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 

I am not going to lie. I am not the biggest fan of reggae. But thanks to the Boogie Nation Crew and thier video releases over the years, now I am. check thier site and videos out as well
