"i met casey rice just once in boston when he was on tour with sigur-ros. i was a big fan of thrill jockey and jade tree and those so-called "chicago music", so i was really excited to see one of the masterminds. he was really nice too, nice enough to convince me to move to chicago, hoping i could get to hang out and work with him on some cool "chicago" projects. but when i moved to chicago, casey was ready to move out. i called him up but he was too busy, and a few weeks later he moved out of chicago. now i was stuck in chicago in the worst days of g.w.bush-depression. i lost job twice, lost directions, and ended up giving up on anything. i felt like going no where, depressed, sad and lonely. casey rice ruined my life."

Oaklandish Hip-Hop
More well documented is Oakland’s contribution to Hip Hop. These tracks were unavoidable during the golden age, when these beats were heard booming out of car trunks city wide. (Before the early 90’s no-cruising laws were passed). There are way too many influential artists to fit in one mix, so here we just started with the fundementals. Featuring: Too Short, Digital Underground, E-40 and the Click, The Luniz, Dru Down, and the Souls of Mischief.

Oaklandish Thrash Metal
In the 80’s Heavy Metal music began to get harder & faster, as local bands were inspired by their punk compatriots. The all ages night club ‘Ruthie’s Inn’ was a breeding ground for this musical fusion, dubbed ”Thrash Metal’. At this time the members of Metallica lived together in a house in El Cerrito, and were an integral part of this East Bay scene. The bands in this mix all played together at Ruthie’s, and shared a similar morbid sensibility. (Footnote: the El Sobrante band ‘Possessed’ are cited as the godfathers of the sub-genre called "Death Metal", the name of which came from the title of their 1983 demo tape). Featuring: Exodus, Laaz Rockit, Death Angel, Testament, Possessed, Vio-lence, Metallica, Heathen, and Y&T.

This mix is a snap shot of those early days, when spirited local kids recreated punk in their own image.
