True Fans will Pay Whatever

Boy, I'm behind on posts. Well, here's a great interview with Trent Reznor in which he disucsses the music industry.

That's the most insulting thing I've heard. I've garnered a core audience that you feel it's OK to rip off? F--- you

The Amen Break

Here's a short discussion of the history of the Amen Break -- the 6 second drum break that, via sampling, contributed to much of the hip hop and electronic music that we have today. Snippets of songs by NWA, Mantronix, Squarepusher, and Perry Farrell are heard, among others. Remixes of this break's pattern show up in music by one of my favorites, Aphex Twin. Copyright issues are discussed in the video as well.

The video seems pretty useless - why do I care to watch a record play for most of 18 minutes, even if they custom pressed it? I know, I need to slow down and get in touch with my inner tortoise.
