And considering how obscure the source of this sample is-a flexi-disc included with a 1971 book about communicating electronically with the dead, written by a Latvian psychologist named Konstantin Raudive-I think it’s mayyyyybe safe to assume that someone in 3rd Bass was a Smiths fan, and that mayyyyybe they actually took the sample from a Smiths record and not from the original source…but what do I know! Those crackles sure sound like they line up, though. You are sleeping… Now, if you’re a Smiths fan who appreciates Morrissey’s excellent use of samples, you’ll know that this is the very same sample used at the end of “Rubber Ring” (3:33 mark). They both used the same sample! If you skip ahead to the 22:18 mark above, the beginning of “Triple Stage Darkness,” you’ll hear it: You are sleeping, you do not want to believe.

Visual Cities by Mariadiamantes / Cactus printġ. Confetti Riot / Cactus print tea towel and pillows- white and peachĦ. Sea & Asters / Geometric Cactus Planterĥ. Or maybe it’s succulents in general, since I can never seem to remember what makes a succulent a cactus.Īnyway, I put together a little collection of some of my favorite cactus-themed stuff. I don’t know if it’s because of the time I recently spent in Marfa with Daniel, or it has to do with all of the still-living (!) plants in my apartment, but lately I can’t get enough of cactuses.
