^^how is it? Does it sound like anything of the 70s or does it sound "clean".
If I remember correct Arrested Development sampled the "All night" drums

Nice. My friend bought one those in 1991 thinking it was an album. He didn't know anything about production, and I had to explain to him why he had an album of 5-30 second "songs". The clearance rates offered in the liner notes were the most reasonable I'd ever seen. Can you imagine if more artists had done this?

true
i quote from the motherpage ( http://www.duke.edu/~tmc/motherpage/alb ... datv1.html ):
"An artist can use a sample getting a license, which is free. Then, the Clinton camp gets paid based on however much you might make from the sample."

I neither have a vinyl player, nor any decent vinyls for that matter, but I dig through Spotify. 8 milion tracks to sift through for decent samples. Some are from CD's, but some are recordings from vinyls or even stonecakes and phonograph waxes.

Now I hope I don't get problems with this. :) Since I pay 99 SEK (€9) / month I get 2 invites per month for free to give away, so all in all I got 29 invites available for anyone who wants to dig. Just PM me and I'll hook you up with an invite. :)

There is just a tiny problem with Spotify though, free accounts has poorer sound quality (iirc 160 kb/s) than Premium (who's got 320 kb/s). You'll hear commercials once in a while

Premium or not, here is 5 top notch digs from Spotify without no special order.

Bert Kaempfert - Happy trumpeter
Frank Sinatra - Love and marriage
Henry Mancini - Peter Gunn
Glenn Miller - Moonlight Serenade
Scott Joplin - Solace

Oh and btw... I don't work for Spotify, I just love their service.

Just preordered the new "Grap Luva" EP on LP. It's a very limited edition pressing, only 400 copies. Vinyl heads,INI fans, and Pete Rock fans should definitely pick this one up. If you've seen the prices for "Center of Attention" you might realize why, this one is going rare quickly.

I also just bought the new St. Vincent "Strange Mercy" Limited edition. It's alright, better than I anticipated, and I generally hate all this new generic indie music coming out (pretty much everything that is a top indie record on Amazon right now is just dull.)
