Rinkrat’s Song of the Week – July 1, 2008

A Slice of English ToastThere has been a change of guards in the music department at Get Gal VanIZed. The weekly song is now sent by Michael Zampelli/AKA Rinkrat, former owner of Zed Records. Zed was a Long Beach, CA mecca of punk and alternative music that kept Southern California music enthusiasts adequately supplied with unique, original and innovative music for more than 30 years. I want music with a theme. It has to be empowering, positive and pro-woman to be on Get Gal VanIZed. Rinkrat delivers all that and more. He makes a smooth transition from the Hip Hop selections of the past four weeks into a reggae/ska sound that reminds me of Jamaica and Island Records and Goldenvoice shows at the Olympic Auditorium in the 80's. Rinkrat's debut track selection is titled A Liberated Woman. It's by Ranking Ann off the Slice of English Toast LP. Click play, turn up your speakers and give it a good listen.
