	3:03pm Funky16Corners: Hey Matt!
	3:07pm Jeff Ash: Boogie check! Greetings from Wisconsin!
	3:07pm Funky16Corners: Hey Jeff!
	3:08pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Present... good afternoon :)
	3:08pm Funky16Corners: Vincent!
	3:09pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Still frantically looking for that Al Hirt record too...
	3:10pm Matt from New Orleans: Hey Vincent
	3:10pm Funky16Corners: Did you ever imagine that there would be an Al Hirt album that was hard to find? You can thank De La for that.
	3:10pm Sem: Hiya, Larry, and Testifiers. Cooking, and listening to the cookin'.
	3:10pm Hubig Pie: Me thinks that a judge ruled Sugarhill records owed some royalties and instead they declared bankruptcy, is that close to right ?
	3:10pm Funky16Corners: Hey Sem!
	3:10pm Erica: Hi Testifiers!
	3:10pm Funky16Corners: HubigPie! Erica!
	3:11pm Erica: Ready for the Sample show part 1
	3:12pm Funky16Corners: @HubigPie - I don't know any details about that, but it's so early in the sampling days anything is possible
	3:13pm Erica: Happy whatever night of Hanukkah left Larry! Haha!
	3:13pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Erica!
	3:13pm Matt from New Orleans: Larry there’s a DJ night in Brooklyn called Soul in the Horn founded by Natasha Diggs & DProsper
	3:13pm Erica: I lost count Larry. Sorry.
	3:14pm Funky16Corners: @Matt - Cool! I didn't know that
	3:14pm northguineahills: Larry and Testifyers!
	3:14pm Matt from New Orleans: Tonight’s the last night Erica. It’s number 8.
	3:15pm Funky16Corners: NGH!
	3:15pm Mike Sin: Close mics on the drums in the '70s really lent itself to sampling. Push up that low end and bass drum pounds!
	3:16pm Erica: Thanks Matt!
	3:16pm Funky16Corners: Hey Mike!
	🥁 3:16pm Yvang: A french rapper sampled "Me & The Biz" as well in the nineties www.youtube.com...
	3:17pm Funky16Corners: @Yvang - When I was doing research I was shocked on how many of the sampling songs were themselves sampled
	3:17pm doctorjazz: We got about 5 inches of snow-not as bad as the prediction, but still a pain to clear this morning. (I try to remember being a kid and happy that it snowed).
	3:19pm SquigY0: hi Larry! I'm ready to sample your warez
	🥁 3:19pm Yvang: First and second hand samples...
	3:20pm doctorjazz: Last night of Chanukah, hopefully my daughter will make latkes again (she's been raising my cholesterol all week).
	3:21pm doctorjazz: I get to look cool when my daughter is listening to current pop, and I tell her what they sampled.
	3:23pm doctorjazz: Saw Liquid Liquid in the 80s, at Danceteria, I believe.
	3:23pm northguineahills: drools latkes (the only decent jewish deli here is temporarily closed and thrice as expensive as NYC anyways.
	3:24pm Funky16Corners: SquigY0!
	3:24pm northguineahills: I saw Liquid Liquid when they reformed in around 2012.
	3:25pm SquigY0: bows
	3:25pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - No latkes yet this year... (sad face)
	🥁 3:25pm dutchtheo: This Shack up was covered by A Certain Ratio. That was James Black, drumming with Eddie & Inez
	3:25pm Funky16Corners: BTW My in-laws live up by Albany, they got 27 inches of snow.
	3:26pm SquigY0: that's like a Tuesday for Albany though ain't it? :D
	3:26pm CalZone!: Howdy LG!
	3:26pm Funky16Corners: Well, they generally get a lot more than we do, but that was severe
	3:26pm Funky16Corners: Cal!
	3:27pm Erica: The Magic Number by De la Soul also sampled Peg by Steely Dan.
	3:27pm SquigY0: HA! nice
	3:28pm Funky16Corners: California, knows how to party!
	3:28pm northguineahills: Put as if I wrote it myself, Larry! (except, I got to funk via hiphop)
	3:28pm Erica: Sorry my post took too long.
	3:28pm doctorjazz: Home have are the best (but Trader Joe's will do in a pinch). One great thing about having my daughter shelter with us on the COVID world, after fleeing Manhattan, is that she loves to cook.
	3:29pm Funky16Corners: Maybe I'll do latkes next week
	3:30pm northguineahills: I randomly djed w/ Martin Moscrop of A Certain Ratio. I showed up, and my dj partner said, you have no idea who's going on after us!
	3:32pm Funky16Corners: That's cool!
	3:32pm SquigY0: oh what's Golden is a jam. as is this! though so bassy!
	3:33pm Funky16Corners: Love Jurassic 5!
	3:34pm northguineahills: (for y'alls out there, cook/dj for hire. you just have to put up w/ my quips). Will work to get the bloody hell out of FL.
	3:34pm SquigY0: I'm trying to get INTO FL. perhaps we should trade :D
	3:35pm Funky16Corners: I'm worried that when it all goes to shit Florida is going to be all retirees and secessionist kooks
	3:35pm northguineahills: I have some Jurassic 5 on wax for sale. Sounds fair, SquigY0!
	3:35pm SquigY0: certainly won't be boring company :D
	3:36pm northguineahills: FL will be back in the blue once the retirees die off....
	3:37pm northguineahills: The cities here are actually nice, but once you step outside, it's either Karen suburbia or the deep south.
	3:38pm Funky16Corners: It's like that outside of Atlanta, too. I was shocked at how quickly the landscape devolved once you drove out of town
	3:38pm SquigY0: one day Karen's gonna speak up for herself
	3:38pm SquigY0: ...to your manager
	3:38pm doctorjazz: All right, time for my MRI, catch y'all later.
	3:38pm Funky16Corners: Central NJ is a native habitat for the wild Karen
	3:39pm SquigY0: gl doc
	3:39pm Funky16Corners: Good luck, Doc!
	3:39pm Erica: Karen suburbia? I'll bet all those people would want to speak with your manager. Haha!
	3:39pm SquigY0: good thing is limited managers so they gonna have to wait, then will want to speak to your manager's manager cause they had to wait so long
	3:40pm Erica: The only Karen memes I like are the cat Karen memes.
	3:42pm Erica: "Where's your spray bottle now Karen?"
	3:42pm SquigY0: Also a Terrentino favorite
	3:43pm Funky16Corners: Yes!
	3:43pm Erica: Kill Bill.
	3:44pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Also sampled by Above The Law on "Untouchable"
	3:48pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Chef! Please fee free to add on if I missed anything important.
	3:51pm northguineahills: I've mentioned it before, but Gainesville is the libbiest lib town I lived in (and I lived in Brooklyn). But, once you go outside city limits, it's Deliverance Kuntry.
	3:52pm Funky16Corners: It's that way in a lot of places, and the MAGATS talk about the cities like they don't count. I wonder why...
	3:55pm Funky16Corners: This is my favorite break of all time. I was shocked when I finally picked up the LP how different the track is compared to the 45
	3:58pm Funky16Corners: Wisconsin's own, Harvey Scales!
	3:58pm northguineahills: I suppose we're going to get the Amen of all Amen breaks....
	3:59pm Sem: Saw recently a short video on the Amen break. Now your show. On a roll!
	3:59pm Funky16Corners: Not this week.
	🥁 3:59pm Brian in UK: Is this an advertisement for Hades?
	4:00pm northguineahills: @Sem: jinx!
	4:00pm Funky16Corners: Hell would never be this funky...
	4:00pm Sem: Maybe for dancing fools, BiUK.
	4:00pm Funky16Corners: BTW, if you're not suitably funked up, the next track will do the trick
	🥁 4:02pm Brian in UK: Tony Toni Tone's Sons of Soul is a bit hit in this house. I couldn't keep it to myself.
	4:02pm SquigY0: oh man, I've been trying to funk responsibly!!
	4:03pm northguineahills: No one else gets my Tony Toni Tone jokes/references.
	🥁 4:05pm Brian in UK: My ex girlfriend is a whore, cracks me up.
	4:05pm dreamyandseedy: NOTHING can touch ZAPP
	4:05pm Erica: Sorry we don't ngh.
	4:05pm Funky16Corners: BTW the vocoder guy on this track is Roger Troutman, who appears on California Love by Tupac and Dr Dre
	4:05pm Funky16Corners: Hey Dreamy!
	4:05pm SquigY0: NICE!!!!
	4:07pm dreamyandseedy: those first 2 ZAPP albums, every single track!!!! so damn good
	4:07pm Funky16Corners: Absolutely! I have to shout out to my man Chris in DC who put me onto Zapp back in the day.
	4:08pm Matt from New Orleans: I’m not sure I ever read why Larry, his brother, shot Roger and then killed himself
	4:08pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, very sad story
	🥁 4:08pm Brian in UK: Shake it like a polaroid picture and get sued.
	4:09pm dreamyandseedy: if anyone follows dust to digital on IG they had a cool video of Roger singing part of I heard it thru the grapevine, he was wearing this stunning gold outfit
	4:11pm northguineahills: I borrowed my bros' Disney + (I think it was that streaming service), just to see the Beastie Boys doc).
	4:11pm northguineahills: @Brian: Like Atlanta's finest, the Outkast?
	4:12pm Funky16Corners: I have Disney +, I'll have to look for that
	🥁 4:12pm Brian in UK: Thought Ms Jackson was in Alabama.
	4:13pm northguineahills: @Larry: Make sure you have tissues around, (for joy and sorrow).
	4:13pm Funky16Corners: I believe that.
	4:14pm northguineahills: Ms Jackson, is supposed to take place in AL, but the OutKast are definitely from the home the dirty South, ATL...
	4:16pm SquigY0: bonus Larry!
	🥁 4:20pm Brian in UK: Larry, now you mention it I used to have Smack Water Jack. Wherediditgo?
	🥁 4:22pm Brian in UK: Is that Cheech & Chong?
	4:23pm Funky16Corners: The title "adapted" from Cheech and Chong
	4:23pm Funky16Corners: BTW this is Chuck Brown's Soul Searchers, later pioneers of the Go Go movement in DC
	4:24pm Funky16Corners: I really cannot understand how this song was not a huge hit
	4:24pm SquigY0: questionable subject matter in the title?
	4:25pm Funky16Corners: Maybe, but it was the 70s where you could walk into any mainstream shopping mall and buy a roach clip, so who knows
	4:25pm northguineahills: I might have to scour this playlist later to see if I have any of these rekkids, still (to sell)
	4:25pm Vincent The Soul Chef: This LP still eludes me, although I do have all the singles from it...
	4:25pm Funky16Corners: Here it comes...
	4:26pm SquigY0: there's dat beat!
	4:26pm northguineahills: I thought a roach clip was just a bobby pin...
	4:26pm Funky16Corners: Lots of biggies to come next week, too!
	4:28pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Hi Larry, late but love what I'm hearing!
	4:28pm doctorjazz: Just finished, haven't had one of those yet (closed mri), man, terrible, endless test. If you ever need one (the closed, whole body kind), I recommend learning/practicing meditation. I think you that's what got me through without asking for a break.
	4:28pm Funky16Corners: Hey Hopey!
	4:29pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - I have a tendency to claustrophobia. The idea of a closed MRI gives me the chills
	4:29pm Erica: Hi Hopey.
	4:31pm Funky16Corners: Here's an example of a record that was not only sampled dozens and dozens of times, but also imitated/re-created widely
	4:32pm Funky16Corners: The drums in Fools Gold by the Stone Roses for instance
	4:33pm doctorjazz: I'm not so claustrophobic, but that can make one claustrophobic. And, it was ordered for lower back pain-it required lying on my back on exactly the spot that hurts. Just did my breathing, counted/focused on my breathing, I think it really helped.
	4:34pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Oh, I should add that none other than Peter Murphy also sampled "Ashley's Roachclip" on "Roll Call Pt. 2" in 1989...
	4:35pm Funky16Corners: Really!?!? I'll have to look for that!
	🥁 4:36pm Brian in UK: doctorjazz, did they let you take some music into the chamber?
	4:36pm Vincent The Soul Chef: @Larry: Yep, on the album "Deep"... or the 12" single for "Cuts You Up"
	4:41pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Oh wow, I haven't heard Misdemeanor in YEARS. Great pick, Larry!
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: Such a great record!
	🥁 4:42pm Brian in UK: Two Fools Gold bands. First supporting the much maligned Dan Fogelberg. Second from the West, great African rhythms and singing in Hebrew.
	4:43pm Funky16Corners: I wrote up the Foster Sylvers track a while back: funky16corners.com...
	4:43pm doctorjazz: @BiUK, nope! They gave me headphones that I assume was to block out some of the noise (didn't seem to, but I didn't try with them off), but no music (20 years ago I had an mri of my knee, not as bad. First, only the one goes in the machine. And they did let me bring music to listen to.
	4:44pm Phillippe Bastille: howdy
	🥁 4:44pm Brian in UK: I am seeing Jeremy's flute as a snake charmer and the womans legs as the snake. do I need a laydown?
	4:44pm Funky16Corners: Did anyone see this used in Shrek as the Pied Piper's music?
	4:44pm Funky16Corners: Hey Phillippe!
	4:45pm Funky16Corners: Shrek, of course, written by Jeremy Steig's father, William Steig
	4:45pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - I see that as an acceptable explanation
	4:45pm northguineahills: Any Dilla samples?
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: Not that I know of
	4:49pm northguineahills: I know I have hiphop that sampled the Beach Boys, but, I don't have access to my rekkids, and the track is eluding my brain...
	4:49pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I still say that the UK remix of "Pump Up The Volume" is far superior to the US version...
	4:50pm Funky16Corners: Did someone sample 'Do It Again' by the Beach Boys?
	4:50pm Funky16Corners: @Vincent - LOVE Pump Up the Volume
	4:53pm northguineahills: @Vincent: I have that version! (UK)
	🥁 4:54pm dutchtheo: Thanks, Larry! Air.. www.whosampled.com...
	🥁 4:55pm Brian in UK: I was blown away when I realised that I had one track on DJ Shadow's Entroducing
	4:55pm Funky16Corners: A lot of that Shadow stuff is unspeakably obscure.
	4:56pm Vincent The Soul Chef: @ northguineahills: Yup. 4AD catalog no. BAD 707R... it's the only one that matters :)
	🥁 4:57pm Brian in UK: The album was barely released over here so how did he hear it. Completely nuts, bit like this station!
	4:58pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Another fantastic show! I hope I'm off next Thursday :)
	4:58pm Matt from New Orleans: Thanks Larry. Great stuff. Looking forward to part 2.
	🥁 4:59pm Yvang: Thanks Larry for unearthing the roots!
	4:59pm northguineahills: Thanks Larry!
	5:00pm Erica: Can't wait for part 2 either Matt.
	5:00pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Great show! I look forward to listening to the whole thing in the archives.
	5:00pm northguineahills: Oh, yeah, I have psyche record mix by Shadow!
	🥁 5:03pm Brian in UK: The crazy English took Endtroducing out live. bandonthewall.org... Thanks Larry.
	5:04pm Erica: See you guys next week guys!
	5:04pm Funky16Corners: Thanks all! See you next week!

	3:23pm northguineahills: drools latkes (the only decent jewish deli here is temporarily closed and thrice as expensive as NYC anyways.
	3:24pm Funky16Corners: SquigY0!
	3:24pm northguineahills: I saw Liquid Liquid when they reformed in around 2012.
	3:25pm SquigY0: bows
	3:25pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - No latkes yet this year... (sad face)
	🥁 3:25pm dutchtheo: This Shack up was covered by A Certain Ratio. That was James Black, drumming with Eddie & Inez
	3:25pm Funky16Corners: BTW My in-laws live up by Albany, they got 27 inches of snow.
	3:26pm SquigY0: that's like a Tuesday for Albany though ain't it? :D
	3:26pm CalZone!: Howdy LG!
	3:26pm Funky16Corners: Well, they generally get a lot more than we do, but that was severe
	3:26pm Funky16Corners: Cal!
	3:27pm Erica: The Magic Number by De la Soul also sampled Peg by Steely Dan.
	3:27pm SquigY0: HA! nice
	3:28pm Funky16Corners: California, knows how to party!
	3:28pm northguineahills: Put as if I wrote it myself, Larry! (except, I got to funk via hiphop)
	3:28pm Erica: Sorry my post took too long.
	3:28pm doctorjazz: Home have are the best (but Trader Joe's will do in a pinch). One great thing about having my daughter shelter with us on the COVID world, after fleeing Manhattan, is that she loves to cook.
	3:29pm Funky16Corners: Maybe I'll do latkes next week
	3:30pm northguineahills: I randomly djed w/ Martin Moscrop of A Certain Ratio. I showed up, and my dj partner said, you have no idea who's going on after us!
	3:32pm Funky16Corners: That's cool!
	3:32pm SquigY0: oh what's Golden is a jam. as is this! though so bassy!
	3:33pm Funky16Corners: Love Jurassic 5!
	3:34pm northguineahills: (for y'alls out there, cook/dj for hire. you just have to put up w/ my quips). Will work to get the bloody hell out of FL.
	3:34pm SquigY0: I'm trying to get INTO FL. perhaps we should trade :D
	3:35pm Funky16Corners: I'm worried that when it all goes to shit Florida is going to be all retirees and secessionist kooks
	3:35pm northguineahills: I have some Jurassic 5 on wax for sale. Sounds fair, SquigY0!
	3:35pm SquigY0: certainly won't be boring company :D
	3:36pm northguineahills: FL will be back in the blue once the retirees die off....
	3:37pm northguineahills: The cities here are actually nice, but once you step outside, it's either Karen suburbia or the deep south.
	3:38pm Funky16Corners: It's like that outside of Atlanta, too. I was shocked at how quickly the landscape devolved once you drove out of town
	3:38pm SquigY0: one day Karen's gonna speak up for herself
	3:38pm SquigY0: ...to your manager
	3:38pm doctorjazz: All right, time for my MRI, catch y'all later.
	3:38pm Funky16Corners: Central NJ is a native habitat for the wild Karen
	3:39pm SquigY0: gl doc
	3:39pm Funky16Corners: Good luck, Doc!
	3:39pm Erica: Karen suburbia? I'll bet all those people would want to speak with your manager. Haha!
	3:39pm SquigY0: good thing is limited managers so they gonna have to wait, then will want to speak to your manager's manager cause they had to wait so long
	3:40pm Erica: The only Karen memes I like are the cat Karen memes.
	3:42pm Erica: "Where's your spray bottle now Karen?"
	3:42pm SquigY0: Also a Terrentino favorite
	3:43pm Funky16Corners: Yes!
	3:43pm Erica: Kill Bill.
	3:44pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Also sampled by Above The Law on "Untouchable"
	3:48pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Chef! Please fee free to add on if I missed anything important.
	3:51pm northguineahills: I've mentioned it before, but Gainesville is the libbiest lib town I lived in (and I lived in Brooklyn). But, once you go outside city limits, it's Deliverance Kuntry.
	3:52pm Funky16Corners: It's that way in a lot of places, and the MAGATS talk about the cities like they don't count. I wonder why...
	3:55pm Funky16Corners: This is my favorite break of all time. I was shocked when I finally picked up the LP how different the track is compared to the 45
	3:58pm Funky16Corners: Wisconsin's own, Harvey Scales!
	3:58pm northguineahills: I suppose we're going to get the Amen of all Amen breaks....
	3:59pm Sem: Saw recently a short video on the Amen break. Now your show. On a roll!
	3:59pm Funky16Corners: Not this week.
	🥁 3:59pm Brian in UK: Is this an advertisement for Hades?
	4:00pm northguineahills: @Sem: jinx!
	4:00pm Funky16Corners: Hell would never be this funky...
	4:00pm Sem: Maybe for dancing fools, BiUK.
	4:00pm Funky16Corners: BTW, if you're not suitably funked up, the next track will do the trick
	🥁 4:02pm Brian in UK: Tony Toni Tone's Sons of Soul is a bit hit in this house. I couldn't keep it to myself.
	4:02pm SquigY0: oh man, I've been trying to funk responsibly!!
	4:03pm northguineahills: No one else gets my Tony Toni Tone jokes/references.
	🥁 4:05pm Brian in UK: My ex girlfriend is a whore, cracks me up.
	4:05pm dreamyandseedy: NOTHING can touch ZAPP
	4:05pm Erica: Sorry we don't ngh.
	4:05pm Funky16Corners: BTW the vocoder guy on this track is Roger Troutman, who appears on California Love by Tupac and Dr Dre
	4:05pm Funky16Corners: Hey Dreamy!
	4:05pm SquigY0: NICE!!!!
	4:07pm dreamyandseedy: those first 2 ZAPP albums, every single track!!!! so damn good
	4:07pm Funky16Corners: Absolutely! I have to shout out to my man Chris in DC who put me onto Zapp back in the day.
	4:08pm Matt from New Orleans: I’m not sure I ever read why Larry, his brother, shot Roger and then killed himself
	4:08pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, very sad story
	🥁 4:08pm Brian in UK: Shake it like a polaroid picture and get sued.
	4:09pm dreamyandseedy: if anyone follows dust to digital on IG they had a cool video of Roger singing part of I heard it thru the grapevine, he was wearing this stunning gold outfit
	4:11pm northguineahills: I borrowed my bros' Disney + (I think it was that streaming service), just to see the Beastie Boys doc).
	4:11pm northguineahills: @Brian: Like Atlanta's finest, the Outkast?
	4:12pm Funky16Corners: I have Disney +, I'll have to look for that
	🥁 4:12pm Brian in UK: Thought Ms Jackson was in Alabama.
	4:13pm northguineahills: @Larry: Make sure you have tissues around, (for joy and sorrow).
	4:13pm Funky16Corners: I believe that.
	4:14pm northguineahills: Ms Jackson, is supposed to take place in AL, but the OutKast are definitely from the home the dirty South, ATL...
	4:16pm SquigY0: bonus Larry!
	🥁 4:20pm Brian in UK: Larry, now you mention it I used to have Smack Water Jack. Wherediditgo?
	🥁 4:22pm Brian in UK: Is that Cheech & Chong?
	4:23pm Funky16Corners: The title "adapted" from Cheech and Chong
	4:23pm Funky16Corners: BTW this is Chuck Brown's Soul Searchers, later pioneers of the Go Go movement in DC
	4:24pm Funky16Corners: I really cannot understand how this song was not a huge hit
	4:24pm SquigY0: questionable subject matter in the title?
	4:25pm Funky16Corners: Maybe, but it was the 70s where you could walk into any mainstream shopping mall and buy a roach clip, so who knows
	4:25pm northguineahills: I might have to scour this playlist later to see if I have any of these rekkids, still (to sell)
	4:25pm Vincent The Soul Chef: This LP still eludes me, although I do have all the singles from it...
	4:25pm Funky16Corners: Here it comes...
	4:26pm SquigY0: there's dat beat!
	4:26pm northguineahills: I thought a roach clip was just a bobby pin...
	4:26pm Funky16Corners: Lots of biggies to come next week, too!
	4:28pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Hi Larry, late but love what I'm hearing!
	4:28pm doctorjazz: Just finished, haven't had one of those yet (closed mri), man, terrible, endless test. If you ever need one (the closed, whole body kind), I recommend learning/practicing meditation. I think you that's what got me through without asking for a break.
	4:28pm Funky16Corners: Hey Hopey!
	4:29pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - I have a tendency to claustrophobia. The idea of a closed MRI gives me the chills
	4:29pm Erica: Hi Hopey.
	4:31pm Funky16Corners: Here's an example of a record that was not only sampled dozens and dozens of times, but also imitated/re-created widely
	4:32pm Funky16Corners: The drums in Fools Gold by the Stone Roses for instance
	4:33pm doctorjazz: I'm not so claustrophobic, but that can make one claustrophobic. And, it was ordered for lower back pain-it required lying on my back on exactly the spot that hurts. Just did my breathing, counted/focused on my breathing, I think it really helped.
	4:34pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Oh, I should add that none other than Peter Murphy also sampled "Ashley's Roachclip" on "Roll Call Pt. 2" in 1989...
	4:35pm Funky16Corners: Really!?!? I'll have to look for that!
	🥁 4:36pm Brian in UK: doctorjazz, did they let you take some music into the chamber?
	4:36pm Vincent The Soul Chef: @Larry: Yep, on the album "Deep"... or the 12" single for "Cuts You Up"
	4:41pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Oh wow, I haven't heard Misdemeanor in YEARS. Great pick, Larry!
	4:41pm Funky16Corners: Such a great record!
	🥁 4:42pm Brian in UK: Two Fools Gold bands. First supporting the much maligned Dan Fogelberg. Second from the West, great African rhythms and singing in Hebrew.
	4:43pm Funky16Corners: I wrote up the Foster Sylvers track a while back: funky16corners.com...
	4:43pm doctorjazz: @BiUK, nope! They gave me headphones that I assume was to block out some of the noise (didn't seem to, but I didn't try with them off), but no music (20 years ago I had an mri of my knee, not as bad. First, only the one goes in the machine. And they did let me bring music to listen to.
	4:44pm Phillippe Bastille: howdy
	🥁 4:44pm Brian in UK: I am seeing Jeremy's flute as a snake charmer and the womans legs as the snake. do I need a laydown?
	4:44pm Funky16Corners: Did anyone see this used in Shrek as the Pied Piper's music?
	4:44pm Funky16Corners: Hey Phillippe!
	4:45pm Funky16Corners: Shrek, of course, written by Jeremy Steig's father, William Steig
	4:45pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - I see that as an acceptable explanation
	4:45pm northguineahills: Any Dilla samples?
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: Not that I know of
	4:49pm northguineahills: I know I have hiphop that sampled the Beach Boys, but, I don't have access to my rekkids, and the track is eluding my brain...
	4:49pm Vincent The Soul Chef: I still say that the UK remix of "Pump Up The Volume" is far superior to the US version...
	4:50pm Funky16Corners: Did someone sample 'Do It Again' by the Beach Boys?
	4:50pm Funky16Corners: @Vincent - LOVE Pump Up the Volume
	4:53pm northguineahills: @Vincent: I have that version! (UK)
	🥁 4:54pm dutchtheo: Thanks, Larry! Air.. www.whosampled.com...
	🥁 4:55pm Brian in UK: I was blown away when I realised that I had one track on DJ Shadow's Entroducing
	4:55pm Funky16Corners: A lot of that Shadow stuff is unspeakably obscure.
	4:56pm Vincent The Soul Chef: @ northguineahills: Yup. 4AD catalog no. BAD 707R... it's the only one that matters :)
	🥁 4:57pm Brian in UK: The album was barely released over here so how did he hear it. Completely nuts, bit like this station!
	4:58pm Vincent The Soul Chef: Another fantastic show! I hope I'm off next Thursday :)
	4:58pm Matt from New Orleans: Thanks Larry. Great stuff. Looking forward to part 2.
	🥁 4:59pm Yvang: Thanks Larry for unearthing the roots!
	4:59pm northguineahills: Thanks Larry!
	5:00pm Erica: Can't wait for part 2 either Matt.
	5:00pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Great show! I look forward to listening to the whole thing in the archives.
	5:00pm northguineahills: Oh, yeah, I have psyche record mix by Shadow!
	🥁 5:03pm Brian in UK: The crazy English took Endtroducing out live. bandonthewall.org... Thanks Larry.
	5:04pm Erica: See you guys next week guys!
	5:04pm Funky16Corners: Thanks all! See you next week!
