@chachwitablog: I thought it was odd that a pig hit my second floor window this morning.

I don’t want to be the bearer of even worse news, but Flo’s next single samples/interpolates Eiffel 65′s “Blue.” I’m not making this shit up.

@Dan Gibson: I'm confused. You wrote specifically that they were "providing revenue to Dead or Alive's then-label Epic"; I clarified that Epic isn't getting revenue from this. Why the sarcasm?

@CarWashHair: OMG, I HAD NO IDEA. Next you'll be telling me that Flo Rida appearing on a reworked White Lion song would be an artistic misstep.

I hate to be Debbie Downer at the party, but the chorus of this song isn't a sample (in which a portion of the original recording is utilized), but instead an interpolation (in which an entirely new recording is created, in this case even changing the lyrics).

Which means Epic isn't involved or profiting at all here -- it's entirely a publishing issue.

I love “Right Round.” I have been jamming on the Ross.FM Club Mix, which is double the cheese.

How is it possible that no one mentioned that the new Flo Rida single streaming at that link samples EIFFEL FRIGGIN’ 65???

the deftones did a great cover of “Savory” with jonah matranga. It was basically an exact copy of the original, but it got me into Jawbox.

Actually, the intro to “Savory” could be interesting to mix w/some cool beats…but I guess that wasn’t the point, huh? (Although, they could sure use the loot.)

@katesilver: Isn't it crazy that that was THE biggest song of the nineties?

A Donna Lewis resurgence would kill me, though that song is so repetitive it makes a nice hook. Well played.

“18 and Life” would make a great song about a shawty stripping her life away, too!
