...and lots more. But if we could cover that territory for starters, I think the rest would follow well enough.

does ANYONE on ILx make hip hop? like, anybody at all outside the Nas/Jay-Z threads?

or for that matter even ON them?

you mean make beats or rap? or both?

[i used to do the former, but never the latter.]

i mean rap. i'm genuinely curious.

(or both)

I was in one band with a rapper (a white Jewish female rapper, as it happens -- and this was while Northern State was still in grade school), and I've played drums for some live freestyling, but that's about it. My involvement with hip-hop would necessarily be along those lines (i.e. not vocal).

Jack Cole!!!!If I move to Portland we could be the next Smashchords or World Of Pooh!!!!!!!!
Radio Birdman- What Gives?
Brother JT-Fathers Name Was Dad (Fire cover)
Simply Saucer- Electro Rock
Fall- Man Whose Head Expanded
Faust- It's A Rainy Day, Sunshine Girl
Sun Ra- Rocket Number Nine Take Off For The Planet Venus
Sun City Girls- Journey To The Center Of The Mind (Amboy Dukes cover)
Tall Dwarfs- Brain That Wouldn't Die
Pussy Galore- Sweet Little HiFi
Dead C- Mighty (slow)
Dead C- Mighty (fast)

brg, if you move to Portland I'd start a band with you AND Jack, in a second... dear God, my old band used to do a surf version of "Mighty"...

ha ha ha -- my guitar playing has been based on the teachings of my master, David Fair -- just to warn you. i've never learned chords, etc, except for the ones I think I have made up and usually play in weird tunings I stumble upon and keep for a while.

A couple of friends and I were discussing this at a party a month ago. I'll see if I can remember

Seiji - Loose Lips - For The Beats
Dilinja - Silver Blade - For the Bass
James Brown - Cold Sweat (parts 1 & 2) - For Song Structure
Prince - La la la, Hee hee hee - For Rhythm Guitar
David Lee Roth - Yankee Rose - For Lead Guitar
My Bloody Valentine - I Only Said - For Texture Guitar
Daft Punk - One More Time - For filtering on MBV texture/atmosphere
Prince - Supercalifragisexy - For Party vocals/lyrics
Arthur Russell - Keeping Up - Quiet Number vocals/lyrics
Mystikal - Bouncin' Back - For vocals to be used in the same way Maceo solos are used to James Brown songs - to keep the groove interesting in pt. 2

That's all we did - Sorry Douglas, we weren't planning to make a CD
To fill up the rest of the album put. These songs would be used to provide variety to our albums - not used often.

Diana Ross - Upside Down - For the Strings
Cloud One - Atmosphere Strut - for Patrick Adams Synth lines
King Tubby - anything - For the warm dub.

jack - move to Ohio - you know you want to. Join my nonexistent band. We (I) don't believe in tuning. Or songs, for that matter.

Half Japanese is an element in the model. Other elements are the liner notes from Indeterminacy, and the final refrain in 5:15.

All this because I'll never be able to write or play something like Cattle and Cane, so I'm going the other direction.

1.Queen - Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy.
2.Wiley - Igloo.
3.Prince - Girls And Boys.
4.The Strokes - Hard To Explain.
5.David Bowie - Underground.
6.2Pac - Thug Passion.
7.Three 6 Mafia - Late Nite Tip.
8.Ruff Squad - R U Double F
9.Bling Dawg - Propaganda
10.Jay z - Things That You Do

(All songs screwed & chopped)

1 MBV - Onlw Shallow
2 Monster Magnet - Pill Shovel
3 Lush - Stray
4 Metallica - The Thing That Should Not Be
5 Swervedriver - Rave Down
6 Seam - Bunch
7 Yo La Tengo - From A Motel 6
8 Morbid Angel - Summoning Redemption
9 The Sea And Cake - Bird And Flag
10 Melvins - Roman Dog Bird
11 Missy Elliot - Get Ur Freak On
12 Helmet - Rollo

The Missy tune could be replaced by Ugly, More Than A Woman, We Need A Resolution, or People Like Myself every easily. Timbaland has definitely got to be in there though.

a slight re-edit:

1. Happy Mondays - "God's Cop"
2. Fatboy Slim - "Michael Jackson"
3. Aftershock - "Slave To The Vibe (Dem 2 Mix)"
4. Vybz Kartel - "Sweet To The Belly"
5. A Guy Called Gerald - "Nazinji-Zaka"
6. Miles Davis - "Black Satin"
7. Deep Blue - "The Helicopter Tune (2 Bad Mice Remix)"
8. Can - "Spoon"
9. Borneo & Sporenburg - "Boys In Shorts"
10. Disco Inferno - "The Long Dance"
11. AR Kane - "Catch My Drift"
12. Beta Band - "Broke"
13. Aaliyah - "One In A Million"
14. Antonio - "Hyperfunk"
15. Scritti Politti - "Confidence"
16. My Bloody Valentine - "Instrumental B"

I realized I forgot all the 70s AM stuff I'd really like to sound like.

the homosexuals - neutron lover
gramme - like u
the grass roots - temptation eyes
the distant cousins - she ain't lovin' you no more
the premiers - farmer john
the defranco family - heartbeat (it's a lovebeat)
loose joints - is it all over my face
the gories - nitroglycerin
clarence carter - strokin'
the happy mondays - 24hr party people

what a mess!
