" We just wanted to make something that we thought was beautiful-sounding and special, ... but how do you go about doing that? I don't know. But as far as sound goes, I don't worry about that. It takes care of itself ." Again as with all Original Recipes ...there is really not much to be said... Pavement was,is and always will be one the best and most influential bands of our generation. Pavement was a huge part of my growing up with music so much so that I take it for granted that everyone knows and loves [...]
" I don't believe in dressing up reality. I don't believe in using makeup to make things look smoother " It's The Velvets...I don't really think more needs be said. 1.) The Velvet Underground - I'm Waiting For The Man 2.) The Velvet Underground - Train Round The Bend 3.) The Velvet Underground - That's The Story Of My Life 4.) The Velvet Underground - I Can't Stand It 5.) The Velvet [...]
" We piss anywhere man. " Seriously...it is The Stones ...this had to happen. I recently made an interestink observation though...everyone says they love The Stones, but most people say things like oh Exile on Mainstreet is amazing (it is) and then says the new stuff isn't that good .I really don't listen to much of it past 1981 so...it could be great or terrible..just being honest. I firmly believe the best time for all rock was 1973 to 1978 and the Stones fit into that package. That Exile etc statement is, [...]
" Most of our fans seem to be very intelligent people who don't stand out too much, but they're still total freaks. I like that - they're smart and sadistic, which I think is a reflection at us ." Ween like most great bands/gifted musicians.. really shine live... even when they are too fucked on stage to see straight. If you have never heard live Ween, you haven't heard them at all. So , by necessity, this Original Recipe is all live cuts. 1.) Ween - Take Me Away [...]
" Just because a man lacks the use of his eyes doesn't mean he lacks vision ." 1.) Stevie Wonder - Fingertips Pts. 1 & 2 2.) Stevie Wonder - Nothing's Too Good For My Baby 3.) Stevie Wonder - Uptight (Everything's Alright) 4.) Stevie Wonder - Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo-Da-Day 5.) Stevie Wonder - You Met Your Match 6.) Stevie Wonder - Living For The City [...]
It still boggles my mind that everyone who digs music doesn't love Daniel Johnston . What is stranger to me, is that a fair amount of people haven't really heard much of him past the "hits"... if that. Admittedly, the recording quality of a bulk of his music is sub sub par, but if you can look past that(I mean seriously big whoop) you find one of the most amazing and influential american musicians ever. You would be hard pressed to find modern musicians you love that haven't been in some way influenced/fallen in love.. by/with the [...]
"I've heard it said about The Velvet Underground that while not a lot of people bought their albums, everyone who did started a band. I think this is largely true about the Pixies as well. Charles' secret weapon turned out to be not so secret and, sooner or later, all sorts of bands were exploiting the same strategy of wide dynamics. It became a kind of new pop formula and, within a short while, "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was charging up the charts and even the members of Nirvana said later that it sounded for all the world like [...]
In an age of bleeding edge , split-second cooler then you, bands blow up and burn out before you even knew who they were and had a chance to love/hate them. Blogging is not the lone gunman for this environment of near zero point, dubious obsolescence of new music . The villain/hero of this story, to a larger degree, is the ability/desire to have every bit of raw information lubelessly jammed into our every greedy orifice at 18g speeds before it happens while we are 5000 ft below the Atlantic ocean or on the surface of Mars. This call and response for omniscience has irreversibly changed the face of music. [...]
by teepoo My friend from school just got a puppy today, a buggle, and its the most adorable thing in the world. I just spent the whole afternoon/evening on it so I have puppies on my mind so here's a playlist of songs named after or about puppies. 1. Sminky- Puppies in the space 2. Pance Party- A Million Puppies 3. Viola- Puppies in the Rain 4. Animal [...]
It's a Cook Classics Beat Tape Yo! What does that mean exactly? Well when you're one of Hip-Hop's freshest and untapped producers such as Cook Classics , sometimes you just have to put on a little exhibition to show n' prove. This ain't your mama's crusty old beat tape! These are The Original Recipes - a collection of Cook Classics beats from the last few years. We managed to plug about 40 beats into a twenty minute set by the incredible DJ Seano. The tape starts with hip hop, but by the end [...]
This time around, I have Audio Two with 1988's Top Billin'. This song has been sampled three times that I'm aware of. The first and most noticeable is I Get Money. The hook and main vocal sample is lifted from a line in Top Billin'. The sample comes in at 1:03. The next is a [...]
Here's the sample that was used for Lupe's smash hit, Kick, Push. The song is called Magtaksil Man Ikaw (Bolero Medley) by Celeste Legaspi. Check under the cut for the video.
Long time, no posting. Sorry folks, but I've been soo fucking busy lately that I haven't had a chance to post anything. But to make up for it, here's the latest edition of Original Recipe, which features a classic jam that everyone knows and loves, but which samples a song that few people in our [...]
As we all know, Micahel Jackson had a huge influence on music and as you can imagine, many artists, from Public Enemy and Ice Cube to Rihanna and Kanye West have sampled his work to make their own tracks. Below are a few of the stand out tracks from the map above. Download: Ol' Dirty Bastard [...]
The jazz track Think Twice by Donald Byrd is probably one of the most sampled tracks around. It has been used by the likes of artists ranging from DJ Jazzy Jeff (Practice) and A Tribe Called Quest (Footprints) all the way to folks like Armand Van Helden (Flowerz). And on top of that, it's just [...]
A lot of people seem to be under the impression that KFC is still making their original recipe chicken with their highly touted "11 Herbs & Spices". Sorry, to burst your bubble if you're a KFC fanatic - but original recipe is designed to taste like there are 11 Herbs & Spices. You see, I used to manage a Taco Bell. Of course Taco Bell, KFC, and Pizza Hut were at that time all under the same roof. I believe it was called Yum! Brands. I'm not too sure the corporate structure of it [...]
