#150 - San Antonio Symphony Dissolved | “Ample Samples” | “Guess the Guest”
The San Antonio Symphony, nine months into a labor dispute with the orchestra musicians, decided to dissolve as an organization last week. First opened in 1939, the Symphony has been mired by financial troubles in the past decade, but it makes San Antonio the largest U.S. city without an orchestra. Nick wants to know why this matters and that’s what we discuss… [San Antonio Report]
Song: David Fiuczynski - “Bright Size Life”
Greg is coming off a slew of shows in Western Pennsylvania and was settling down in his parents place in Maryland when he joined us with a brand new in hand. In “Ample Samples” we listen to a song and try and figure out what later song sampled it. Some sound identical to they source and others have been significantly altered, this one was fun, we hope you enjoy.
Original Song -> Sampled Song:
King Floyd - “Please Don’t Leave Me Lonely” -> Wu Tang - “For Heaven’s Sake”
Jackson 5 - “All I Do Is Think of You” -> Jay Dilla - “Time: Donut of the Heart”
B.B. King - “How Blue Can You Get” -> Primitive Radio Gods - “Standing Outside A Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand”
Jay came up with a clever variation on “Guess the Guest”, a game where we hear a song and have to name the guest singer or musician. We can’t tell you what the clever variation is, because that would give it away…but we can show the songs he picked. Let us know if you get it before Nick & Greg do…
