What's up? Everybody out there in Swell cast it's Neil D back with another segment. And this one is on music. I was looking through the Internet today, and I saw that Beastie Boys license to L album came out 35 years ago today. And I can't believe it's been that long pinnacle hip hop album. And my question is, what are your first three albums you bought yourself?

And I always wondered. And I saw people wearing the shirt all the time in the skull. And I always wondered what that was. And the album was American Psycho. So I picked that up. So I got into Misfits two at around fifth grade and then the Offspring Americana, and then Inks and Ombre, however you pronounce it. So I bought those at the same time, and I actually bought those two. I got in trouble for it

I don't believe it's out of Princeton, but that's the Misfits first album with Glen Danzig fantastic album. And I recommend the first Offspring album to Smash, which is probably my favorite pop punk band and pop punk album. So really good choices, man. And what you're talking about is Columbia House. And that was from my day where you would send them a Penny. And you picked twelve CDs, twelve cassettes, I believe, or CDs. And they would mail you the CDs

So I would let my friends use my itunes and I would fill up ipods. I killed three computers real quick, awful. I'm wiring, and I was known for that, and now I'm totally opposite. I couldn't tell you what bands are hot and what's not. I've always been in the I could say in the genres, but definitely growing up with pop punk was huge in my life

Hey, how you doing, Neil? This is interesting, man. You know, I can't actually remember. I'm trying to think, what did I buy? And it would have been a little bit before, maybe, like, 84. I know. The very first twelve inch I bought was Rolls Voice Magic Touch. But I think the album is going to be a thriller and then Wham. Fantastic. And I think it was now the very first double album now is like Hits

But whatever local video shows I was watching, they're showing music videos from second rate B list artists. They were showing this jazz violinist his track, and he's not even in the video. It's a cool time lapse of, like airports and cityscapes. I was fascinated by it, and I bought the album and listen to it, knowing nothing about jazz, knowing nothing about computer synthesizer music

I grew up in the post punk days, which was called New Wave, which was before your time, like bands like Psychedelic Furs, which are probably considered classic bands to you now, Flock of Seagulls, that kind of stuff which was endated on MTV. Not to give you a music history here, man, bro. But we are talking about music. Beastie Boys were just a category of all their own

Thanks for the feedback, Mark. I've never heard of RollsRoyce, so I can't really comment on that. But Thriller. Yeah. I think everybody bought that album. I think that's one of the first albums for everybody. It's definitely one of the first in the top ten first albums I ever bought. Definitely. I bought that on cassette and love that album. And I remember seeing the video on MTV, and it was just such a big deal

And I always thought that dude was so innovative, so I don't know if that constitutes for anything, but what a great musician that guy was. Herbie Hancock. And that video, I just remember, was so ahead of its time and inventive and innovative. So thanks for the input, man
