S2 E2 Pitching Samples: Drums - Playlist Episode Artwork

The Good Music Show

Welcome to the Good Music Show with Danny and Julius! Each episode they will give each other an album or playlist based around a theme, then talk about the music and artists that make it. They'll cover a wide spread of artists that they care deeply about: from 2Pac to Willie Nelson, John Prine to Donna Summer, Ray Charles to Future. Keeping an open mind to new styles allows Danny and Julius, as well as listeners, the opportunity to step out of individualized music bubbles and find new music to love.

S2 E2 Pitching Samples: Drums - Playlist Episode

October 28, 2024 • Danny and Julius • Season 2 • Episode 2

We had to take a few weeks off, but we are back with an episode that is almost as good as the music featured in it - AND THE MUSIC IS VERY GOOD!

The idea was to pitch songs that should be used in a sample. Such a fun thought experiment that we thought we should focus on a specific instrument so we could make this a series. So today we present the drums edition of this playlist-based concept.

First we'll get into Danny's playlist, featuring 8 songs made up of 2-song pairings that exist in similar spaces. We'll cover country, gritty rock, swampy soulful country funk, and then a random pairing of songs that happen to work fantastic together.

Then we'll get into Julius's playlist which covers grunge, Krautrock, and soul - a mix of songs that will have you dancing along while craving buttery chicken. With the last minute addition of a Bjork song it rounds out to 8 classic songs, old and new, that you can jam out to in any setting.

Songs featured in this episode:
Gettin' Happy
Hang You From the Heavens
Tulsa Turnaround (Tyler Childers Live at Farm-Aid)
Melt Not My Igloo (Common Remix)
Vitamin C
Terrapin (Conductor Williams Remix)
