - Roger's Groove
