How and what has ZeroZero been rockin with since we last checked the year? We`ve returned once more to the holy land of Amsterdam and rocked some metal, rolled some scliffage, busted some rhymes and basically represented. So here to bring you the real shit, the stuff that was the most advanced and slamming at the end of the 20th century. A little warning : This list represents the pinaccle of human civilisation. If you think something mindchongingly good is missing then get in touch, son.

For some truly mashed behavior, Amsterdam was the place to be...and spot ZeroZero crew walking in all directions to nowhere in particular! This is the place where we got so mashed that we walked down the same street about 5 times without realising. Fortunately, we hadn't checked out all of those special placed called "Coffee Shops". The coffee was pretty mad actually!

Summer was Glastonbury, J18 and yet more sessions in the park. Whatever the vibe, wherever the place, we are here to chill.

Best erbs of the year I hear you asking.....a little list:

1) Sensi Hash - special hash made from compressed skunk crystals, and a decent price too (from the Wall).

2) Super Pollem - can't remember this so it must be good.

3) Top Maroc - when you heated this stuff up, it turned into hash as sticky as super glue. Special.

4) Master Kush - a faint Indian aroma...or something like that. Skunk.

5) White Russian - be careful, you may be telling people who shouldn't hear about this wicked weed.

What was crap in Amsterdam:

1) Mate de Coca - not a charging experience, except on the wallet.
2) Twats from Rickmansworth - don't trust any weakarses who look like idiots.
3) The rain, and the weather generally - March is not the month for good weather
4) Coffee Shop 36  - permeated wackness. Fuck those weakarses. (All men play on ten!)

And where did we purchase all of these particulars? Was is perchance in England? NO! Look at the flag for a little clue.

1) Greenhouse Effect Bar - good for laughing at some stupid americans.
2) The Wall - for a quiet chill and some pool tables with oddly sized balls.
3) Everywhere else that sells quality herbs - not Coffeeshop 36, all it plays is weak house, and of course not Smokey Joes

Beers usually mean pub, but when we arrived at the beer festivals this year, we realised that two Belgium beers = infinite numbers of Fosters...It was time to get creative.

Best Beers: (in no real order)

Tsingtao - still stylin it...
Brok beer - it gets you Brock-up
Amsterdam Mariner - some cheap and nasty shit on a tenner a crate, but it strangely gets you up for random destruction when mixed with metal.
Kozel - still a good quality purchase at 1quid50.
Special Brew - fanatics out there - we salute you! truly the BeerOWar!

Best times:

All sessions
ECTS  - (cheers for the beers, ha ha ha - represent fool', you know we`re ready to rock and do the bogle, man for Y2K mashup!)
Sony party -  (after ECTS) Excellent session - shame about the gay house band playing - get Manowar next year, be-atch.

So, if you are still feeling weak and feeble then ZZ has no sympathy. Your time was up in 98, son.

Metal Album Nominations For the Millennium:

1) Any Manowar Album except for Fighting the World.
2) All Emperor Albums
3) The new Enslaved Album - Blodheim
4) Filosofem - Burzum
5) Reign in Blood & South of Heaven - Slayer

(If you don't weep at this list then you are undoubtedly a weakarse)

Other records of the year:

1) Dr Dooom - "First come, first served" Kool Keith returns with a fucked-up album about cannibalism, mundane life, untidy houses and shit cars. This is the real shit.
2) Handsome Boy Modelling School - Many like minded masheads got mashed and made this hardcore album.
3) Loads of old dub and smokin` tunes - especially Horace Andy who has chilled us.

Basically, we`re saying that about three good records came out in the 99, and we rocked some other shit.

Best venues:

1) the ******** pub in Hitchin - yeah fools, if you don`t know which pub we mean by now, you`ll not be rockin where the ZZ vibe is at. Suckaz.
2) The Fridge in London - banging techno and a chilled vibe

Play true metal, or at least remember that the breakbeat is the master.
No weakness, pure hardcore. Keep it real in 2000. Beaaatch.
I`m out of here like an ex-dictator. Cheers, Jack. Chill son.....<time to bill up a mashup skliff>
