Anyone else eaten too much every day for the last week? Wholesome indulgent fun. I tried educating myself on the history of Christmas (eg. Coca-Cola didn't create the modern image of Santa, it was editorial cartoonist Thomas Nast) but the article? TLDR. 4LA FTW!
I enjoy knowing where artists draw their inspiration (and samples) from. I enjoy it when artists their own interpretation of another artist's music.
For example, covers and parodies;
Pastime Paradise → Gangsters Paradise → Amish Paradise
Or samples;
Cola Bottle Baby → Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger → Stronger
Notables that often come up in conversation (radio, mix tapes, parties) are Tainted Love (Gloria Jones → Soft Cell → Marilyn Manson), Superstition → Karma, I Wish → Wild Wild West, Smooth Criminal (Michael Jackson → Alien Ant Farm). Stevie Wonder songs seem popular, maybe I'm simply more familiar with the originals of these tunes.
You got any favourite covers/samples/remakes? unbenownst to the greater population ;)
Oh, and check out this pic. Took me a second to work out what it was of, but once I did I loved it. (larger version, img by José Emroca)
