Vancouver’s Cory Wilson and Paul Machnau along with Toronto’s Lee Yankou took the time to share 7 of their favourite tracks and some commentary about each courtesy of Frank Daniello. Have a peak here and see the full list, videos and photos on the Push blog.
Ululation: “Brouhaha” (Ululation, 1987)
“It’s the jazz tune from Ethan Fowler’s part in Stereo’s ‘A Visual Sound’ (1994). To me, this part captures what skateboarding is all about – cruising around the streets. The music fits nicely with the skating and lifestyle footage in the part.”
David Bowie: “Rock ‘n’ Roll Suicide” (The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, 1972).
“Arto Saari in ‘Sorry’ (Flip, 2002) would definitely be my favourite song/part combo. It’s 2 Bowie songs, and having it end with ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll Suicide’ is just way too amazing. This song doesn’t get old for me. Even the Seu Jorge version in Portuguese is rad.”
Metallica: “Four Horsemen” (Kill ‘Em All, 1983).
“It’s probably my choice for best footage/music combo. It was Colin McKay and Danny Way’s combo part in ‘The Revolution’ (Plan B, 1997). The song is sick and I really like the way the part was put together. It was all vert, but it just got me hyped to go skate fast.”
