Chicago town. I am sure there will be plenty of Kanye on this blog but we will keep it on the simmer for now 

Originally from the song spaceship from Kanye’s first album “the college dropout”. 

GLC stands out for me. Not to be confused with the Goldie Lookin Chain. His deep, clear tone makes you listen. 

This track is from his only studio album, produced and featuring John Legend. GLC might be up the top. But definitely on my hit list 

I am not sure how this genre of music hit my radar. but me likey.
February 2014 saw Ken Lazlo – Hey, Hey Guy ran so hot on my Blackberry it caught on fire. By August 2018 on a trip to Port Douglas for a friend’s wedding Valerie Dore – The Night was cooling me down. Somewhere in between this clip was uploaded and it was magic. The random European nightclub with the camera pesting everyone up and great combo of songs.
For a while they removed this video and just had a random thumbnail, not sure why. It would have had double the views for sure
Other noteable mentions is Scotch – Discoband

Newish? From Newcastle? Yeah, almost, December 2022 is when the youtube clip was put up. 15th of April 2023 is when it hit my Shazam. The southbound trip home from work always produces the goods with Triple J. Windang Driving Range is usually when it kicks in. Tons of fun from this one. Clip is sick and I rate it. Struggling to get into thier other songs. But time will tell on that

The comment below nailed it with my thoughts. maybe a incy bit of Grafton Primary in there as well

I must admit I was not a Metallica fan till my late teens. Subjected to Enter Sandman on RAGE and Year 7 school discos, it just wasn’t for me at the time, The Unforgiven II just made me more confused. Thanks to Macca and Digs for trying. Fast forward to my late teens Whiplash entered the scene used in moto and booging vids. It was fast and sick. The doco Some Kind of Monster hit it home for more and Frantic psyched me up. I can hear the Metallica fans sharpening thier pitch forks.

Fast forward to COVID times of YouTube Autoplay. This lands in my ears. It kind of reminds me of Dead Kennedys – Police Truck. Fonts of the album used for the logo this very website.

Let’s go pop punk! from an epic boogin’ DVD from the Waldron Brothers, Chad and Kane. Focusing primarily in Hawaii the section has Crashy, H Dixon, Port Boys, Crowley, Buntos. Personally the piano solo in some Jono waves sells the song and section for me

I will be dropping a fair bit of Mobb Deep in here. but first up is a gem for the ill fated G Unit association of Mobb Deep (2005 – 2009). They did drop some bangers in that time. Here is P dropping some mixtape love and sick lyrics

a bit slow for me at first. it grew on me. super chilled band from Wisconsin in the US. The only album release sells for over $500 on vinyl.

I was heading into high school at age 12. it was the end of 1996. I had just stumbled onto this Triple J radio station, not sure how, but bet it was my mate Grant. I was still recording songs off the radio onto tape. We had to work for our music and we didn’t get the same love with a film clip on Rage or Video Hits

This gem got me psyched. A slow build up and then it unleashes. Mad.

In later years. this would be demoted to my 2nd favourite Tool song

Clean, Fresh and dark 

I was trying to look up what skate brand Aussie Nick Boserio was on as he was commentating the Tokyo Olympics 

And stumbling across this gem from a Polaris Skate video which is where Nick is now sponsored 

This one is from Hjatle Halberg’s section. He skates so sick
