I once had a life, or rather, life had me

The other song I wanted to post was a song by Sleigh Bells, a band I've posted before on a soundtrack but never actually written anything about them. This song is pretty unrepresentative of their other work, which is fine I can just like a few songs by a band, I don't have to love the entire discography. Regardless, the song is "Rill Rill" which has really awesome instrumentals. Little did I know though that they sample, or at least rework, another bands music for this, the very stylish, Funkadelic. The song is awesome and I think reworks the track in very interesting way making it much more pop-y. The original song by Funkadelic was a pretty good gem to find out of all of this as well, and gives the instrumental and entirely different feel.

"Can You Get To That" by Funkadelic from Maggot Brain (1971)


"Rill Rill" by Sleigh Bells from Treats (2010)
