Keys to the Kingdom.

Join the Groove next Wednesday for some more funkiness.  Got a stack from my man Calvin Keys!  Plus, music from the last two albums from the ultra funky French band, Cortex and more from Mighty Mighty.  And in the spirit of Saturday's New Deck Party, I got the 2nd of the first two records I picked up in my first foray into record diggin'.  Stop on by.
