After listening to Thundercat’s Golden Age of Apocalypse album for the first time in 2011, I fell in love with his very hypnotizing track entitled For Love I Come, a cover of George Duke’s 1975 For Love (I Come Your Friend). Thundercat also samples Duke’s song in his thematic track entitled Hoooooooo, in case his …Read More
You’re driving along the edge of a cliff. It’s sundown and there’s an ocean next to you. It’s gorgeous. Not to mention, it’s the year 1982 and you’re driving a beautiful 1954 sexy red Buick Sylark. The top is down and you’re feeling the music… Ghost Walk – Budos Band Ya know? That’s how I …Read More
Big Gigantic unveils their newest album Nocturnal this week – weeks before their biggest tour yet. I think this is their first headliner tour, as they usual just do festivals. I saw these guys at 2am in a cleared out barn at The Big Up festival last summer and lets just say I remember them …Read More
I’ve been really curious about Thundercat’s upcoming solo album entitled the Golden Age of Apocalypse produced by Flying Lotus. The artist first caught my attention when I first heard Flying Lotus‘ masterpiece album Cosmogramma which featured him in the track “MmmHmm”, leaving me hungry for more of that magical bass playing of his. Anyways, I’ve …Read More
I’ve been hearing a lot of smack about Amy Winehouse’s death. I’ve over heard people saying how they don’t really care and read dozens of sarcastic comments on people’s “R.I.P Amy Winehouse” facebook statuses saying “she shoulda gone to rehab” or some other sort of retarded status update along the lines. Regardless of how she …Read More

As you guys have probably noticed by now already, I normally don’t post every single track that a song samples, however today I went on a little record hunt to try and get some of these 12″ records that Pharcyde samples for their Passing Me By hit that they’re so famous for, and since I …Read More
It’s time to do another Tribe Called Quest track fro Sample Sundays. I realized that it’s these subtle samples that really make Tribe so unique… really it’s all in the details. Keep It Moving samples the guitar from Howard Robert’s Road Work, Tribe sped it up quite a bit for Keep It Moving, and it …Read More
I couldn’t find the original of this sample to post as an mp3 but I just HAD to put it up on Sample Sundays. Jamie Cullum is this incredible jazz/pop musician from England that for some reason never got too famous here in Canada or the US. I always thought of him as a way …Read More
I dare you to tell me this music by Archie Whitewater isn’t perfect to study to. Come on, try me! So I’m probably in one of my last classes of my second year in University (yes this was written sleepy eyed last night), so please just appreciate it for what it is, calming and brilliant …Read More
