DC bringing some records back to the basement...
Here's an idea that I had for a new TV Show. It would be called "Iron Chef of Beats", and you would get like Cut Chemist, Madlib, Shadow, etc. guys like that. And you would give them 10 LPs, and give them an hour to make a track. We would purposely put an LP in there that had a break or some open drums, so partially it would be a test of record knowledge because they would either have to search through all the records to find the drums or the break, or know exactly where it was.
We would also put in like some wacky obscure Russian children's record or weird opera record or something. Judges would critique the tracks on overall quality, but also get bonus points for using all the records, and also points for originality for using the wacky record, etc.
I think that would be a quality tv show... anyone here work in TV? Please make this show and then pay me a royalty for coming up with the concept. "IRON CHEF OF BEATS!" Even the name is dope!

I'd watch it.
Sounds fun, DC are you a contestant or a judge? Maybe the host, you could be the Ryan Seacrest of beats.
It should actually be joe Schmoe's against Shadow, etc... those guys are the "Iron Chef" and you have to beat them.
Seacrest? More of an Alton Brown.
Speaking of which - you could have also have your own show - "Good Beats".
Anyway. That's enough Food Network nerdus from me for the day.
You're onto something. I dig it.
