The beach, the ocean, waves, tacos, and maybe a margarita, and it\u2019s all gravy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Excited about<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Making music is just one of our passions.

To be able to take what we cook up in the kitchen (the lab) and bring it to the stage and perform it is exciting.

When we started the band as teenagers we played only super fast punk. Bands like Operation Ivy, Minor Threat, Pennywise and NOFX fueled our desire to play as fast as possible.\u00a0 Bands like the Skatalites and Buck O Nine inspired us to play ska.\u00a0 Roots music and reggae like Don Carlos inspired us to slow it down and turn up the bass for that kind of style.\u00a0 Over time we eventually played all the styles of music from Jazz, Afro Cuban, Blues, Funk, Punk Rock, Heavy Metal, Acoustic music, etc\u2026so the style of records and music in my record collection is similar to walking into a record store.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Current format:<\/strong>\u00a0Always have had a special love for vinyl, for the full vintage feel of buying a new record.\u00a0 The album cover art, the record art and all the cool things that come with a physical copy, how music was first released.\u00a0 It is nice to be able to just pull up any song you want nowadays as well if you are driving, or in motion.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<lite-youtube videoid=\"7H632KNR3Aw\" style=\"bottom: 0; height: 100%; left: 0; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; width: 100%; max-width:100%;\"><\/lite-youtube>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-albums-i-can-t-live-without\"><strong><u>5 Albums I Can\u2019t Live Without:<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1\">1<\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-master-of-puppets-metallica\"><strong><em>Master of Puppets<\/em>, Metallica<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1254\" height=\"1210\" src=\"https:\/\/static.spin.com\/files\/2025\/09\/Master-of-Puppets-Metallica.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-473596\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.spin.com\/files\/2025\/09\/Master-of-Puppets-Metallica.png 1254w, https:\/\/static.spin.com\/files\/2025\/09\/Master-of-Puppets-Metallica-340x328.png 340w, https:\/\/static.spin.com\/files\/2025\/09\/Master-of-Puppets-Metallica-768x741.png 768w, https:\/\/static.spin.com\/files\/2025\/09\/Master-of-Puppets-Metallica-498x481.png 498w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1254px) 100vw, 1254px\"><\/figure>\n<p>The first three albums from Metallica all immediately make you want to head bang.

How they started from East Coast punk rockers, and transcended into RUN DMC style hip-hop, and then transcended further into Meters-style funk, and multiple other genres all in one. They are masters of all styles of music and instruments, and performed like they were going into the Olympics. All their records are brilliant in different ways and styles, but\u00a0<em>Check Your Head<\/em>\u00a0is special how they combined all genres and really made something so beautiful that stands the test of time.

When I have a bad day and need to turn it around, this album saves the day. Or if you\u2019re having a good day and want it to be better, play this fucking record! Matt Freeman\u2019s insane bass style is a big influence on early\u00a0Slightly\u00a0Stoopid\u00a0punk music. Tim Armstrong and Jessie Michaels put out a collaboration in 2023 called Doom Regulator that is killer. Check out the song \u201cRaid\u201d by Doom Regulator.\u00a0 Every album from Rancid is also a huge influence for\u00a0Slightly\u00a0Stoopid.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5\">5<\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-which-doobie-u-be-funkdoobiest\"><strong><em>Which Doobie U Be?<\/em>, Funkdoobiest<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1290\" height=\"1290\" src=\"https:\/\/static.spin.com\/files\/2025\/09\/Which-Doobie-U-Be-Funkdoobiest-1290x1290.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-473604\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.spin.com\/files\/2025\/09\/Which-Doobie-U-Be-Funkdoobiest-1290x1290.png 1290w, https:\/\/static.spin.com\/files\/2025\/09\/Which-Doobie-U-Be-Funkdoobiest-340x340.png 340w, https:\/\/static.spin.com\/files\/2025\/09\/Which-Doobie-U-Be-Funkdoobiest-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/static.spin.com\/files\/2025\/09\/Which-Doobie-U-Be-Funkdoobiest-498x498.png 498w, https:\/\/static.spin.com\/files\/2025\/09\/Which-Doobie-U-Be-Funkdoobiest.png 1410w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1290px) 100vw, 1290px\"><\/figure>\n<p>It\u2019s not easy to pick a favorite Funkdoobiest song.

These days whether just driving down the street, or at home cooking and getting shit done, this album has been playing on repeat. Shout out to the brother Son Doobie who is hands down one of my favorite MCs, but also one of the realest, most humble people you can ever meet, which is what I think makes him so dope on the mic and off.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>To see our running list of the top 100 greatest rock stars of all time, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2021\/07\/the-greatest-rock-stars-of-all-time\/?utm_source=yahoo&amp;utm_medium=bottomlink&amp;utm_campaign=yahoolink\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Name\u00a0\u00a0Kyle Stoopid\u00a0 Best known for\u00a0Singer-songwriter-performer of\u00a0Slightly\u00a0Stoopid.
