Nina Simone and a fantastic sample

A "sampler and sampled" post.

Talib Kweli - Get By (Quality)


Nina Simone - Sinnerman (Anthology)


And let me just say that the Nina Simone Anthology is a fantastic collection that should not be missed. Check out a selection here.

Yahoo! Media Player

We've now adorned ourselves with the Yahoo! Media Player, which plays mp3s linked on this page in a handy flash player at the lower left corner. Just to test it out, here are a few random tracks.

MC5 - Gotta Keep Movin' (High Time)
The Rock of Travolta - Keep Them All Afraid and They'll Consume (Silver Rocket SR50) (pop quiz: name that sample!)
Juno - You Are the Beautiful Conductor of This Orchestra (A Future Lived in Past Tense)
