In this episode we discuss fake drug addicts, retiring vs quitting, blowfly stories, what happened to my car, and more.

Now Available: Blueprint “Weightless Radio” Album
Last year when Adventures in Counter-Culture was released I created an exclusive instrumental album to be given away free with all pre-orders that were sold through Fifth Element. The name of the album was Weightless Radio: A Collection of Blueprint Instrumentals and, outside of the people who pre-ordered the album on Fifth Element, it hasn’t been available anywhere else prior to today. In fact, there’s a lot of people who had no idea that this record even existed. Therefore, I have decided to make this album available here on Printmatic.net for the first time. Check it out:http://printmatic.bandcamp.com/album/weightless-radio-a-collection-of-blueprint-instrumentals
It it only available in digital format at this time and it is also available on Amazon.com
At an hour-long and 27 tracks in length, I believe Weightless Radio is a very dope record.Thanks for the support!

Bon Iver “Woods”: Kanye sampled this
Every time Kanye West puts out a new record people rush to expose all the samples he uses. At this point I’m not sure if the purpose of publishing these lists is to discredit him, demystify the production process, or to give him props. All I know is that every time the list is revealed I’m always impressed by how eclectic his music selection is. Even for a hip-hop producer the range of what he listens to is pretty impressive, particularly in regards to the time periods. He’s one of the rare cats that is equally aware of both new and old music.While there’s a youtube video floating around that details all the samples on Kanye West’s new album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, I noticed that there was one song missing from it. This song is called “Woods” and it’s by Bon Iver. Posting a song that somebody sampled in itself is kind of boring to me, unless the song is really dope, and this song is really dope. In fact, I can honestly say I’ve never heard a song that sounds like “Woods”. It’s some one-of-a-kind shit:

Mike Hankinson: J-Dilla Sampled this…a lot
I’ve had this album for a while, maybe since 2002 or so, but recently rediscovered it. The record is by Mike Hankinson and it’s called The Unusual Classical Synthesizer. It was released in 1972, which was back when synthesizers were the new thing to experiment with, and everything on this record is a synth version of a classical song. For those that dig for records you know these types of records aren’t really hard to find once you find them, but this one is cool to me because the very first song on it was sampled by J Dilla like 2-3 times. Even with him hitting it up so many times, it’s still got a ton of parts that can be used. Check it out. Download it if you like it.

My latest project, titled Blueprint Who is now available. It is an EP that’s about 25 minutes in length, and it will only be sold on tour and here at printmatic.net. It will not be available on i-tunes or anything like that due to me not wanted to be sued out of house and home for sampling what I want to sample. Plus, i-tunes takes out too high of a percentage anyways, but that’s another story altogether.
There are THREE versions available. Pick your poison:
#1. CD VERSION
The Blueprint Who CD version is $4.99 plus shipping. It starts shipping on Tuesday Sept 7th and comes with a FREE 11×17 poster (see below poster image) and the instrumentals to all songs. Use the add to cart button to pick it up.

The Free Digital Version of Blueprint Who will not include any of the extra stuff above, and the price is determined by what you decide to pay for it.
