The most appropriate topic for my first post in the collective Zilber blog would be food. This afternoon, a trio of Zilbers enjoyed Father’s Day brunch in South Philadelphia. The menu included (sorry for the poor quality pictures):
-kiwi mango banana smoothies
-prosciutto topped with homemade creamed spinach and sunny side up egg baked in a muffin tin
-banana walnut flax pancakes
-(not pictured) strawberry rhubarb bread pudding with refreshing mint iced tea
Five hours later I am still full!
after being told by some lazy good-for-nothing reader that my lebron james video was so last year (which it was, indeed, but still bad-ass all the same) i wanted to do some research about what might be newer and interesting.
but my memory is a little fuzzy, and so i recalled a rap song that used bartok, some music in lost that really blew my mind, little samples that me and jon had tried to figure out.
researching the topic, i came across an initial blog that was pretty rad, dedicated to the preservation, celebration, and restoration of all things vinyl
http://www.libraryofvinyl.org/
yet a random link on their blog pushed me to an even more incredible and endlessly entertaining website, which catalogs and categorizes samples of every kind
http://www.the-breaks.com/
so here’s a few gems from that website that i found….
bartok used by rap artist dr. octagon in “blue flowers”
steve reich used by orb in “little fluffy clouds”
the eclectic homeless blind viking composer moondog used by mr. scruff in “get a move on”
