Old movies you've only seen recently...
The Hills Have Eyes - aka Shit! I'm Being Hunted A Family of Inbred Cannibal Hillbillies (CZ)
I'd never seen this before and having a new child in the house made me a lot more sensitive than I think I ever would've been to the baby-in-peril plotline. Cannibals talking about how they were gonna section and eat this baby and such. It has that 70s mood of oddness that almost nobody seems able to capture now. Maybe something to do with actually having shot in Death Valley, and actually casting a guy with a strange condition where he has no hair or nails or sweat glands.
The Kid With A Bike
Dardenne brothers social realism... kinda. But also kind of plays out like a myth. A young boy, rejected by his father, acts out and hurts people in a search for a surrogate figure, and is hurt in turn. I liked it but it felt kind of "pure cinema" in a way I'm not sure I needed in this kind of story. Like, all of the action felt real and affecting, and it was a pretty physical movie, lots of biking, running, fighting, climbing fences, etc. But the main character in the boy's life isn't shown to have any motivation to be in his life, and the kid's own motivations for changing are left pretty opaque. I'm sure that's on purpose but I'm not sure that's enough for me.

Introduction, Strut appreciation and an offering
Hell yeah! Steen, this rules!
Very high quality too - insert is heavy, printed cassette, etc. Can't wait to rock it how it was meant to be rocked. Thanks man.

Shook Ones Sample Source
Proper writeup, Yemsky. I remember reading interviews with producers and such, maybe even in the early Wax Poetics issues, where guys speculated on what it could be. Come to think of it it might've been Kon & Amir I'm thinking of, another SS connection. I remember somebody saying "whatever it is, that ain't no funk". I can't tell if it's strange that it took so long, or strange that anybody EVER figured it out, considering how it's chopped - the way the second phrase interrupts the first sounds so natural and cool it must've mislead most people from thinking it's just a couple regular 3-note arpeggios, just timed weirdly. Sample nerd history here.
