Alex Moul/Dr Octagon in Playing Fields though
Yeah of course, anyone who skated to Kool Keith in 411 and before the year 2000 is legit.
Remember that 411 Roadtrip section featuring a then unknown Brian Wenning, Bobby Puleo and Pat O’Dell?
Background props trouser game at the level of thr game of skate
Yeah this is fucking brilliant. Both parts are pure reckless hunger it seems.
So, so good. Will rewatch immediately. (Not the slams though.)
My friend Henry Fischer filmed by his dad Leandro for Al Carrer skate shop in BCN
Really good people x
Had a minute to watch this. How cool is a dad and son section this good?
Brooklyn Banks trick was epic.
I remember not long after this album came out, me and my mate decided to stop and smoke near a mere/pool around Tarporley way. This track gave us some chuckles imagining Mr Gerbick coming out of the water. As you do when you’re stoned.
Good old days eh.
Enjoyed this. Really reminds me of Steve Young.
Good call
ABP? Was listed in QS Top10 last week. Gabriel Fortunato is very good. I’d not paid attention before.
Heavy quadrant including Josef Scott, Kevin Baekkel and a guy I never heard of Alex Risvad.
Pretty certain Kevin will have CTE. His part is really gnarly but I can’t watch him hit his head anymore.
Kool Keith is so ill.
I’d love to see him live.
Read that a totally different way and went off to look for the story about his imminent death
I had to stop following Kool Keith on Twitter after he posted a picture of a Lego minifig inserted into a vagina
That’s not cool Keith.
My mate booked Kool Keith for a gig years ago when he was a promoter and there are some funny stories.
He contacted Keith online somehow and couldn’t believe how cheap it was to book him. He didn’t 100% believe he was gonna turn up, but he did!
He collected them from Heathrow in his old Beemer to drive them to Cardiff. He stopped at Leigh Delaware services and managed to lose Keith. After a period of panic he found him chatting up some milf in Marks and Sparks and inviting her to his hotel in Cardiff
He dragged him away and got him back in the car, then drove them all to Cardiff and they did a pretty sick show. It all went a bit wonky afterwards but at least my mate got his ticket money and didn’t end up too out of pocket.
I remember going round my mates house and his missus was cooking loads of fried chicken wings as specified on Kool Keith’s rider because they couldn’t find anywhere in Cardiff that did them back then.
Haha thats brilliant and I am completely unsurprised.
Seen Kool Keith a couple of times, first was at some big fest at Finsbury Park in the late 90s (World Dance maybe?), he came on late and was only on for about fifteen minutes, only did one tune, spent the whole time shouting and ranting angrily, calling the band on before him “asshole motherfuckers” for making him late (I think it was De La Soul).
Second time was at Glastonbury, was fucking brilliant, can’t really remember much but we just laughed all the way through cos he was soo good and really fucking hilarious, it was a lovely sunny afternoon with lots of beautiful people in flowery dresses and here he was doing disgusting rhymes about doing unspeakable things to women and horses and alligators, he finished his last verse with “… shit on your shoes, pee on your dress” - what a way to go out.
Side anecdote, at the Finsbury Park thing as we were leaving we saw Bobby Gillespie waiting for a bus at the Gillespie Road bus stop, this was before phones so nobody got a pic but I swear it happened.
Lee Scratch Perry was also on that day, watched his whole set and honestly only managed to understand one sentence, which was “Policeman dem a teef anna murderer”
Edit: turns out it was the ‘Essential Weekender’, just found the line up, wow I guess I must have missed a lot of incredible sets because I can’t remember a damn thing
