Hmm I don't know about that whole sampling idea. It's not that I don't like songs with samples in them, it's just that I'm not sure we should make a whole edition around that idea. If you want to use samples, then sure go ahead, I even loved the songs with samples on the previous editions that some of you guys did.
I have to say I really like the "Summer" idea though, since it will probably get released around then just in time. Plus it's a pretty open theme. I'm pretty sure if we make a Summer 2009 album, some of those who listen to it (us included) really will end up assiociating next summer with our album. It could have a pretty big impact!
It could be a nice surprise for everyone and a nice way to kick off an awesome summer.
