You critizie our method of how we make records you said it wasn't art, so now we're gonna rip you apart Stop, check it out my man This is the music of a hip-hop band Jazz, well you can call it that But this jazz retains a new format Point, where you misjudged us Speculated, created a fuss You've made the same mistake politicians have Talkin' all that jazz

'sitcom' refers to al's love for the mid 90s nbc show 'hope and gloria' & 'hotel opera' is some shitty indie rock album he likes

doesn't percee p have a record coming out on stone's throw?
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51F1KT7FzHL._AA280_.jpg
it's out now ..... I like it. madlib keeps it pretty simple on the production, just basic james brown type loops, and keyboards that have that 8-bit squashed through an SP sound
new version of Put It On the Line kinda sucks though, the 12-inch is way better
― dmr, Saturday, 20 October 2007 21:05 (sixteen years ago) link
the koushik stones throw podcast is pretty lush... i think he has an album out later this year, and i love his work: splicing late 80s hip-hop sounds to late 60s harmony-heavy psychedelia, like Madlib if all he was sampling from was countless different versions of the soundtrack to Hair.
― stevie, Friday, 18 July 2008 12:45 (sixteen years ago) link
I plan to listen to his album in the next hour. I got it in the post yesterday and thought, wtf is this doing on Stones Throw - that said the press release makes it sound like more of a Panda Bear type thing so I dunno.
Stones Throw are also doing an anthology thing of Arabian Prince which I'm trying to snag a promo of at the mo, it sounds really good

― and what, Friday, 18 July 2008 13:19 (sixteen years ago) link
i'm guessing he's on Stones Throw cause he knows Peanut Butter Wolf. that Percee P album has some great moments, but it's a lil too much to take all in one sitting. Which is how I expected a Percee album to be.
i really like a couple Koushik tracks, didn't notice he did a podcast. it's of his songs?
xposts
― Granny Dainger, Friday, 18 July 2008 13:26 (sixteen years ago) link
his remixes of hip-hop tracks... is very good.
mancap - rocketscience are promoing the arabian prince, it is awes, we were playing it incessantly in plan b offices last week. who is doing koushik???
― stevie, Friday, 18 July 2008 13:37 (sixteen years ago) link
In House Press. They've sent it almost three months early. Weird.
Based on the first few tracks of this album I could see this blowing up by the end of the year
― DJ Mencap, Friday, 18 July 2008 13:44 (sixteen years ago) link
i shall seek it out - i can totally see koushik crossing over; i love his stuff.
does anybody have the stones throw 2005 sampler? anyone know who the nameless (presumably 70s/80s) funk artist who mumbles drunkenly for ages after the 'strange games' remix is? it's like some funk blooper or something, but i have, of occasion, become obsessed with this weird vignette.

koushik's album is the best thing stonesthrow released there I said it

― deej, Friday, 18 July 2008 17:10 (sixteen years ago) link
in all seriousness it was kind of surprising to me that the first album didn't blow up cuz of all the mbv shit it's mired in, but now that the dude has a respectable and semi-overlooked album out, this new one will probably be huge
― uh oh I'm having a fantasy, Friday, 18 July 2008 17:12 (sixteen years ago) link
Koushik's prior disc(s) or his forthcoming disc?

there is a lot of bad "post-graffiti" coffeshop art in the liners (and some OK pieces too) but the music is *almost* (not quite) uniformly great.

― uh oh I'm having a fantasy, Friday, 18 July 2008 19:30 (sixteen years ago) link
i bought the album on warp when it came out and listened to it nonstop for like three days, but then i put it away and haven't dug it out again. so yes, i do, but i'm not flying lotus superfan or anything like that. i think maybe because i already do listen to a lot of straight-up electronic music - and i got into rap etc. via electronic music - i'm not as committed to the jay dee sound as i might be otherwise. but i really do like madlib's productions a whole lot (to the point where i am buying his "mind fusion" mixtapes and stuff like dudley perkins) and i like flying lotus best when he's sort of straddling the two sounds.
― moonship journey to baja, Friday, 18 July 2008 19:34 (sixteen years ago) link
rather than his earlier plug research stuff where he just sounds like, i dunno, push button objects or something.
― moonship journey to baja, Friday, 18 July 2008 19:35 (sixteen years ago) link
i shouldn't say that, this is still the jam, particularly "maercs", "pboory" and "chewbacca on crack"

yeah I understand this. I don't even listen to that much electronic music, and I like his shit when I hear it, but I rarely ever feel the need to listen to it when I have to make a choice. I used to buy everything with madlib's name on it no matter what and stopped about last year. Daedelus is the one guy out of the three who I still want to listen to a lot.
