11:49 pm on June 13th, 2007
i fucking love this blog. <3 <3 <3
12:55 am on June 14th, 2007
Great work again!
3:50 am on June 14th, 2007
love this blog… but why dignify this little troll with a sample wednesday?
5:17 am on June 14th, 2007
smacking it but i dont really see the interpolation of andy c in that cheryl tweedy track? care to enlighten?
9:14 am on June 14th, 2007
anony2 – in cheryl tweedy, the sampling starts at around 0:50 – with some of the little wierd atonal sounds from valley of the shadows- from there on they fade those sounds more into the mix, until finally the break comes in at 1:16 – and you can hear the little “31 seconds” vox sample as well.
anony1- aww, you’re hard on the poor girl. maybe youre from the uk, where it seems she gets splashed with the kind of haterade that all the american poptarts really to take need a bath in. what can i say?
9:59 am on June 14th, 2007
wow i didnt know there was so much sampling (or replaying in this case) going on on her album
1:10 pm on June 14th, 2007
yeah i agree with anony1, this flying tart no waaay deserves a sample day. what she do? release one good song? come oon!!
4:06 am on June 15th, 2007
i am from UK. You’re right.
She’s a famous actor’s daughter. She’s only ‘somebody’ ’cause she already was… like Paris Hilton, like the Nelson Twins.
she’s a borish, spoilt little brat from the ‘mean streets of Islington’… gimme a fuckin’ break.
8:00 am on June 15th, 2007
I love sample wednesday. I’d love a sample wednesday with RJD2!
Keep up the good work
9:31 am on June 15th, 2007
anyway, the originals are great songs.
11:02 am on June 16th, 2007
She got way too much love from the uk press early on. When you’re constantly promoted as the greatest thing ever and you’re really not, well, of course there’s going to be backlash!
11:46 am on June 16th, 2007
i wouldn’t mind her, but giving her a spot on the dizzee album? really? if she stayed away from music i like, and quit playing at ghetto queen, i’d be prepared to tolerate her. still quite a good choice for a sample wednesday, as the backing tracks she gets are normally really good pop music.
3:47 pm on June 16th, 2007
yo haldan, scheme, whoever…
sample wednesdays are always the shit. i want to submit the rjd2 samples i offered up like 2 months ago, but i have probably 2 posts worth now. i just need the email again where i should send it. let me know.

Hey taka, thanks for your persistence.
I’ve just set up a couple of new accounts-
samplewednesday@gmail.com
and
remixsunday@gmail.com
- anyone who would like to submit please use those addresses. due to an overflowing gmailbox- i am always missing emails and bouncing attachments. – this should solve the problem for a little while! psyched to hear what you got!
ps. yousendit links to to folders or zip files would still work best. files

For some reason the Soul Brothers track cuts off at 1:47. Where is the rest of it? It’s so good. I want it.

The last song here Valley of Shadows…. this song/CD was lost to me on my 22nd B-day b/c of a burglary and i recognized it instantly. The CD its from is a compilation jungle drum& bass CD called “King of the Jungle” it came with two CD’s just in case you wanted to know since it said Origin Unknown.
keep it up man
