A Day in the Death of Donny B

I stumbled across this while searching the new public domain channel available via Roku. It might be hard to believe but the government paid for this film to be made in 1969. For an anti-drug film, it's surprisingly not-cheesy. It's shot documentary style, including footage of Donny B (the film's junkie namesake) going about his day, and interviews with friends and community members. The soundtrack, this looping, psychedelic lament is courtesy of Harry Holt.

This is one of the commercials from Robert Downey Sr.'s 1969 satire Putney Swope. Pretty awesome.

"Hey, Hey" I recognize that from somewhere.



Normally, when I go digging for music, I don't really try to find things that have already been sampled by other people. However, sometimes I stumble across samples I never previously knew existed in the first place.

Such is the case with this Gershon Kingsley song "Hey, Hey" of his 1969 release Music to Moog By.

Take a listen.


For the life of me, I can't remember where I know this song from. I think it might be from a DJ Shadow track, but I thought it was on Entroducing, which I'm wrong about, unless I missed it somehow when I just went and checked.

If you can remember where this is from, please enlighten me.

Inspect this track further.
