didn't really give me any guidelines on what to do for this he just said you can play music keep it like you can do it 10 minutes to a half hour whatever so a topic that i always enjoyed is samples in music specifically movie samples so i figured i'd do like a radical research style thing play some clips from movies I heard a quote the other night, I was watching the movie Come On, Come On by Mike Mills, and Joaquin Phoenix said something like, he was a sound recorder in the film, and he was saying, it's taking something but now and making it immortal.
We're taking this incredibly specific thing that I like, and maybe only I enjoy it, but we're going to put it on tape for others to get through.
So why is this fascinating to me? I mean I like sampling culture in general and like we could talk about plunder phonics we could talk about sampling culture and hip-hop and all that but I'm gonna limit to just like direct film quotes to that I think there's a joy in just recognizing something from your favorite film in a song or if like the artist integrates integrates it into the lyrics or the themes themselves and then there's also like the discovery element you could have from like hearing something in a song saying that's cool try to track it down and then it's also really cool whenever like you hear a song for a while you don't know what it's from and then you eventually watch the movie and you realize that's where it came from you have that like uh-huh moment the leo point so like as you heard like i opened up with a compilation of white zombie clips So between White Zombie and Buckethead, shout out Sebastian.

Like, I don't know if it's just nostalgia, but, like, I re-listened to those two White Zombie records, and I was actually, like, bumping to it pretty hard.
So the White Zombie records are just stuffed with these clips from the horror movies, exploitation films, stuff like you would have heard, like Shaft, Night of the Living Dead, Star Trek.
And most importantly for me, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which is one of my favorite movies nowadays.
