omorkaSo last Movie Night we ended watching a 50-minute documentary on sampling. Afterwards, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bassfingers pointed us to this 20-minute documentary on the "Amen Break," the six-second drum break from the Winstons' 1969 b-side "Amen Brother" - which has been sampled and modded into ubiquity for decades. (The documentary noted that something similar has happened to James Brown's "Funky Drummer." And the two drummers involved - Gregory Coleman and Clyde Stubblefield, respectively - never got a dime from any of it, beyond what they got from the original recording.)
Apparently it Amen Breaks when it is Amen Breaking time. The Slacktivist cited it today as part of a metaphor about momentary toss-off inspirations causing larger changes down the road (a bit Butterfly Effect, a bit mindfulness meditation).
Third?
