“french vanilla, butter pecan, chocolate deluxe..”
Found over at the Turntable Lab. There’s no doubting this one. Wu-Tang lovers, listen before you read any further, you’ll hear it.

“found a coat, and grabbed my hat…”
Side 2, track 6. I’ve been saving this one. It would have been nice to see if Jeff from Legends could have written it up, but considering it’s the 1 year anniversary of this blog (to this day), I figured I should do it. A big thank you goes out to all my readers. I’m gonna start doing 1 min. podcasts soon, so look out for those.
I won’t pretend to be a Beatles superfan, and some may say the part where Lennon goes “i looovee toooo turnnnn yoouuu oonnnnn…” is the best, but for me I like the old timey piano and the shaker action in this part.

“…she sounds just right”
Don’t you hate it when you’re at the bar with your buddy and you hear some footsteps, and you’re like “Oh yeah, you know what that sounds like…click clack click clack… a lady”! But then it turns out it was just a man with petite feet. The man had petite feet, and a feminine step, he sounded like a lady when he walked into the room. Oh well.

“Now, full details of the offer later”
2nd post from this album, hey I’m getting excited for the 3rd one! Madlib has records for days, I can only imagine how extensive his collection is. When I interviewed him back in 2005, he said it was even better than DJ Shadows’. At the beginning of this song, he just lets a few of them play. They’re pretty weird, radio commercials and what not.

“Vancouver”
You’re going to hear this word a lot leading up to the Olympics, but not like it sounds here. Considering Martyn is from the Netherlands, I’d love to see the Dutch team roll into BC Place playing this song.

“All the furniture… is in the garage”
It’s new to me; the remix is dead cool. Heard this on The Gilles Peterson show last month.
Soulwax really turned up the heat for their remix, it’s a lot harder than the original. The best part is when they edit in the Daft Punk snippets. That’s all. Happy Holidays!

“so I’ll be invisible..”
When I first started buying old records, Curtis M was one who I would always look out for. All of these albums from the early 70’s (Sweet Exorcist, Supafly, Curtis, Back to the World) you can play the whole way through. This jam is kind of a slow one, but it stands out for me because of the ending. Remember that part in the Unkle video for Rabbit in your Headlights where the guy finds his strength and the car demolishes itself on HIM..I think this part of the song is like that. There’s like a little delay after “..upset”, and Curtis is reborn, choice made. Invisible. It sounds futuristic, and perfectly out of place.
Also, Cassius sampled it.
