Panther Picks (Episode 10) - Yup, Another Name Change

Anyone notice anything different? Hmmm… Yeah. New name AGAIN. I think this it though, I like the ring of Panther Picks. Don’t you?

This week I’ve got some real good stuff for you. I understand not everyone is as obsessed with Madlib as I am, but he just released a remix of Madvilliany which, of course, is only available for digital download at Stones Throw. To give you a little taste, I posted the original version of “Money Folder” along with its remix “Boulder Holder.” Along hip-hop lines, Kid Cudi’s new Mix Tape is interesting, if for no other reasons than the fact that it samples the likes of Band of Horses, Gnarls Barkley and many, many more. Enjoy “Cleveland is the Reason.”

Once again, I’ve also got to give Adrian over at ipickmynose credit for turning me on to something new – Two Sheds’ 2008 EP is money. And speaking of new music, you best pick up Dr. Dog’s Fate, an album that in the past two days has been playing non-stop on my iPod – Aquarium Drunkard also informs me that they are incredible live.

Another week, another reason to listen to music.

    Band of Horses references not one, but two former Sonics – Detlef Schremp and Kendall Gill. Just thought everyone should know that.

    I was always curious about Detlef Schrempf - the song has absolutely nothing to with the player, basketball or Oklahoma - ooohhh, sorry

    [...] posted a Jeff Tweedy rarity in Panther Picks this past week and it just sucked me back into his wonderful acoustic world. In fact, I think I would pay more to [...]
