The last post about The Hood Internet<\/a> reminded me of another set of remix\/collage records: Double Dee & Steinski’s “The Lessons.” There’s a detailed Wikipedia page about them<\/a>, but the short version of their bio is that they made “Lesson One” for a Tommy Boy Records contest back in 1983. They won first prize, then recorded a couple more Lessons before moving to other careers. I thought that was it, but today I learned that they released the long-evolving “Lesson 4” last year. The bandcamp link for the EP with the track is below.<\/p>\n

They aren’t afraid to use weird samples. “Lesson Three” includes snippets from “Hernando’s Hideaway” and Mars Needs Women. De La Soul must have been at least partially inspired by them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
