Ode to the Amen Break

On the Sweet and Sour Variety Hour this week, we have a set of songs that I have hand-picked from my heaviest rotations in the past year, followed by
the fascinating tale of The Most Sampled Loop in Music History by Great Big Story. After that, we hear another set of songs that each sound pretty different, but are all examples of what can come of the “most sampled loop in music history”, the Amen Break.

Here is the file fer downloadin’ which airs live to a million people in the Coast Salish area via terrestrial radio station CHLY-FM 101.7 on Wednesday October 14th 2020 at 8am PST

Here is a list of the music that played

  • The Avalanches – If I Was a Folkstar
  • Jack Stauber – Buttercup
  • Luke Temple – Hard Working Hand
  • Lady Wray – Guilty
  • Great Big Story : The Most Sampled Loop
  • The Winstons – Amen Brother
  • Amy Winehouse – You Know I’m No Good
  • Pomplemoose – Lovely Day/Good As Hell Mashup
  • The Prodigy – Breathe
  • Barrington Levy – Here I Come Drum N’Bass

This episode is dedicated to Gregory C. Coleman, a man who got pretty much no compensation for the moment he rocked out on his drum kit and changed the future of music forever.

Broadcasting to about 1 million human souls in the Coast Salish area from the power transmitter of the mighty terrestrial station known as CHLY-FM 101.7 on the morning of September 9th 2020, 8am PST.

We’re just passionate people working for little or no pay to bring you the fat goods. I’ve been donating money once a month for eight years, and donating my time every week for longer than that.
