as a guitar/bass/synthesizer player trying out sampling, I can honestly say, sampling makes those look easy, it actually requires skill and a shit ton of patience to create something incredible, it should be an artwork left alone...

@tyson1ize The music industry is dieing because of illegal downloading, not because of sampling. Furthermore, I play keyboard, and I also sample. I can say first hand from someone who does both, that sampling is more difficult than simply playing a jam on the keys. It is much more challenging to make it work with your other elements.

What is the song @ 32:00?

Albini is such a sanctimonious tool. Heck, his rudimentary punk band even used a Roland TR-606 instead of a REAL drummer. What a dick. And half the bands he's produced did little more than slide a power chord up a guitar neck anyway. That's REALLY easy.

Good documentary. Even though some artists didn't get paid for their samples, they still got their music sampled. That's exposure. It's not like an artist that gets sampled completely loses out, like some of these lawyers are saying.

So what does this mean for a group like The Avalanches? Or if you don't know of The Avalanches, what about the more popular Girl Talk? What are the implications?
