Sample Spotting: Washed Out

I think it's safe to say that the Gary Low original is of equal or greater quality than Mr. Greene's hijacking.  Oh, and that lip-syncing is to die for!  No one can lip-sync like that anymore.  And kids these days call themselves musicians...  They couldn't lip-synced for their life!

Feel It All Around  :::  Gary Low - "I Want You"
Get Up  :::  Change - "Got To Get Up"
Hold Out  :::  V.I.P. Connection - "West Coast Drive"

Hear 'em after the jump.

Sample Spotting: Panda Bear Person Pitch

Someone put together this nice little video on Youtube illustrating some of the samples that Panda Bear used on the great Person Pitch.  I was a little surprised to learn some of these... I always thought that Kraftwerk sample was actually an ice cream truck field recording that had been cut up.  Anyways, this video doesn't quite hit all the samples, so I've included some more after the jump.

Sample Spotting: Rjd2's Ghostwriter

I did a little crate digging today to pick up a new 45 for 7" Sundays, and stumbled upon Betty Wright's 1974 song "Secretary" and gave it a listen.  Something about it sounded vaguely familiar and I came to the conclusion that it must have been sampled by someone at somepoint.  Sure enough, with a little reasearch I found that the opening section was used in Rjd2's fantastic "Ghostwriter".  I had always recognized the Elliott Smith sample throughout the song, but never knew any of the other samples origins.  With a little more research, I have dissected the song a bit more.  Keep reading for the full breakdown and audio clips...
