so, I was reading about Beck on wikipedia the other day and learned that many of the samples from Where It’s At come from a record called …
Sex For Teens (Where It’s At)
I googled the record and found a blog that has the entire record ripped as 2 mp3s. I’m listening to it now and it’s one of the most amazing things I have ever heard. Click the album cover above to give it a listen. In the meantime, here are some of my favorite lines …
- “you must be the most stupid broad in the world” (the very first line!)
- “look, there’s no word that is, within itself, vulgar. words are made vulgar by inappropriate use. what often sounds vulgar to one’s ear in one context may sound delightful and exciting in another.”
- “you’ve never gone on a bummer?”
- “he does put me down and that beefs me!”
And those are all in the first 6 minutes! The middle one reminds me of something George Carlin said in one of his early 70′s routines. Something like “there are no bad words. there are bad feelings. bad intentions. but no bad words.” I completely agree.
