Stream: Telephoned - "We Are Young (fun. cover)" We're trying a little experiment here… Our own Maggie Horn is well into a fundraising drive for the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America, to help fund medical research into these ailments. If you want to do something good AND get a Telephoned song, DONATE to her cause and receive a download link for our new cover of Fun's "We Are Young".

The biggest news of the day is a cut from the b-side of Breakbot's upcoming first album release in September - "Programme" is 1 of 10 funk tracks for your Friday. THE OTHER big piece of news is the last track in this week's playlist - a mystery track that will be given away for free [...]

Keeping things very concise this week with only 9 tracks. I feel like the last few Friday Funk posts have been a little overwhelming with tracks anyway (sarcasm - I'm gonna post as many goddamn tracks as I want). These are all still hand selected tracks - about half are nu disco tracks that have exploded this [...]
Another monster remix from Sammy and another track jacked from the Fool's Gold blog .

Don't let the Young Jeezy throw you off, this is nothing like the original, cept for the Jeezy of course. Sammy Bananas bootleg gets my heart beat pumpin with a remix that takes Young Jeezy back to the days of disco-funk with a Progressive House style. I'd consider this more of a sampling of Young Jeezy than an actual bootleg/remix, but it's all the same shit when it comes down to it. Sammy Bananas Styles: Dance Location: Brooklyn, New York Label: Fool's [...]

Wooo damn! Pretty much everything we talk about in our day-to-day on this blog is sample based music. Mostly disco, funk, motown and soul based, these samples share the foundation that hip hop was built on. So after Brooklyn producer Sammy Bananas heard the fantastic Lenny Williams sample on Young Jeezy's hip hop track I Do , he felt compelled to give it his own treatment. Flipping the track, with the focus on the original sample and turning Young Jeezy's vocals into the supplemental sample, Mr. Bananas has created one absolutely euphoric club jam. [...]

Weekend. One of the most glorious things about the college lifestyle is the ability to structure your weeks. Mainly, the ability to have a three day-weekend and never have class before 11 should not be understated. I remember in middle school I had to wake-up at 6:45. I haven't seen what 6:45 looks like in years. Going to bed before 1? We're off that. HGH coming soon, stay chuned. Young Jeezy - I Do (Sammy Bananas Remix) Rihanna - You Da One (Tune in [...]
Telephoned are back with a new self-produced cover song. This time around it's a cover of the...
give 2:51 minutes for this and think about it then go and act DJs Against Climate Change 2011

So what we're a little bit late in discovering Good Call , the third mixtape goodie from NY cover/ mash-up-maticians Telephoned that was originally released waaaaay back in September; all that really matters is that the duo of DJ-producer Sammy Bananas and singer Maggie Horn , currently working on some all-original material, still have that magic touch when it comes to splicing together tunes from opposite ends of the music spectrum into dancefloor ecstasy. The Tom Tom Club, Theophilus London, Nicki Minaj, Best Coast, Kelly Rowland, [...]

Last night I had to relish the only Thursday appearance by my beloved Donkeys. Most everywhere will sing the praises of a last minute drive directed by Tebow that ended up winning the game. However, the defense led by a ferocious rookie, Von Miller, is making opposing QB's pay play after play. On one of Miller's sacks, Von landed his helmet in Sanchez's sternum and plowed him to the ground. I winced upon watching the replay and the reaction from Sanchez's face was priceless to see him get back up to continue the punishment. Elvis "Doom" Dummervil [...]
![Brandon's TBE Digest 29 – [10.11.2011] New Jams, Remixes, & Covers!](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3782321_lg.jpg)
Artwork by Jacob Youngblood Ziegler Brandon's TBE Digest is a place where I gather up all the recent jams that are worth a listen (or 10) but don't necessarily need their own post. Here you will find new tracks by known bands, remixes, covers, and even mashups if they are interesting. My favorites of the lot are in bold . It's a big one folks. Proceed with caution (and good speakers). Also note the new Digest logo that will be here to stay. Enough of that little weird cartoon guy [...]

Last Thursday, Jess and I had a chance to catch Chromeo , Mayer Hawthorne , and Sammy Bananas as they swung through Boulder, Colorado, on their Night Falls Tour . Having been a fan of all three artists for some time, we were pretty damn psyched. Sammy Bananas warmed up the crowd, which unfortunately, was small at the time of his performance. However, I was blown away by his set. I could easily see myself dropping dime to see him if he came through one [...]

Destapaos bien las orejas porque esto es muuuuuy cafre! Que pasa cuando dos enormes DJs/Productores se juntan para hacer cositas? Pues que se lia muy gorda! Y si no pensad [....]

Maîtres incontestés des platines, Thee Mike B et Sammy Bananas se sont levés tôt le jour de leur anniversaire pour courir au studio et nous pondre une poignée de tracks disco à souhait. Réunis sous le nom de Fifteenth (qui est le jour de leur anniversaire), les deux compères nous transmettent leur énergie débordante à travers un EP, 15 , sorti aujourd'hui sur le label Fool's Gold et apparemment ce n'est que l'début ! Fifteenth - [...]
