this song inspires me to make music and quit at the same time.

BTW,
That Chevy commercial that has 'Building Steam...' made me think about the album not aging well.

Not so much because of the songcrafting, but the importance of the album was because it flipped alot of conceptions about hip-hop albums - sampling which used simple elements, needed to include rappers, had to be based upon soul or funk, was more adrenaline than thinky.

Endtroducing paved its own lane, but the greatness of that record is based upon knowing the significance of an album made with so many samples and its impact on music at that time. It would be impossible to explain or convey to someone interested in the album what a change on hip-hop culture and style of production the album made.

As I said years ago, the album is the only example of a "Bob Sandwich", and it is musical double entendre. It's a letter to/about hip-hop and it's a letter to his then-girlfriend, now wife. Like a few other albums, I hear it visually. "Changeling" is the one that stands out as I will always see a certain bridge I grew up near towards the end of the song, and now I can't hear that part of the song without seeing my "vision". You cannot take away the power of MIAPW either or what BSWAGOS means. It's not only crate digger nerdism, but there are puzzles within the songs and one has to figure out what he was trying to say. When you hear the crackle during the end where they play the sample to TWIN PEAKS, you know exactly what part of that scene represents: the 78rpm playing at the *end* of the record as "Bob" shows up. "Bob" showed up at the beginning of the album ("Bob Wood, national program director of the CHUM group, worked with us in producing..."), and when you look at the word BOB, you could also say that it may look like the number 808, as in a drum machine. Anyway, I'll shutup.

it would've been MUCH better than what was published. it wasn't horrible, but it was basically a looong magazine interview of stuff we all already knew anyway.

i remember your "bob sandwich" theory too! that's the kind of stuff that should've been in the book.

in a similar manner to johnbook, this track evokes certain images to me. plus, the drum programming absolutely blew my mind when i first heard it.
