3. GLORIA by Van Morrison
We used this in the intro to Ceezeefour a few years ago and it reminds me of good times and good friends.

5. Crosstown Traffic by Jimi Hendrix
I picked this song for Jake Blauvelts part in one of our Movies a long time ago. Not having to get rights for a friends video is the shit! This song rules, I think they use it for the traffic report on the radio too.

AM JAMS | Top Five Songs with Peter Benchetler

1) Happy by The Rolling Stones
Every stones song is amazing but this is Keith’s song so it’s even more amazing

2) Subterranean Homesick Blues by Bob Dylan.
This probably my favorite Bob Dylan song. The lyrics don’t make any sense and the video is smooth.

3) Chatterbox by The New York Dolls
This is Johhny Thunders doing his own song with the dolls. You can see how much energy and attitude he puts into it. This is one of my favorite guitar solos ever.

4) Smash it up by The Damned
This song is smooth, its been one of my favorites for a while. That’s it.

5) Psychotic Reaction by The Count Five.
Psychedelic music is awesome. This song is good. Enjoy

Brad Kremer is a director, cinematographer and editor. He has been a part of so many great snowboard films, including Mackdawgs new film “Follow Me Around” He makes the films that get us stoked on snowboarding. Be sure to check out his Top 5!

1- Metallica: Master of Puppets
This was the first cd i ever owned. Metallica was my favorite as teen by far. Master of puppets brings memories of skating my vert ramp with my brother and friends in my backyard. It doesn’t get any better than that.

2. Beatles: The White Album
Not too much too explain here except that it is just amazing. I will never tire of the Beatles. Especially the White Album.

3. Radiohead: OK Computer
It took me a while to get into Radiohead. My friend would always play them and I would tell him to turn off that emotional crap but one day in Sacramento it grabbed me and never let go. There is so much complexity and emotion in this album. Just don’t do any long drives at night with it playing.

4. NOFX: White trash, Two heebs and a Bean
White Trash came out the year I moved to Tahoe. It was fast, melodic and totally addicting. Those were really good times filled with really good music.

5. John Williams: Star Wars Soundtrack
What did you expect? It’s Star Wars!!!

The Hives was one of the bands at the Nokia Air&Style Munich 2007. They are Garage Style Stooges/Mc5 and showed tons of power on the stage. The singer is a Performance for sure. Check out this video in Nuernberg, Germany:

Mac is a radical dude and he listens to some radical tunes which help him to do some radical moves on his snowboard. Watch and listen to what Mac’s got Jammin on his I-pod while he shreds one of the many resorts in and around Waaaasatch Mountain Range in Utah.

Ten years after - “I’d love to change the world”
I like shredding to this song because it makes me do better method grabs and tweaks. It also helps me pretend that I’m flying.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Slayer - “skeletons of society”
This song is good for spraying people, halfpipe riding, and all around slaying shit.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Notorious BIG - “gimme the loot”
Notorious just makes me want to bust caps in fools, and I think it makes you ride like ten times more stylish.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Van Morrisson - “Gloria”
Good for powder slashing.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Marvin Gaye - “Heard it through the grapevine”
This song makes me want to dance, and anything that makes me want to dance definitely makes me want to shred.

“Nothing is constant. That’s what I’ve always though. Here are my top five albums right now but it will change again like the time before.” - Jesse Smith

1. Mike Ness - Cheating at Solitaire - Don’t think twice - This album makes me want to get in my 50’s gangster hot rod with a pack of Reds and hit the highway to nowhere. One of my favorite Dylan songs but Mike covers it so well it sound like he wrote it.

2. S.T.R.E.E.T.S( skateboarding totally rules everything else totally sucks) - Bobognargnar- Georgia street - If you can find this album, you’ll understand. Quit everything, get a mellow 12 and go skate with your friends with this playing the whole time.

3. Tom Waits - Bone Machine - “I don’t want to grow up” - Seems like folks turn in to things they never want. The only thing to live for is today.” I had this line written on my wall when I was17 and it has stuck with me forever. I want this song played at my funeral.

4. 3 Inches of Blood - Battle cry under a winter sun - Hall of Heroes - This is the ultimate shred everything album for me. The best part in the song is when Cam does the demonic “Can you feel it?” voice. Every time I listen to this I picture a Viking Helmut on my head as I ride my ghost horse into battle.

5. Descendents – Somery - My dad sucks - I don’t think my dad does by any means but this song makes me wish that he did.

One thing I can say for sure about the Flaming Lips : They are unbelievable. This entire night was somewhat of a fantasy for the entire crew.

It all began in downtown Cleveland outside of the The Agora Theatre for the much anticipated Flaming Lips Show. There I met up with one of the greatest graphic designers alive Aaron James Draplin from DDC. Along with Draplin was Nate Deschenes assistant editor for Snowboard Magazine and Pete Scheira from Shoptheblend.com. Ha industry guys, and the greatest crew for what was about to go down. I personally didn’t know what was in store for me but I was stoked either way. Annemarie LoConti “Thank You Very Much Annemarie” arranged free tickets and lined up an interview with Wayne Coyne leader and creative director of the Flaming Lips. Their was a little worry among the crew about whether an interview was going to happen so when it finally popped we couldn’t believe it.

Back Stage we went and in came Wayne…….

Draplin was definitely the bands biggest fan and lead the interview to a 50 minute brain pick of the creative mind behind the Flaming Lips. It was great to hear these guys go at it. Draplin had something to ask and Coyne had an answer. It was almost as if Draplin was living a dream for that moment. The full interview will be out soon on Snowrev.com and in Snowboard Magazine.

The show was insane!! These guys are great and even though I am familiar with their music I did not expect them to put on such a great show. There music drew out the last bit of scream my throat could handle and toward the end began to take me out of the Agora and to another place. The smoke machines, strobe lights and lasers made for great visual effects. Their second encore brought about a song that sent me into a winding down daydream and officially capped the night for me. Ha, Wayne Coyne is a genius. I was definitely lucky to be in the good presence of many amazing minds tonight. Again thanks to Annemarie and watch these videos below to hear the Flaming Lips. Be on the lookout for the full Wayne Coyne interview on Snowboard Revolution and in Snowboard Magazine.

They played some amazing tracks including…
