Ok, so i figured this is something you'd all be vaguely interested in knowing: the face melter of a guitar lick from MF Doom's Rapp Snitch Knishes is sampled from a cover of Bowie's Space Oddity by a little known artist named David Matthews. The album the cover appears on is called "Dune", released in 1977, and as you'd expect, is all songs inspired by Frank Herbert's novel. Quite original. A funked out, druggy keyboardist decides to release a funked out druggy album about a funked out druggy novel. It's the only cover on the album, but in all honesty I can't hear anything from Bowie's original in the short sample from MF Doom's song. I've listened to both a few times and can't find it. It makes me really want to hear the David Matthews version, though I can't seem to find a sample of the song, or album anywhere. The album sounds like it's pretty shitty, as I'm sure Mr. Matthews is as well. But hey, keep an eye out next time any of you is at a used music store, that'd be a sick find.


P.S. - Lance, I realize there's a large chance you already knew all of this.
