Don't worry about it - everything has been sampled already - just ask jpeg...

Dolo wrote:Enough crate diggers have been buying up alot of dope records over the years - in most cases, they were finding and buying records when I was still wearing Pampers. I only started digging about 9 years ago, and I live in the UK. It's not like we have a gamut of amazing funk records like in the US.

Yeah, but there are dope records that only came out in the UK. Same is true for every country. You just gotta do the knowledge and research things a bit. There has also been diggers and heavy collecting going on in the states for years as well - so don't stress that - it's not like every store has a mint copy of Maceo & All the King's Men...

haha, I know the feeling. Barry holds it down in the thrifts over here, too...

Dolo wrote:Finding something, sampling it, and then discovering it's already been used already happens - hell, I found out Madlib used a sample which had already been used. Didn't even flip it all that differently. What a disappointment, Madlib is one of my heroes!

Next we will have another thread about sampling MP3's and our thoughts on it. Where to find records. Who sampled this or that record, soundclip or youtube video. & finally if it's ok for one to sample in such and such way.

Yeah, ha ha! Dick.

Look at the main page. My statement has come true.

Yeah, searching for **** nowadays is mad under-rated.

And so is not being a knob-end.

I wouldn't know, not being a knob-end in the first place.


Anyways, you're in the UK too right? There are plenty of records out there for us to sample. Have you visited the vinyl vulture website? Plenty of truth and knowledge dropped on the types of records found over here without any focus on crazy raer funk or the jazz sounds our overseas brethren seem to find so easily.

We've got mad library records over here for starters and our french and german friends have mad library labels too. Plus there's super obscure private press big band funk the likes of which will never get seen outside the UK.

Dig a little and you shall find.

Yeah - if we took jpegs advice we'd all just give up and sample off the internets anyway, what with the trade in mp3 soundtracks nowadays, eh buddy?

On a cloudy morning a wind of change will blow and samples will be given a new life. We shall all be free to sample what we like for we will no longer be troubled by those who sought them out before us.

PS: Dolo if I'm a "Dick" than you're the pussy.

Miaow.
