Hi everyone! Welcome to Drum Channel! I'm Billy Amendola, and my guest Dan LeRoy, has written what I would say is the most definitive book on the history of the drum machine and its importance to songwriting and musicians, and how that sound became acceptable to become the music heard around the world. In this segment, we'll discuss his book “DANCING TO THE DRUM MACHINE“ (How Electronic Percussion Conquered The World). Dan dug deep with research, and the results are astounding! The book includes everyone from the inventors to the builders to the engineers, producers, songwriters, and musicians who made it the most popular sound since the late 60s till today. I highly recommend this book in your music library. Thanks everyone for listening, I appreciate you all very much for your support. Billy Amendola and I'll see you next time. Let's welcome Dan LeRoy to Drum Channel. Enjoy!

#95Pastor Dan Leroy: Holiness and the Wesleyan Church by Wesley Seminary Podcast
Dan LeRoy, the man who literally wrote the book on Paul's Boutique (both the 33 1/3 entry and a follow up For Whom the Cowbell Tolls), joins Bill and Brian to talk about the Beastie Boys and their 1989 sophomore album. Dan talks about discovering the band as an early adopter of rap and then loving this album in his college days. Dan also shares his experience of writing his books and working through the many samples present on this album. Dan, Brian, and Bill discuss the Dust Brothers and Matt Dike's influence on the album, the maturation of the band, the importance of (or lack thereof) a hit single, Adam Yauch guiding "A Year and a Day," Mike Diamond disavowing how important their contributions are, and much more as we make our way through the album track by track!

A chat with Dan LeRoy, the man who wrote the book, um, books on Paul's Boutique. His contribution to the 33 1/3 series, in my opinion, is still the gold standard of that collection.
After spending millions to steal superstar Brooklyn-based rappers the Beastie Boys away from Def Jam Records in 1988, Capitol Records had high hopes for the act’s follow up effort. And why not? License to Ill (1986) had sold over five million copies while topping the Billboard charts. MTV had fallen in love with the trio and played their videos around the clock. By all accounts their next LP would be another MTV-ready commercial monster. But as Dan LeRoy recounts in his eminently entertaining and essential Paul’s Boutique(Continuum, 2009), the Beastie Boys had a different agenda. They took Capitol’s money and relocated to Los Angeles to party, write and record the new LP. Rather than spend their advance on expensive recording studios, they laid down most of the tracks in the living room of one of their collaborators. While at work, the Beasties — and their producers the Dust Brothers — drew on an encyclopedic knowledge of pop music as they selected the hundreds of samples of other artists’ recordings that they would use (in a legally dubious manner) on their new album. Released with much fanfare in the summer of 1989, Paul’s Boutique would kick off one of the more inexplicable album cycles in pop music history. LeRoy notes that the album lacked a true single and likewise, the Beasties chose not to tour behind it. The final result was an LP that went over the heads of most Beastie Boys fans and dropped from the charts within months of its release. As Le Roy demonstrates, however, Paul’s Boutique has come to be recognized as a revolutionary album that presaged the ways in which pop music is created and consumed today. Dan LeRoy is Director of Literary Arts at Lincoln Park Performing Arts Charter School in Midland, PA. He has written for the New York Times, Rolling Stone, Newsweek, and many other publications. He is the co-author, with Michael Lipton, of Twenty Years of Mountain Stage, a history of the NPR musical variety show, and The Greatest Music Never Sold: Secrets of Legendary Live Albums David Bowie, Seal, Beastie Boys, Beck, Chicago, Mick Jagger & More!
