This PBS Independent Lens documentary on sampling culture is a good one, and you can watch the whole thing on Youtube. Their resources and links page includes my Biz Markie blog post. Thanks Beautiful Decay for posting the videos.

- Another Sunday afternoon at the @foodcoop. Wrote through lunchtime and had to run straight here. I need a visit from the pizza fairy.
- @chumulu No, just lazy.
- Ironing out some language about the value of repetition in music. Adorno can suck it. http://bit.ly/c4QEL8

- A good cover is a well-written song with lame arrangement, dated production etc. If it's perfect already there's no room to grow it.
- I like cutting tracks with Barbara Singer because she really knows how to pick material. Next tune in the pipeline is by Robert Palmer.
- It's both pi day and Einstein's birthday.
- @apag Thanks yo.
