So last night, my brother was listening to "Blood On The Motorway" on DJ Shadow's "The Private Press." At about 2:44 on that song, there's a sample of a voice saying "It's Easy... it's like breathing... it's like a heartbeat." Upon hearing this, he realized that the voice sounded rather familiar. After listening to it several times over, he read in the credits that it contains a sample of "It's Easy" by Marc Z., who just so happens to be my uncle, Marc Zimmermann!
no joke.
just thought that was a bizarre coincidence y'all would find pretty interesting...

No, he did the record sometime in the late 70s and he's lost touch with this record label since (he lives in stokholm now).
haha, we called him up today, and he was like "no shit! what a trip! ooh, I have to go get this!" I don't think he was angry about the copyright thing... :)

it's such a mindboggling coincidence.....
That DJ Shadow has his album, which was produced by a very small record label in New York and limited to under 1000 copies.
That I happen to like DJ Shadow and that I bought it.
That my brother had heard my uncle's LP when he was a young lad and recognized it (I never would have!)
That DJ Shadow has a release entitled "Unkle"
holy shit!
I'm finding this more and more hard to believe....
