Songs with Samples (w/ A Tribe Called Quest, Afrika Bambaataa, Beastie Boys, & Glass Animals!)

Your Diarists are back on the mic, cold chillin' in effect.  Today's assignment?  Serve up examples of fly tracks with *samples*.  Riffs and bass lines, beats and lawsuits: sampling is the story of the 80s, the 90s, the 00s ... of the last 40 years, really.

All kinds of surprises in this episode: Carla makes The Case for Portishead, rattling Mark in the process; Bob continues his will-he/ won't-he flirtation with Sabbath, and Brad presumes to announce The Best Song of the 1990s.  Oh, and did you know Fatboy Slim played bass for the Housemartins?

Joining the Playlist today is a fun batch of twelve songs (plus their samples) from A Tribe Called Quest, Fatboy Slim, Moby, Beastie Boys, Chapterhouse, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Dirty Vegas, Beck, Arctic Monkeys, Afrika Bambaataa, Portishead and Glass Animals.
 
Listen through the episode's end music for a little surprise.
