all owls are f*cking high owls iirc

grudging thanks to rym's comment box for that song, because I could have easily gone my entire life without encountering "You're Beautiful (Uncensored Album Version)" in the wild

eight months pass...

If I were a dusty boom-bap producer, I would sample the guitar from the beginning of this Sarah Vaughan version of My Favorite Things, and the hits from the bridge around 2:00. Incredible version btw.

I've been listening to lots of old prog lately and noticed the bass intro to "Time To Dream" by Greenslade. Would be a good loop.

Three Rings for the Elven Bishop (Dan Peterson), Wednesday, 12 July 2023 14:47 (nine months ago) link

I would use the first 15 seconds of the season 4 (1977-78) opening credits of the sitcom Rhoda.

Great intro! Thanks for that.
Billy Goldenberg also wrote & conducted the score for a Columbo episode 'Ransom For A Dead Man'.

Would love to loop the intro into an electronic song.

I have a bunch of these in this playlist

There’s so many already I don’t even remember which parts specifically made me think “eureka”… might need to really get into learning how to produce and start using them until I get sued.

^ Moka I am really enjoying this mix. Thank you for sharing!

Yeah I like listening to it for inspiration - even though I don’t have a band or know how to use a DAW lol.

any of the first 30 seconds of The Rolling Stones “Monkey Man”

That Rhoda intro is great, I don't remember it ever starting like that. xp

Three Rings for the Elven Bishop (Dan Peterson), Monday, 17 July 2023 15:01 (nine months ago) link

I didn't either bc till now I hadn't watched the show beyond the first three seasons, which lack that intro. It's weird how the intro is all minor and synthy and then the main part of the theme comes in all major and jaunty, with a melody - as I saw someone online point out - quite a bit similar to a 1908 composition called "The Yama Yama Man."
