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 – the 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.
MP3s:
Madvillain - Money Folder
Madvillain - Boulder Holder
Kid Cudi - Cleveland is the Reason
Two Sheds - To Be Alive
Dr. Dog - The Old Days
The Notwist - Boneless
Band of Horses - Wicked Gil
Jeff Tweedy - Pecan Pie [Live at SF's Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival]

Stones Throw, you thought I forgot didn’t you? Late June my ass. Oh well. The tracks we have been waiting for are finally here:
In late 2005, Ghostface Killah and MF DOOM were both recording over tracks from J Dilla’s instrumental opus, Donuts, which saw release the following February. Some of these were released on Ghostface’s Fishscale in 2006, while others, including a Dilla-Doom project, were postponed indefinitely after J Dilla’s passing. Two of these tracks, “Sniper Elite” and “Murder Goons,” are presented here for the first time. The two are taken from two sequential songs off Donuts, meant to mix together. We are presenting the two songs unmixed, plus the two mixed together as a bonus track.
Since this is only a two-track release, I won’t leak it (at least for now). Support Stones Throw and and go buy Sniper Elite and Murder Goons on their official site. And no, I can’t account for the change of name of the track “Sniperlite” to “Sniper Elite.”

Gorilla vs. Bear, one of our favorite music blogs, informed us of an upcoming Stones Throw release that has us salivating in expectation:
In late 2005 Ghostface Killah and MF DOOM were both recording over tracks from J Dilla’s instrumental opus, Donuts, which saw release the following February. Some of these were released on Ghostface’s Fishscale in 2006, while others, including a Dilla-Doom project, were postponed indefinitely after J Dilla’s passing. Two of these tracks, “Sniperlite” and “Murder Goons,” will be released digitally, exclusively through Stones Throw’s webstore, due to launch in late June.
I’m speechless. You can bet your ass that as soon as Stones Throw makes these downloads available we will let you know. When is “late” June anyways? Isn’t late now? Come on, Stones Throw, we can’t wait any longer.

This is probably old news to many of you, but apparently the official soundtrack of NBA 2K8 is a collection courtesy of Stones Throw founder Peanut Butter Wolf. Personally, I think all basketball video games suck, but with tunes like this to play along to I just might have to change my mind.
Released in October of 2007, 2K8: B-Ball Zombie War features impressive tracks from Madlib/Quasimoto, MF DOOM, Oh No, Percee P, Aloe Blacc, J Dilla and Stones Throw up-and-comers Guilty Simpson and James Pants. In other words, if you appreciate true hip-hop this is definitely an album you’ll want to pick up.
I’m still trying to figure out why the Stones Throw label doesn’t get more media coverage or radio play – I don’t think I’ve ever heard them put out a bad album. Then again, maybe a low profile is part of their formula.
MP3s:
Quasimoto - Hydrant Game (Jaylib Remix)
Guilty Simpson - Make It Fast
Aloe Blacc - Find a Way

I would have to say that this mix was inspired by my trip to Rasputin Music in Berkeley yesterday. I could probably spend all day in there listening to CD after CD - there’s just something hypnotizing about the place…
MP3s:
Gnarls Barkley - Charity Case
The Breeders - Overglazed
Spiritualized - Sweet Talk
Wilco and Billy Bragg - Feed of Man
Arctic Monkeys - Fluorescent Adolescent
Chris Keup - Still Down
J Dilla - Mash’s Revenge [f. MF DOOM, Guilty Simpson]
Paul McCartney - Momma Miss America
Kevin Drew - Big Love
Phosphorescent - A Picture of Our Torn Up Praise
