Nah. I mean, look at "Hello Teenage America":
- The rhythm track comes from Joy Division's "Incubation" flexi-disc
- The rolicking piano bit comes from Really Bland's (oops, sorry, "Steely Dan")
"Rikki Don't Lose That Number"
Does this mean that Jack Dangers is the bastard offspring of Ian Curtis and
Donald Fagen?
I don't think so ... :-)
Jack is an inspired sample-meister, that's for sure. And he can also smoke me
under the table (not that that's hard, but it still impressed me (-: ) ...
I have this sorta vague hazy memory of a San Diego Meat Beat show I saw once ...
