the new james pants is great. sounds like a mixture of ariel pink and john maus. also, he is channeling some strange religious vibe, i can tell he has been listening to a lot of the christian psych stuff ( dr hooker, azitis) and somehow mixing that with his usual electro/soul/post punk tendencies. its fucked up in a good way...i think the people who expect more of the last record the quirky hip/hop/party/electro stuff will def hate it... he's gone somewhere else with this one.

hope you're right about the Ethiopium, I wanted to like the Oxperiments album but it was pretty arduous. Couple good beats though. When a couple stonesthrow ppl + cut chemist opened for Mulatu this year, they were all fuckin great.

Oscar you are making it sound like the new album takes after the Psychick Almanack mixtape which is making me VERY excited

guess paul whites plan to release limited edition albums/singles full of cut-n-paste samples (e.g)to get attention paid off then.
― mark e, Tuesday, 9 November 2010 15:56 (thirteen years ago) link
lol I'm not sure it "paid off" given that the above is a free podcast

no, but an increase in profile via stones throw is not going to hurt.i can definitely see the ST fans loving pauls production style.

Got word recently that Stones Throw worked out a deal to put together a comp from Little Rock's True Soul Records. I'm so happy about this. Will finlly get to hear the catalog without chancing upon the (way less than) occasional 45 in the local Savers. You'd think being here in Little Rock it'd be easier to come across this stuff.

In "why is this on Stone's Throw" news, they're putting out the Anika album apparently. Which is produced by the Portishead guy. It sounds like Nico singing over ESG acetates.

And she covers "Masters of War" and "Terry," one of those "why did my boyfriend have to die on his motorcycle" tunes originally by Twinkle.

wasnt feeling the j rocc album. sounded like a bunch of fake dj shadow tracks - not at all what i expected from j rocc as it just wasnt very funky really (liked play this too a bit though). the one sampling nas was great, and the very last track was great. the rest of it though, nah. sounded quite tired. shame as hes such a great dj.

Georgia Anne Muldrow's new album drops in March with Madlib producing. First time he's produced a female artist too, I believe.
― Frozen_Warnings, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 14:50 (twelve years ago) link
well he produced a few tracks for NuAmerykah pt. 1
still, this might be something to look out for!

actually went back to strawberry incense on pt 2 yesterday, rad.i heard the first song from this record & wasn't really feeling it, but'll listen to anything he's doing right now, so still optimistic
― quick brown fox triangle (schlump), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 14:55 (twelve years ago) link
I probably should give Olesi some more listens: last time I played something from that album, I was v pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it
― incredible shrinking man on euphonium (Drugs A. Money), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 14:58 (twelve years ago) link
Olesi's a wonderful album... in partic, Leroy.
― Harvey Weewax (stevie), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 15:12 (twelve years ago) link
I should have said this will be the first complete album Madlib has produced for a female artist. Lots of potential, hopefully.
― Frozen_Warnings, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 15:22 (twelve years ago) link
not to mention the best track on pt 2.
i wasn't too into that muldrow/madlib track i heard, but would kill for a full badulib lp.

not necessarily stones throw but that forge your own chains comp that now-again put out a while back is p incredible

Come to think about it, I don't think Georgia's new one is on Stones Throw.
― Frozen_Warnings, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 16:28 (twelve years ago) link
haha, it isn't - just received a tweet saying she's not been on the label since 2006
