Yeah. Perry at Lolla scheduled against a couple other worthy acts is one thing, maybe "take it or leave it," but he brought Slash along for the (albeit brief) ride so it became a bit more essential.

So I discovered today that the beat from MIA's "Paper Planes" (a song that I've begun to really like) is lifted straight from "Straight to Hell" by the Clash. It makes me sad and kind of makes me like the song less

I know the song of which you speak and I kind of like it too. In fact the sample is what caused me to notice it. The Clash is my all time favorite band. In a way this type of thing is full circle. A lot of the later Clash material was heavily influenced by American hip hop. "This is Radio Clash", "The Magnificent Seven" and "Rock the Casbah" just to name a few.
Parts of the video for "This is Radio Clash" is even filmed on the streets of Harlem.
"The Magnificent Seven" is quite pssibly my favorite Clash song.
Mick Jones was obsessed with rap music which was at the time a brand new sound. He even went on to sample "Should I Stay or Should I Go" on a Big Audio Dynamite song after the Clash split up. Not to mention many of the other samples used by B.A.D. on songs such as "Rush".
Cypress Hill also sampled "Guns of Brixton" on "What's Your Number" which featured Tim Armtrong of Rancid.
Besides, it's not as bad as Will Smith sampling Rock the Casbah a few years back.

Yeah, I was actually surprised when I heard it. I had my iTunes on shuffle, and "Straight to Hell" came on - and my first thought was "that's funny, I didn't think I had Paper Planes on here". So I checked it, and then felt really stupid for not realizing it earlier.

Buddy Guy is playing for free tonight at the For Worth Jazz Fest. I got to see The Voodoo Glow Skulls and Propagandhi in Finland for free last month, along with free tickets to MMJ in Dallas last month. Free is always good.
Ive been letting one screw with my head for 4 1/2 years now but I think the other day may have been the last straw grrrrrrr.
Ouch! That's a LOOONG time, esp with the head games. Time to move on up girl....you are too cute and smart to waste THAT much time on anything that makes you frown!
Here's to hoping you find one that makes you ;D and not

I saw a super-stretch Hummer awhile ago-how ridonkculous is that....jeez...what an effin waste
It made me think of that Reno 911 episode where they are trying to turn a Hummer around in the parking lot...and they get stuck..and they keep running out of gas trying to get it out and turned around..hahaha
Saw that free Perry Farrel, Gavin DeGraw, and Travis Barker/DJAM show, on Friday... yeah, Perry sucked. Only played for about 30 minutes. He did play Pigs In Zen, which was cool. Surprisingly, Barker and AM stole the show. It was allot like the style of dj'ing that Girl Talk does, but with less obscure transitions, with Travis Barker drumming over it. Like I said, surprisingly entertaining. Tragedy, what happened after (I'm sure most know by now, the plane crash).
But, I've got The Mars Volta(second time seeing them) in Asheville (first time going there) this coming Tuesday with a couple of friends. Promises to be allot of fun.

^^^mothersky-you going to see them at Orange Peel? You will be in effin heaven!! Great venue...nice big hardwood floors...great vibes also. Aville is my first choice on where Id like to live...good peeps there..and very laid back..its a real community town and beautiful..Have fun!
I have to agree with ST- Junkie there. I love The Orange Peel. And the city of Asheville. There is a great place to get coffee up the street from the club. I forget the name of it but it's in a double decker bus. You can't miss it.
Sadly, it's not at the Orange Peel; it's at the Asheville Civic Center. I've heard not so great things about the acoustics, but hey, first time to Asheville, great band, can't be that bad, eh?
Let me know how that show goes...I've been a HUGE Weezer fan (seen them every time they toured since like...1998) but I'm really wary of that show, considering the opening bands.
I am seeing Ratatat in Atlanta on Thursday! I'm way excited. October is going to be badass show month, though.
So far I have these to choose from:
Allman Brothers/Phil Lesh and Friends Benny Benassi Girl Talk Weezer MSTRKRFT Sasha Carl Cox
I'm not sure I can afford all of them...but I"m going to try!

I just meant to practice guitar for 30 minutes and it ended up being over an hour. Not to toot my own horn by any means but a lot of things come naturally for me, so its nice to have something very challenging to learn imo.

glad you are practicing ziggy!
i've been playing a lot lately too... time flies man, i'll look at the clock and hours have passed and my phone has rung 10 times lol
it didn't come easy for me at first, but after 8 years, i am starting to feel like it is an extension of myself and i can make the guitar do what i feel.... sometimes

Thats where I want to be, but I can tell that is a lot of hours away. I can still tell an improvement though, so its not too frustrating.
