    That Day article is pretty old I think.

    How about that blog, though?

    "At night I lay in bed obsessing about drum layering, time streching, and conspiring on ways to chop samples faster while breaking them down in as few steps as possible on an MPC 2000XL."

    To get the fix I so desperately needed, I headed down the block to Cheapo records where there was an ample selection of Soul, Jazz and second rate repressings (I still don???t understand who buys these things, but that we???ll save that tirade for another day). I also found two crackheads in the back of the store screaming at each other about Bruce Lee, horror flicks, weight gaining tactics and workout tips. After digging for a while and having an intense self debate over an Idris Muhammad record with a taped cover, I ran across Odyssey by Charles Earland and Bridges by Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson (for those who don???t know this contains the sample for Brown Skin Lady by Black Star). All in all it was a decent day with great weather, dope records and dusty fingers.

    I was in cheapo two weeks ago in their new location, and a guy was asking if he could lock his grocery cart up in the back.

    I hold Waxpoetics solely responsible for the week I spent listening to Steely Dan???s entire discography and the funny looks that I received when talking to friends about how the group refused to performed live. The week after that I moved onto Funkadelic, researching the group???s history and walking around throwing up the funk sign at my place of employment. I also blame them for the Gabo Szabo record hunt I went on the summer before last, my inability to stop talking about how amazing Joe Zawinal and Weather Report were back in the day, and my ever growing collection of J Dilla (Jay Dee) unreleased beat tapes.

    I can't wait until this guy discovers that MC Shadow.
