He said: “We have always suspected a link between music taste and personality. This is the first time that we’ve been able to …

Heres a new feature from us here at the Finger. We will try to review some of the most important lps, 12′s, ep’s and cassettes of our `Yoof’. Things that were formative in our taste in music, clothing and even haircuts.
I’ll kick it off with this lil beauty from days as a store boy at Jenny Craig’s in Glendene
Paul’s Boutique – Beastie Boys
We all know the modern day Beasties as the Tibet loving, jazz noodling, punk, rap outfit who had it all going in the late 90′s. Not to mention …
