Evolution of a sample

Yeah, that "song" you love is just a sample of a sample of a sample.

Bruce Springsteen - "My Hometown" / Sharon Van Etten - "One Day"

Had a dream early this morning that included the spontaneous humming of both of these songs with a stranger or room of strangers. Cheesy but lovely.

Nick Waterhouse - "Some Place"

Excellent cinematography and editing in this new showing from Nick Waterhouse.

Donny Hathaway - "Love, Love, Love"

Donny, take me away...

Eric B. & Rakim - "What's On Your Mind"

Perfect hot summer night jam.

Pickwick -"Live From The Basement"

Massive tambourine action going on right here.

Tolga - "Lovin' Fool"

Freestyle Friday!

Exposé - "Point Of No Return"

Freestyle Friday!

Heart. Totally. Broken. (via Braiker)

Brenda. K. Starr - "Suspicion" (f. Adam Yauch)

Special Freestyle Friday tribute to Adam Yauch who gets in a few short lines towards the end of this 1985 Brenda K. Starr dance track. Rumored to have been a production assistant on this record, Yauch lends some sweetly innocent rhymes playing the part of the jealous boyfriend opposite Starr's pleading girlfriend. Bonus points for the cheesy video mashup of Starr and Yauch clips. RIP MCA. You'll be missed terribly.
