The Amen Break

First, I must note that the narrator’s voice and influction is so sexy, that I had to stop to “think about baseball” several times throughout this recording.

Secondly, consider me edumacated! I listened to the entire clip…mostly because I am a percussion enthusiast, but also because I needed something streaming through my broken headphones -sound only passes through the right earpiece; Unless of course I am deaf in one ear…should probably look into that sometime- to ease the pain of a monotonous work assignment(which I have just finished, thank you very much!).

You were right…I have to admit, it is an interesting look back at the seed that gave way to an infinite number of trees (sorry, that’s the “eco-queer” in me).

What now? Well, I have made it MY Life’s Purpose to come up with a COMPLETELY UNIQUE, NEVER BEFORE PLAYED, yup, BRAND NEW DRUM BREAK for hundreds of people to LURVE and to steal for self-profit. This really IS my intended purpose. See, it’s not $$ I care about, but rather the idea that something totally original, created by me and ONLY me, might live on long after my death! Hmmm, I suppose I could accomplish this relatively quickly with the help of this clip and the infamous “Amen break” to start with. Now if I just alter it a bit with my sampler, I…

I’m kidding! I can do this. YOU’LL SEE

hahaha.. oh Julie. Too funny.

But seriously, I’m sure you could come up with the next sample that’ll live on in our next generation’s “club kid”. Shoot it my way when you’re done and I’ll lay down some funk tracks over it. We’ll issue it as a ‘B’ side to our Top 10 hit “Nail Biting Bop”. When we’re 90 and livin’ in a home we can shake our fists at the kids who sample the track and grumble that they’ve fucked it all up.

“Nail Biting Bizzle”:
I’m in! …and by that time, I’ll be able to better justify my wetting myself from laughing at this post!
