Zan Rowe of ABC Australia’s Triple J Radio reposted a past audio interview she did with Mike Diamond. The interview was recorded in 2014 when Mike was in Australia to promote Monster Children magazine.

The theme of the show was “Five Songs from the Five Boroughs.” Rowe asked Mike to choose five songs to represent New York City. Mike chose the following songs:

1. Notorious B.I.G. - “Juicy”
2. The Strokes - “12:51”
3. Nas - “N.Y. State of Mind”
4. ESG - “Moody”
5. Wu-Tang Clan - “C.R.E.A.M.”

Mike also gave shout-outs to Liquid Liquid, A$AP Ferg, Run-DMC, A Tribe Called Quest, The Ramones, Big Daddy Kane, and KRS-1, among other New York City–based musicians.
