Girl Talk - Bodies Hit The Floor

I re-listened to his first two albums today, and while my opinion on them hasn’t changed, this track stood out.  Probably because it’s the most like his last three albums and has only a minimal amount of the distorted digital noise that plagues his early work.

Sublime - Doin’ Time

Wikipedia:

“Doin’ Time” is a loose cover of “Summertime” by George Gershwin, composed for the opera Porgy and Bess. The track heavily samples a cover of “Summertime” by jazz flautist Herbie Mann, a live bossa nova version from his album Herbie Mann at the Village Gate. The band originally recorded the song with the lyrics “doin’ time and the livin’s easy”. In order to release the song using the Gershwin sample, the band had to agree to use the line “summertime” instead of “doin’ time”. However, the song was already recorded with the “doin’ time” lyric, and lead singer Bradley Nowell had recently died of a heroin overdose. The lyric was re-recorded by Sublime’s friend/producer Michael Happoldt singing “summertime”. It is this version of the song that appears on Sublime’s self-titled album.

Death Cab for Cutie - You are a Tourist

And if you feel just like a tourist in the city you were born
Then it’s time to go
And define your destination
There’s so many different places to call home
Because when you find yourself the villain in the story you have written
It’s plain to see
That sometimes the best intentions are in need of redemptions
Would you agree?
