Dr. Dre – The $20 Sack Pyramid
Monday, December 13th, 2010
Classic skit from Dre’s The Chronic album. I seem to remember seeing some live version of this as well somewhere but I can’t find it anywhere now!

Crap Metal Album Covers #3: Scorpions – Fly To The Rainbow
Friday, December 10th, 2010
Scorpions are no stranger to the crap metal cover, in fact they’ve made some of the weirdest and most offensive ones out there but they’ve been discussed at length on other sites already.
So, let’s set the scene here. This was the German bands’s second album. One that moved them further in the direction of all out ballsy, manly heavy metal music and away from their jazzy roots. I think the cover works perfectly. To my surprise the band to this day still feel that it missed the mark slightly.

FZ – Forbidden Zone
Monday, December 6th, 2010
Not much is known about this one. No idea who was behind the release and I don’t know whether they made anything else. All I do know is that it’s a wicked slab of early ’90s breakbeat badness. You’ll probably recognise a rather famous sample from the lyrics…

DJ Slam – Looking Into the Light
Friday, December 3rd, 2010
If you say “I like happy hardcore” to most people then you’ll probably be treated either as a child or as someone with mild mental retardation. However, I hope to prove that there’s actually lots of (well, some) decent stuff in that most cheesy of genres. You can pretty much ignore anything after 1996 and even ’95 is pushing it but that brief period when jungle & happy were still played at the same raves and even in the same sets produced some great tunes which many people might be missing out on.
This is a killer tune from 1993 by DJ Slam. A pretty hard one to track down, wish I actually had a copy myself. It sums up perfectly, for me, what was good about happy hardcore. Hectic breaks, piano breakdown and heavy bassline before it all went a bit too four to the floor and started ripping off every pop tune ever.
