Guess the sample

Have you heard Travie McCoy's new single, "We'll be Alright"?


Hm... that chorus sounds awfully familiar.
That's right; the song liberally samples Supergrass' 1995 hit "Alright."


Given that I heard the McCoy song four times on the radio last weekend, I'd like to congratulate Supergrass on finally having a hit in America.

Foo Fighters to tour with Supergrass

The Foo Fighters have announced that Supergrass will be joining them for their summer US tour. Foo Fighters are currently riding their third Top 10 modern rock single off of last year's Echoes, Silence, Patience, and Grace. Supergrass, meanwhile, haven't had a modern-rock charting single since 1997's "Cheapskate," which skated into the lower reaches of the Top 40.

They remain quite popular in Europe, however, and just released a new album, Diamond Hoo Ha.
