A groove that isn't quite so serious
Yeah, I’ve been recently(in the past few months) back into listening to Madlib. Digging this track.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.

When I listened some Bobby Hutcherson(some cruising home music), I hadn’t realised Madlib sampled it.
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.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?
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!Had to check my playlists.

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) 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.
