Pin the Tail on the Jackass

Which one of these two is the jackass?

Van Morrison - It's All Over Now, Baby Blue [mp3]

Beck - Jack-ass (Lowrider Remix) [mp3]

Beck - Jack-ass [mp3]

Back to Beck and his samples...this one is my favorite. Van Morrison & Them's version of Dylan's "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" was playing at my buddy Seth's place one day, and my antenna perked up, making mental connections, and searching the databanks for the link. Didn't need a dish or cable, my ol' antenna processed the signal just fine and with very little fuzz, thank you very much. The echo-y keyboards and guitars, it's the backbone of Beck's "Jack-ass" from Odelay. Both songs are among my favorites. The Lowrider remix sounds more than a little dated. Sounds like the Stereo MC's or something. It's sorta rare though, I guess...if that means anything anymore in the age of limewire...

Guess Who's Back?

King Koopa is back in the game.

Mick Jagger w/ Ry Cooder - Memo To Turner [mp3]

Say, did anybody else notice Beck sampled Herbie Hancock's "Chameleon" for his new single "Cellphone's Dead"? Here's a high school band playing "Chameleon", from DJ Shadow's compilation "Schoolhouse Funk".
