chrome ball incident #248: helter skelter







"Whatever you eat is pretty much what you shit out and who you are."

Never one to back away from controversy or pull any punches, for better or worse...

Where unpredictable meets unorthodox: Adam McNatt.

Classic Powell/101 era...

'cept for this one.

Interviews to come soon enough.

chrome ball incident #195: moonlight sonata





Keeping in mind the timeframe of when the video came out, the trick selection contained within and the overall clean style employed throughout (you can't tell me those late shuvs dont look fuckin' sick!), Pat Brennen in 1991's Celebrity Tropical Fish is my choice for the most underrated video part of the '90s. Granted some of that ledgework doesn't hold-up so well these days but regardless, there is some absolutely amazing shit in here that is not nearly discussed as much as it should be. And for '91!?! Forget about it.

I realize this is kind of a bold proclamation and I'm not really expecting anybody to actually agree with me on this... just putting it out there. Curious what you guys think and what your choices for the must underrated 90's video part would be. Keep in mind that many fly under the radar for several years before getting their proper due by the population at large... an honor that I still don't think Pat's Fish part has fully received. I honestly think if this wasn't a post-heyday powell project, this part would have the word "legendary" attached to it much more often and by a far greater amount of people.

This one isn't bad either (also '91).

R.I.P.
