Just Another Tuesday in Japan

Posted by: shift In: Humor|Videos|Weird

A chimpanzee in overalls fondles a statue, then goes to the bakery to pick up a cake, but the pack of bulldogs he’s walking turn on him and chase him down the road before a bird of prey steals the chimpanzee’s cake. Or, as it’s called in Japan, “Tuesday.”

Not sure how I’ve missed reading this in the past. But I’m so glad I found it. This has to be the most amazing time travel story I’ve ever read…. and it’s short!

Read this, and then clean up the mess of your brain exploding afterward.

The Amen Break

Posted by: shift In: General|Music|Videos

The Amen Break is a 5.2 second drum sample. Yet, these 5.2 seconds have spawned entire sub-genres of music – jungle, drum-and-bass. It also served to jump start early hip hop and sample-based music.

The origin of the Amen Break goes back to a 1969 recording by The Winstons. The 4-bar sample comes from a Drum Solo in the middle of the song  “Amen, Brother”.  The solo was played by Gregory Sylvester “G. C.” Coleman.

“Amen, Brother” was the B-side to The Winston’s Grammy winning hit single “Color Him Father”.

The break has been used by countless artists, producers, and DJs. However, The Winstons have never received any royalties for the sampling.
