Hastings Street, the most recent Brazzaville album, is named after the infamous Hastings Street in Vancouver. It is basically the Skid Row of Vancouver, full of junkies and prostitutes. The title track on the CD was inspired by the life story of a guy I once met. There are several love songs on the record(Old Folks, It Only Hurts). There are also several stories about different characters. Londres is the tale of a young girl growing up in East L.A. She is surrounded by poverty and violence. She listens to the Cure and the Smiths and dreams of one day escaping to the promised land of Londres (London). Love Is the Answer is the story of an abused daughter who escapes to SF with her best friend. Lagos Slums is the story of a Nigerian man struggling to support his family in the New World of globalization.
