so the amen break is turning 50 this year. the Winston's Color Him Father / Amen, Brother single was released in may 1969. i thought i might arrange some kind of tribute compilation but i'm too lazy. anyway how do you intend to celebrate? share your feelings on the subject. |

I watched 1/4th of a yt description. It just seems like a large memetic megaphone was given to a drum loop by historical accident. It's just another thing to memetically snowball, like for example wikipedia probably considers this break 'notable' therefore their newspeak bots won't ban the article. So now someone is incentivized to use this break merely for viral advertising. Like some popular asshat, like say justin beiber, the guy who said in 'carpool karaoke', some sort of plutocracy ritual, that he throws his slave made underwear away everyday and just buys new ones (does he even make music I don't know) say he uses this break in his music. Now wikipedia says 'notable people who notably used this: justin beiber' (meaning snowballed fake shilled viral celebrity people). so now justin beiber and the break both get more fame, and since it's illegal to homestead land, and everything is rigged, fame practically IS the ability to live. If you don't chocolate rain yourself in a giant cringe compilation for hyperinflation paper, you're not allowed to live anymore. So essentially the amen break kills people, along with justin beiber, by monopolizing the whole information spectrum, and thus money and ability to live too. Just like how everyone rich is so illegitimately, since the whole system is so inverted, everything popular is so illegitimately too. We need a complete inversion, when the meek inherit the earth, the amen break won't be notable, as it shouldn't be. One guy's drum loop? Centralization like everything else. Amen break is napster, we need bittorrent to break down all shitty long pieces of memetic dna and rearrange them. "The slightly selfish big bit of chromosome and the even more selfish little bit of chromosome"-dawkins the amen break is a huge bit of chromosome, a forced meme, standing in the way of memetic evolution. |

it's a deeply funky piece of sound but i think it'd have to be chopped up small and repurposed before i could listen to a whole compilation. it'd be hard to find a new angle, which is not to say we shouldn't try, but yeah. it's only so ubiquitous cos it's so good and versatile i guess |

If xltronic was still alive we could do an amen break vibes. Maybe we still could, there's enough of us for an EP. |
