album track

So I’m guessing the Album/Track blog has to do with the movie we just saw in class last week.  SO basically the movie was about how a wide variety of artist and different producers sample different bits and pieces of old songs, instrumentals, and things of that nature.  Even if the sample was only 2 seconds or just one snare flam, they still considered this as a sample.  Back in the day it wasn’t really a big deal, but once these old ass has-beens started going broke, they started being petty and looked for the smallest chord or instrumental they had in their song and tried to sue and received all of the royalties.  One of the most famous samplers I came across in the movie was a drummer by the name of Clyde Sshutterfield.

I know this means something

I don’t really know if “this” means anything so I googled the 4th of February to see what was historically significant on this day. Soooooooooooooooo I came across the Barbie doll.  YAAAYYYYYYY!!!.  Today was the first day of the invention of the Barbie Doll. This doll was created by Ruth Handler, who was one of the founders of the Mattel Company. Barbie was named after Ruth’s daughter. Later on, when the Ken doll was made, it was named after Ruth’s son.  Barbie is a fashion doll manufactured by the American toy-company Mattel, Inc. and launched in March 1959. American business woman Ruth Handler is credited with the creation of the doll using a German doll called Bild Lilli as her inspiration.
Barbie is the figurehead of a brand of Mattel dolls and accessories, including other family members and collectible dolls. Barbie has been an important part of the toy fashion doll market for fifty years, and has been the subject of numerous controversies and lawsuits, often involving parody of the doll and her lifestyle.

Recipe

There are a lot of fine dishes in the world and there are a lot of unique recipes out there.  I would say that my favorite recipe of all time would have to be the recipe to make French toast from scratch.  I came across this recipe when I was about 8 or 9 years old when I saw my mom making French toast.  I was so eager to know things back then so I asked my mom how to make it and so she did just that.  The first thing you have to do is gather all of your ingredients.  You will need cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, sugar, bread, milk, and eggs, oh and a bowl.  Once you get the bowl, you’ll crack as many eggs as you want (depending on how hungry you are).  Then you add the cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, sugar, and milk in the bowl and mix it up.  After you mix it well enough you dip the bread in the bowl until it covers both sides of the bread.  Put it on the skillet and enjoy and wait for it to be done then enjoy!
