Sweet – The Ballroom Blitz
Billy Preston – Will It Go Round In Circles
Redman – Tonight’s da Night
Beck – Corvette Bummer
David Bowie – Love You Till Tuesday
Candi Staton – Evidence
Mantronix – Needle to the Groove
ESG – Dance
Biz Markie – Let Me Turn You On
Brass Construction – The Message (Inspiration)
Blo – Chant To Mother Earth

I put this mix together pretty quickly and after the fact, I realized some of these songs either have been sampled or have sampled some pretty cool songs. I’ve actually been meaning to put together a mix of awesome songs that have been sampled by hip hop over the years. Unintentionally, I half way did that here.

Ok, so Beastie Boys sampled one of the lines in this Sweet track – see if you can spot it.
Billy Preston was the 5th Beatle so wtf. This is a great song.
This Redman track samples Isaac Hayes’ “A Few More Kisses To Go“.
Beck’s Corvette Bummer is a b-side from the Mellow Gold days. You can get it on the Loser single.
The Bowie track is from his first record I think. At the very least it’s from when he was very young. The whole record is amazing and not like any other Bowie record.
Candi Staton has been slept on as far as I know. I couldn’t find the album I have on iTunes or Amazon.
Mantronix is some serious old school. Beck sampled this track. Won’t be hard to spot it.
ESG has been sampled a lot but not this song that I’m aware of.
This Biz track is just a feel good hit from back in the day from All Samples Cleared. It blatantly samples “Ain’t No Stoppin’ Us Now“.
N.W.A. sampled Brass Construction on “I Ain’t Tha 1“.
And finally this Blo track is apparently a popular one for the genre and it’s on an album that’s out of print and a bit pricey when found. You can get the track though on the Nigeria 70 compilation.

Life happens.
Shit happens.
And apparently eggs happen too.

Pffffft

I’ve started a new blog with Justin Peroff,
drummer of Broken Social Scene called pffffft.com (that’s 5 f’s)

I’ll be posting here still but probably not as much. Mostly this blog will be more for personal happenings and art and art shows, etc.

On that note, here’s the piece that I have in the

Message from THIS:
“So here we are, our first opening.
When came up with the idea to do THIS we had no idea how many people would get behind us and be excited about what we are trying to do. It’s been a really amazing experience already, and we haven’t even opened our doors yet.
Tomorrow night, Friday February 12th, is our inaugural event. A group show of our closest friends. We did this whole thing to showcase
our friends, the ones we already know and the ones we are going to meet.
Thats what THIS is all about.
In addition to our opening show Friday night, we will be opening our doors for the NELA art walk happening on Saturday, go to http://www.nelaart.com/ for more info.
We’ll also be having a little BBQ get together for the families and kids on Sunday the 14th from 12-3PM so all of our kids can meet and get to know each other.”
