More recently, somebody mashed up various Wu Tang Clan songs w/ The Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour.  (I think.  Again, my knowledge of Beatles' discography is severely lacking.)  Nothing I heard really blew me away, but I did enjoy the reworkings of some of the Beatles' interviews and outtakes, strangely enough.  :-}

OH, one of my goddamn most favorite mash-ups EVAR is JayZ's Black Album with Weezer's Blue Album.  It just *works*, and I love how in doing the remix, the guy ended up with a newfound respect and admiration for rap in general and Jay-Z in particular.

Funny thing is I don't think I know *any* of these Jay-Z songs outside of hearing them on this remix.  So I probably wouldn't recognize them or appreciate them if I did happen to hear them.

At the gym this afternoon, I hear a rap record that sampled "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"  -- no idea who it was, but it seems to me I've never heard a Beatle song sampled by a rapper before... am I wrong?

Oh, re: samples.  This is a great resource:  http://www.whosampled.com/artist/The%20Beatles/

Alas, their definition of sampling, also apparently includes somebody else singing a snippet, which is why I just had to hear Biz Markie butcher (in the cute way he butchers everybody) "Can't Buy Me Love".  :-}

On the other hand I also got to hear a bit of Bowie's "Young Americans" which I had forgotten had "sampled" the line, "I heard the news today oh boy" in the final vamp (or whatever it's called.)

Oh yeah, the Beasties's sample of "The End" is pretty hard to dispute here:  http://www.whosampled.com/sample/view/5030/Beastie%20Boys-The%20Sounds%20of%20Science_The%20Beatles-The%20End/

Although that was from Paul's Boutique, which I believe was a watershed in sampling as we knew it, where music was sampled pretty freely, *without* getting clearances beforehand.  Moving forward, to avoid litigation (and probably to save some cash), I think other rap and hip-hop producers found it was easier and cheaper to simply hire studio musicians to recreate a particular hook or sample that they wanted to use, thereby only having to pay composer royalties instead of performance royalties?

I think.  I once read about this somewhere -- will try to find a link.

Sorry, Paul's Boutique was one of the last great albums to feature uncleared samples *before* this landmark case:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Upright_Music,_Ltd._v._Warner_Bros._Records_Inc.

Well, according to that list, it must've been Wu-Tang I heard. Jeezus, that list would be 1/3 shorter without Stars on 45!

Oh, re: samples.  This is a great resource:  http://www.whosampled.com/artist/

Is there a similar resource somewhere for snippets that are replicated in a different song, but not digitally sampled?

For example, if you listen to the first 10 seconds of this famous 1964 jazz composition, you will very clearly hear recognizable elements used in big '70's hits by two quite different artists.

OK, one's a dead ripoff of this tune, not even changed a little bit by the Dan. What's the second one?
Let's get right to it.

Some of today's young acts have new tribute CDs to Hall & Oates.  Article includes videos from recent The Bird & the Bee concert with surprise guest John Oates:

I'm late to the party (as was KFOG) on this One Eskimo song, "Kandi"  -- holy crap, it samples Candi Staton's "He called Me Baby"! I'm not the biggest sampling fan, but in this case: Genius!

Oddly, that was like the one song per year that KFOG actually wasn't late on  (they added it back when it was around #30 on the chart as opposed to #1 or #2) -- although, they did lay off it for awhile and just recently started re-spinning it again.

But speaking of late,  KFOG sets a new low; they just added 1901. ::)  After playing it on their new music hour for what...a year?

And Use Somebody is not new music, they need to stop playing the "here's something new" sweeper before that.  They even added that one back in 2008.
