Stones Throw Records 2009

By Afolabi
stones throw

The gents of Stones Throw Records were kind enough to make a stop on their current tour in Boston last Monday.  The lineup featured Dam Funk, James Pants and The Royal Zodiac Band, Mayer Hawthorne, and Peanut Butter Wolf himself.  You should already know about Mayer Hawthorne from The Jumpoff "Soul Week" on here a few months ago, but i highly recommend getting to know each of the other names i just mentioned.  If you appreciate originality, creativity, and a constant insistence to go against the mold, get to know Stones Throw Records. Here as a sample, is the futuristic funk stylings of Dam Funk.  I'll put up something more comprehensive later, just so you fully understand how deep their roots lie.  Can you dig it!!!

Tarrrrr!

By Afolabi
Here's 5 cuts from some native children to help commemorate the University of North Carolina Tar Heels Mens Basketball team winning their 5th National Championship.  No, this is not my official squad.  But they beat the team that beat my team, so i will forever be grateful for that.  It's ok, we'll see them next year.  Go Panthers!
