'Police and Thieves' is a great track by Junior Murvin to get your riot themed playlist started.
Sunday Samples
Here at a fatmommas project we love sampling, it is a major part of hip hop culture and undeniably popular music now. Taking what is old, unheard of, or forgotten about and recreating something new is a major skill in itself. Artists such has J Dilla, Dj Shadow, Daft Punk and Dangermouse unashamedly use samples and have done it very well. A lot of people think it is illegal to sample, but it is not. Many of the original artist's receive royalties when their music is used and some even experience a boost or rebirth in their careers. Whole genres like drum and bass have immerged around particular drum loops and samples, so who knows with todays technology what new style sampling could bring. If you are into hip hop and/or classic soul check out the live mix in the link above. This mix reminds us why we love the music we love and do the things we do here at a fatmommas project. The mix contains heaps of original breaks and samples and was done with original vinyl pressings by the infamous Dj Sheep At Weird Gear in Brisbane. Check him out if you get a chance.
Most Expensive Photo Ever
This self portrait of Cindy Sherman was taken in 1981. When the photo was recently put up for auction
it sold for a massive $3,890,500. Thats right, one photo. I like this photo, why? Maybe
because of the colours and the layout. Maybe its in the eyes and pose or maybe because its expensive.
Anyway off to take some photos of myself, peace.
Ella Fitzgerald "Night & Day"
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall
Like the drip drip drip of the raindrops
When the summer shower is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you
Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon AND under the sun
Whether near to me, or far
It's no matter darling where you are
I think of you
NIGHT AND DAY, DAY AND NIGHT, why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
NIGHT AND DAY, NIGHT AND DAY
Under the hide of me
There's an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And ITS torment won't be through
'TIL you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night, night and day
Under the hide of me
There's an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And ITS torment won't be through
'TIL you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night, night and day
Ella Fitzgerald
The BoomBox Project

The more I listen to this the more I like it. Great African Funk and jazz mixed with accapellas from Wutangs Ghostface. Max Tannone has done a couple of good mash up albums but this one really hits the spot. And its free, Download links above.
