Who got into music because of skate videos?

I did. I definitely didn't have an older brother, and my friends were all bumping shit off of the radio. No music stores besides peaches and shit growing up. Hearing all kinds of hip hop, and punk rock in skate vids was a massive blessing for me. I used to dub the soundtracks to tapes and bump em in the car. I can remember listening to Hurricane 'Off the Hurra' in my Camry with all kinds clack clack in it.

Sounds like you met Hemol!
Girl, Chocolate, and Zoo York, and 411 always had dope shit.
I vaguely remember some guy I knew in university asking our friend Rory (of StopAndCop fame) to make him a mix of all the music off some Girl film... can't remember which one though.
I always really enjoyed the cinematic qualities of music, so I liked seeing it used effectively in skate vids.
