Grandmaster Melle Mel - Freestyle

Akercocke - Horns of Baphomet
Dear Akercocke,
I'm an idiot for not representing you guys on my blog sooner. What was I thinking.
Yours,

Nice N Smooth - Sometimes I Rhyme Slow
This track could've turned out terrible, but with Greg Nice in the cut there's no danger. This track is about his neice or some other young chick that has a drug problem, and she simply can't stop snorting blow. The Tracey Chapman sample is a brave choice, but it pays off.

Opeth - Ending Credits
Opeth have so many good songs, I had to throw this one up as well. The original is on their Damnation album.

Black Sabbath - War Pigs (Live Paris 1970)
Absolutely gnarly track, and a top performance from Ozzy and the lads. This song would later be covered by about 300 bands.
Black Sabbath - NIB (Live Paris 1970)
This song (and this exact live version) got me in to Black Sabbath. Words fail me at the moment to describe this great, majorly influential band. Enjoy the track \m/
D12 - Purple Pills (Anger Management Tour 2002)
Love this performance for a few reasons, mainly because Proof (RIP) totally nails his verse and looks cool doin' the phunky robot. Plus Bizarre's outfit is a cack.

Crowbar - Existence Is Punishment
Taken from the self-titled CD, one of the best metal CDs of the 90's. Another solid band from New Orleans.

Saturnus - Rain Wash Me
This has been a favourite for quite some time now. Thomas has one of the best metal growls I've heard \m/
Salome - Carving The Ether
You've heard of 2 Guys, a Girl & a Pizza Place right? No, neither have I. Let me introduce 2 guys, a girl, and a Doom Metal band called Salome. Unfortunately they've now split-up after the departure of the beautiful vocalist Katherine, but what can ya do. This track is off a split they did with another group of southern rockers called Thou.

Nirvana - Lithium (live)
I'm so happy 'cause today
I found my friends
They're in my head
I'm so ugly, that's okay, 'cause so are you
We broke our mirrors
Sunday morning is everyday for all I care
And I'm not scared
Light my candles, in a daze
'Cause I've found god
Yeah yeah yeah yeah(x6)
yeah
I'm so lonely, that's ok I shaved my head
And I'm not sad
And just maybe I'm to blame for all I've heard
I'm not sure
I'm so excited, I can't wait to meet you there
And I don't care
I'm so horny, that's okay
My will is good
Yeah yeah yeah yeah (x6)
yeah
I like it - I'm not gonna crack
I miss you - I'm not gonna crack
I love you - I'm not gonna crack
I killed you - I'm not gonna crack
I like it - I'm not gonna crack
I miss you - I'm not gonna crack
I love you - I'm not gonna crack
I killed you - I'm not gonna crack
I'm so happy 'cause today
I found my friends
They're in my head
I'm so ugly, but that's okay, 'cause so are you
We broke our mirrors
Sunday morning is everyday for all I care
And I'm not scared
Light my candles in a daze
'Cause I've found god
Yeah yeah yeah yeah (x6)
yeah
I like it - I'm not gonna crack
I miss you - I'm not gonna crack
I love you - I'm not gonna crack
I killed you - I'm not gonna crack
I like it - I'm not gonna crack
I miss you - I'm not gonna crack
I love you - I'm not gonna crack
I killed you - I'm not gonna crack

Crowbar - All I Had I Gave
Instead of the pretty girls theme I was thinking about - here are some ugly men doing some straight up New Orleans-style metal. I loved this 16 years ago and still do.

Sneaker Pimps - 6 Underground
I can see a potential theme of posting great tracks featuring hot women... watch this space.

Ben Harper ft. Vanessa Paradis - Waiting on an Angel
The looks that these two exchange during this fantastic duet are kinda weird, but nonetheless it's a very nice twist on a Ben Harper classic.

Suffocation - Pierced From Within
Live @ Wacken or somewhere. Suffocation just fucking wail. Can you imagine them playing the Gaelic Club in Sydney? That's where I took the photos at the top and bottom of this page.

Wu Tang Clan - Ice Cream
Ice Cream - track 15 from memory - off the critically acclaimed (better yet, me acclaimed) 1995 release "Only Built For Cuban Linx". If you ask me, Wu Tang pretty much owned the 2nd half of the 90s as far as MC'n and production.

The Mountain Goats - This Year
I just really like this track about an unfortunate yet optimistic teenager, and it's great to see it performed unplugged.

Sepultura - Orgasmatron (Motorhead cover)
Also at Donington 94, this song is in my top 5. The lyrics are epic.
I am the one, Orgasmatron, the outstretched grasping hand
My image is of agony, my servants rape the land
Obsequious and arrogant, clandestine and vain
Two thousand years of misery, of torture in my name
Hypocrisy made paramount, paranoia the law
My name is called religion, sadistic, sacred whore.
I twist the truth, I rule the world, my crown is called deceit
I am the emperor of lies, you grovel at my feet
I rob you and I slaughter you, your downfall is my gain
And still you play the sycophant and revel in you pain
And all my promises are lies, all my love is hate
I am the politician, and I decide your fate
I march before a martyred world, an army for the fight
I speak of great heroic days, of victory and might
I hold a banner drenched in blood, I urge you to be brave
I lead you to your destiny, I lead you to your grave
Your bones will build my palaces, your eyes will stud my crown
For I am Mars, the god of war, and I will cut you down.
I am the one, Orgasmatron, the outstretched grasping hand

Obsequious and arrogant, clandestine and vain
Two thousand years of misery, of torture in my name

I twist the truth, I rule the world, my crown is called deceit
I am the emperor of lies, you grovel at my feet
I rob you and I slaughter you, your downfall is my gain
And still you play the sycophant and revel in you pain

I hold a banner drenched in blood, I urge you to be brave

Arnie's best
Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of their women.
Mastodon - Oblivion
A band that's rough around the edges, but Brent (left on your screen) has one of the most unique voices I have heard in a long time.
Biggie ft. 2Pac - Runnin (Dying To Live) (Uncensored)
I grew up a fuckin' screw up. Got introduced to the game, got a ounce and fuckin' blew up.
Bolt Thrower - For Victory
1994 was a great year for metal. This is the title track from "For Victory", straight up Brutal Death Metal from UK kings Bolt Thrower. Easily in my top 10.
Brutal Truth - Choice Of A New Generation
This blog has gone on for too long without some Brutal Truth. In 94 they released an album called "Need To Control". This is my favourite track off that album, and favourite grind song ever.

Serj Tankian - Gate 21
Taken from the album "Elect The Dead Symphony" - which is more of a concept album than a straight-forward release. It was my favourite album of 2010.
Serj Tankian - Elect The Dead
Another song from "Elect the Dead Symphony", Serj's album he recorded live with the Auckland Philharmonic Orchestra.
Slayer - Mandatory Suicide
Massacre on the front line! Live at Download Festival 2007, and the track is off "South Of Heaven" from 1988.
Sepultura - Policia
Brazil's finest touring on the back of their crushing album Chaos AD. This song is a Titas cover performed live at Donnington in 1994. I wouldn't say this was when Sepultura were in their prime, but pretty close to it. I love most of what was released with the original lineup - Max Cavalera on vocals, Igor Cavalera on drums, Andreas Kisser on lead guitar and Paulo Jr on bass.

Suicide Silence - No Pity For A Coward
There are two deathcore tracks I wanna put up, so I can move onto other types of metal. So here's the first one.

Pantera - Primal Concrete Sledge
This song/vid has it all. Dimebag, boobs, a cameo by Zakk Wylde and his dog, and of course it wouldn't be a Pantera show without Phil being absolutely plastered!

Ice T - Midnight
"Looked at my watch, it was 6 in the mornin" - Ice T tells of a quiet night out with the boys. Killer tune from the early 90's (the Golden Era of rap)

Speed dial trick for iPhone 3 users
Pretty nifty. Note: when the guy types in "111222333", do not use those numbers. He's using them as an example (albeit a shit one) of a phone number. So put the phone number in that you want to have on speed dial. And when he calls the icon "test" or whatever, that's where you put your friends name, so it'll appear on the icon.
Track of the Day
C-Bo - Liquor Sto' (1993)
I can't believe it took almost 20 years for me to stumble across this track. Oh no, liquor sto, here we go!
