oops. I forgot how early Rota died. Now you bring it up, I remember it quite well though: it was the first time I had this feeling, that some essential part of the culture of the century that I love was going to die. Fellini's death was another such event. And Dali's and Kubrick's...
As for Rota covers, I have to mention the Fibonaccis, one of the bands on the Index label, that was founded by the president of the Residents fan club, Phil Culp. All of these seem to have disappeared mysteriously.

That's my only contention. A group like Tipsy does good things with samples. Quite a number of hip-hop groups, and very inept "ambient" musicians do bad things with samples.

no rules! if in the context it makes sense, even a long known sample can be OK. I forgot who mentioned it, but samples can be hommages to a certain artist and songs too.

They want to stiff paying composer/lyricist royalties to music publishers.

Subject: (exotica) pink panther
this is maybe a silly question, but can anybody tell me what the pink panther (Inspector Clouseau feature films played by Peter Sellers) has to do with the animated pink panther figure? Which was first? What's the connection?
