One from Paul's Boutique.....
There's around 100 samples (exactly 100 from what I've got) that went into making the Beastie Boys masterpiece that's Paul's Boutique, where do I begin! This is the bulk of Car Thief.

Eye Know I Love You Better......
If I've ever got a year to spend I'll do a comprehensive De La Soul post, but I had to chuck this one in for a daily treat, from "Eye Know", The Mad Lads - Make This Young Lady Mine.

And I may as well chuck in the hook you all know - Steely Dan - Peg. Search for them performing it live on youtube, its top banana.

The Bicycles...
It'll take ages to build up this section but here's a little taster of some of them, I'll probably put them in to sub-categories, detailed and better pics and spec for the bicycle nerds. But just to get you started....
SE Racing Quadangle - 1983
Quad! Had it for years, keep thinking of freshening it up but, nah, I like it.
Hutch Pro Star - 1984
Won Bike of The Year with this in 2007. Shiny and expensive, don't know what else to put. £1200 in 1984, now ....?, that's what a lot of people ask. It's got the number plate now, major overhaul.
Hutch XL24 - 1983
The chrome on this wasn't too bad, original thick triple chrome and had it blasted and powdered. Idiot.
Hutch Lil Hole Shot - 1981
Original finish Lil Hole Shot. Very early for a Hutch frame, built a the Thruster factory, pre-serial, pre-drilled forks and the real clincher, pre-stamped brake bridge. Oldest Hutch I know of on my street.
Torker 280X - 1982
All original import, always wanted one and never thought one this perfect would come my way. My luckiest purchase, easily best survivor I've ever had. Came first at MK09 in the street bike catergory.
Haro Freestyler Gen 1 - 1982
The first! Always preferred Jay's Dominguez replica to the Bob Haro builds so...this bike went slightly in that direction. The Bob Haro builds are quite tough to get right, it doesn't happen often.
Team Mongoose w/ Motomags - 1981
The oldest bike I've got. Look at them motomags..... 81 was on the cusp of the proper vintage parts and the more modern bits being released so a touch of old and "new". All era correct stuff. Like all the beasts in here.
Skyway TA-1983
Had about 8 TA's, seemed a bit extreme and this was the last white one. I didn't put that crappy chainring on though. Sold!
SE Racing PK Ripper - 1982
Old pic - now had a major make-over, new paint, yet to be revealed....
Hutch Trick Star - 1985
Original survivor paint, came from New York 5-6 years ago. Sat under my bed for years , was going to strip it to paint candy blue. Cleaned off the old gunk from grip tape and stickers and finally saw its potential. That would of been a crime to get the Nitromoors out. Phew! The pic's old, had a major overhaul since...Hutch grips, Bullseye front hub, coaster rear and a chain. Came 2nd at MK08 in the Freestyle section. It was against Jay, so I can live with that.
Hutch Judge - 1985
Thrown together in an afternoon with spares, was never that bothered doing this justice. It'd cost £3-£4000 in parts and the Pro Star ticked the Hutch box for me, so was pointless. Never took to it really, considering the fuss people make over these frames. Last frame and forks sold on ebay for over £1500. This will be on there soon, just getting resto'd. Fingers crossed....
GT Pro Nora Cup - 1982
Had this build constantly evolving for about 5 years until recently, was time to sell up and say goodbye.
Haro FST - 1985
Influenced by the late Marc Reardons custom Sport that I couldn't stop looking at 25 years ago. Now sold.
Haro Master - 1985
My first frame and forks when I started collecting. Came across this nos Master on ebay, had it as a xmas present to just hang on a wall. 6 years down the line and 75 bikes later.....got re-built so many times, this was its last incarnation, but now sold. Won the peoples choice award at MK08 with the new owner.
Skyway TA XL - 1984
TA XL, a well planned build that looked crude on execution. Too many logo's, too busy. Rebuilt now with more blue anno, less chrome and blue Ukai's, more subtle and looks heaps better. Need a pic.
Skyway TA - 1983
An oldie, TA given a lick of pink paint. Experimental afternoon build with some spares. Long gone.
Tange Hot Heart - 1982
Drilled Hot Heart for the Kuwahara KZ2.5 conversion. Now sold.
JMC Micro Mini - 1984
Only 85 of these were made, about 5 left known to exist. Mint survivor, all original. Nice!
SE Racing Quadangle - 1983

Deee-lite cut up into little pieces.....
Time for a posting to uncover as much of Deee-lite's Groove's in the Heart as possible. Bassline was always readily available but it's taken a few years for the rest of it to sneak out in the public domain - especially the intro. Very satisfying hearing that one.....
Bel-Sha-Zaar with Tommy Genapopoluis & The Grecian Knights
Now this is a real beauty - 20 years of hunting and curiosity over. Hubba Hubba.
Youtube posting by FunkDawg0711
Vernon Burch - Get Up
Its the drums's and whistle, the beat is obvious from the off but the juicy bit is at 2.22.
Youtube posting by ScooBoxProductions
Herbie Hancock - Bring Down the Birds
It's that bassline - taken from the soundtrack to the film Blow Up.
Youtube posting by macorock
Ralph McDonald - Jam on the Groove
On old b-boy classic, for the grooviest percussion break known to man and beast @ 3.45
Youtube posting by KaanDeLioncourt
Sweet Pussy Pauline - Hateful Head Helen @ 3.05
This is the "brrrrrr" bit that you'd be forgiven for thinking it was Bootsy Collins. Some filthy but funny comedy, sampled by 2 Live Crew if that lets you know where it's at....

Green Acres TV theme
Just a little snippet but we may as well be anal about this. The "I I,I,I" bit, scrub to 0.35.
Youtube posting by blondegal1957
Ray Barretto - Right On
Nice! Latin percussion break, top stuff from start to finish.
Youtube posting by DJCENK0
The Headhunters - God Made Me Funky
Another b-boy favourite for the breaks, used by Deee-Lite for the scratched drum roll.
Youtube posting by SidewalksOfNY315
There's one more I wanted to post up but can't find a link, the drum break under Q Tip's rap is from Billy Preston's cover of Stevie Wonder's Uptight. And slooowed right down.
I guess you'll need Groove is in the Heart to reference.....Enjoy!

Coldcut's Paid In Full remix dissection
Right then , this won't be conclusive, it's a bit of a bugger finding clips for everything, there were a whole heap of samples used. Although, they weren't actually "sampled", Coldcut didn't have a sampler at the time, they recorded direct from vinyl on to 4 track.
"This is a Journey Into Sound" this vocal sample that starts off the track and with a few other lumps thrown in, "Stereophonic Sound For Dance Music". Came from a record from Decca called "A Journey Into Stereo Sound" that introduced people to the exciting new world of stereo recordings, spoken by British actor Geoffrey Sumner. I bought one of these by accident in a charity shop years ago, popped it on the turntable and almost had heart failiure.

Salsoul Orchestra - Ooh I Love It (Love Break) @ 5.40
Youtube video by besbar2000
Ofra Haza's Im nin'alu from the album Yemenite Sounds
Youtube video from Ofra1000
Chuck Brown & The Soul Searchers - Ashley's Roachclip @3.30
I wasn't going to include bits from the original mix of Paid In Full, just the remix but what the heck, here's the famous drum beat used on a heap of cool stuff, like Milli Vanilli, PM Dawn, EMF....ok, but there are some good ones too. Also buried in the track is the filtered flute lick from Paid In Full. And....at the begining you'll find a chunk of Run DMC's "Runs House".
Youtube video posted SidewalksOfNY315
Sound Experience - Boogie Woogie
Nice conga break, never heard the original before today, been after this for donkeys years. The vocal was used on an earlier Coldcut mash up track "Beats and Pieces".
Youtube video posted by arthuristheboy
Play School & Play Away -Bang on a Drum lp @ 1.50
Well, I've never heard this original before either, a very groovey drum break from right at the end of Paid In Full. Awesome.
