Three is the magic number...or is it un, deux, trois, quatre?

Just saw a very cool documentary tonight on PBS called Copyright Criminals (Independent Lens) about the history of sampling in music.  Fascinating stuff and I was so interested to see that a few records I owned (and loved) way back in the day could likely have not been made with current day sampling legalities. (i.e. De La Soul's Three Feet High and Rising - one of my favourite albums from highschool).

Anyway, I discovered Eclectic Method via this show and upon checking out more of their brilliant work online, found this video which I thought some of you might appreciate.  I think it's a fun and funky little piece of work.  Make sure your sound is on.

See.  Kids are not only totally amazing little people, they also make for tremendously original samples.
