Following on from my Chemical Bros. and Pink Floyd post….
The Specials – Little Bitch appears to have a riff ripped from it, slowed down and then put into the Dandy Warhols – Bohemain Like You song.
Or did The Specials get it from elsewhere in the first place? Leave me a comment if you have any ideas.

OK, so I’m sat here, configuring 60 scripts for my article websites (see the category list on the right), and Pink Floyd starts playing in WinAmp. I suddenly think some Chemical Brothers has somehow slipped in. Nope, it is just that Chemical Brothers – Block Rockin’ Beats is pretty much built around a sample from Pink Floyd – Let There Be More Light.
TBH, I’ve not listened to a lot of Floyd, until this evening. I ‘obtained’ a 9CD set for John a while back, but I’ve been listening to my MP3 collection in chronological order, and so it took a while to get to them. (To any people laughing right now, I got bored of listening to the same tracks over and over, when I decided to listen to every track for once. As there are currently close to 15,000 tracks on the hard drive (or about 55 days solid music), I decided that method was as good as any).
Anyway, I’ve now had my 5 minute break from the exciting work of transferring to a new advertising company, so back to the grindstone I go…
