Oh wow, so that‘s where „The World Is Yours“ melody is from!

And I agree, I‘ve also been listening a lot to Gang Starr, especially Moment of Truth since it‘s my favorite album by Guru and Premier. It blows my mind how good the beats are on this release.

I find it really impressive how neither DJ Premier‘s or Pete Rock‘s beats are insanely complex but everything fits together so perfectly. Same with guys like J Dilla and Madlib.
Yeah, I’ve been recently(in the past few months) back into listening to Madlib. Digging this track.


When I listened some Bobby Hutcherson(some cruising home music), I hadn’t realised Madlib sampled it.

Nice! I honestly think sampling is an artform in itself and Madlib is one of the best at it. Speaking of which, have you listened to the projects he did with Freddie Gibbs?

Had to check my playlists. I’ve not listened to any of the MadGibbs albums. I’ll have a listen. I have listened to a few Madvillainy pieces, but they’re also not on my playlist.

I can 100% recommend Piñata and to a bit of a lesser extent, Bandana. Don‘t get me wrong, Bandana is by no means bad but Piñata is almost a flawless album imo and the best thing Gibbs has ever released. „Shame“ alone is one of the best beats I have ever heard!
 


You can set the playback speed in the settings, I love listening to this wonderful song.

@Populuxe I'm glad to hear you survived that horrific crash Saturday, sorry for late reply. I was inactive for 4-5 days. I hope you recover and get your strength back, take care.

Currently watching/listening to Queens of the Stone Age: Alive in the Catacombs on my PC. Looking forward to watching it on my big screen in my bar/games room at a more appropriate volume (which is just under clipping :D) on Saturday night.

Here's the trailer and description.

Filmed and recorded in July 2024, Queens of the Stone Age: Alive in the Catacombs captures QOTSA as you’ve never seen or heard them before. This utterly unique once in a lifetime experience features a carefully selected setlist spanning the QOTSA catalog, each song chosen and epically reimagined for the Catacombs. The result is an unprecedented incarnation of QOTSA at their most intimate, yet surrounded by literally millions of human remains — “the biggest audience we’ve ever played for,” says Joshua Homme. Every aesthetic decision, every choice of song, every configuration of instruments… absolutely everything was planned and played with deference to the Catacombs—from the acoustics and ambient sounds — dripping water, echoes and natural resonance — to the darkly atmospheric lighting tones that enhance the music.



The track list is very well suited 👍. $15AUD well spent.

Edit: Just to add, the Alive in Paris and Before documentary was well worth the pre-order.

After I posted The Distillers awhile ago, I did some digging around as it's been awhile since the public break-up of Brody Dalle and Josh Homme. There were accusations from both sides about domestic abuse. I, as a fan of The Distillers and not QOTSA, leaned more toward Brody's account, especially with Josh kicking a phone out of a fans hand at a gig...

Due to events that happened after it drifted from the spotlight, Josh now has full custody of their kids and a restraining order against Brody, so... 😂

Back on track though, I haven't started listening to music yet today (it's 8:18AM), but I'm sitting somewhere between these two for general mood for the day.

I try and stay away from all the soap opera BS of music/movie stars home life and just judge them on their talent alone, so I'm still a fan of both bands but yeah, it was a weird situation, and one I had to dig into a bit deeper than I would have liked. You can probably tell by my my profile picture I'm a huge QOTSA fan.

It turned out Josh was not to blame at all and that Brodie's boyfriend at the time forged her signature to file the complaint against Josh. Some full on Jerry Springer stuff :lol::lol::lol:.
