The Bowling Green's "Think What You're Doing" samples the guitar & bass riff from a song by the Carry Nations, the oh so lovely fictitious group from Russ Meyer's "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls." Its that opening guitar bit that is eventually married with an Amen break. Anyone remember that FAQ on rec.music.industrial where some compulsive/obsessive guy did a break down of all the little vocal samples in Skinny Puppy songs? I think we are on are way to building a similar list! :-)

All I can say is that this movie is very highly recommended by myself. It also featured the Carry Nation song, "The Gentle People." Roni Size also sampled from it. It is such a brilliant movie in that it is cheesey but was not filmed to be so cheesy, the actors were serious while Roger Ebert and Russ Meyer both had a laugh because they knew it was a cheesy but didn't tell the actors. Ohhh and Z-man. Well Z-man, erm? Great stuff. Rusty

<no idm content at all (sic)> That is one of my favorite movies ever. The guy who played Z-Man Barzell deserved an Oscar (or a lobotomy). "We are the Gentle People/Spread love across the land/"We are the Gentle People/We're the only ones who understand" The ultimate piss-take on soap operas and romance movies. Jeez, what a flick.
