Smock on

‘MJ’ from France makes music and he’s sampled U2 for two of his songs. He writes: The first sample is ‘bullet the blue sky’, used in ‘Outside is america’, and the second one is ‘viva davidoff’ (rare track from the passengers) used in ‘never trust a man smocking a cigar’. Which seems like very good advice. Stream or download.

  1. eh … not only does “Outside is America” sample “Bullet”, but musically is also sounds to copy “The Fly” or “Lady with the Spinning Head” in its chorus. It sounds like it hits C# and then A — when you hear it, start singing the falsetto “Love, we’ll shine like a burning star …” or the “la-la-la’s” from “Lady”. I remember back in the early-’90s a rapper (Redhead Kingpin, I think) sampled the drums from “Bullet” and created a very ill song. It was dope.

  3. I’ve also got my own music going, and although it doesn’t sample U2, it does have obvious influence from the lads. My first album came out last year, (though it’s due to be fixed up a bit) and I have a 5 song EP coming out next month. Please check it out if you all get a chance. I’m sure you’ll find it worth the visit. Just visit http://www.enderhq.com Take Care.
