10 Years, well kinda…

Uncategorized Comments Off on 10 Years, well kinda…

We started this crazy journey in ’99, but we took The Giant Peach site live on May 25, 2000.  People still bought CDs (dang, they still even made cassettes).  The site started with music & merchandise from ABB. Dilated Peoples, Hip Hop Slam, Ledisi, Quannum (and soon after Live Human, Stones Throw & Def Jux).  Many thanks to Stinke &  Meca, Colm, and everyone who has contributed to the site over the years.

Celebrate our 10 year anniversary with an extra 10% off  all day today (the 25th).  Enter the code 10YEAR at checkout (it will take it off the item price).  Thanks for the support!

Stones Throw Office Visit

Uncategorized Comments Off on Stones Throw Office Visit

We usually communicate with Stones Throw via email or see them at shows…we haven’t had a face to face meeting in years, but we were recently in L.A. to chop it up in person.  PB Wolf was in the studio, but we did see J.Rocc (and I think briefly Krondon?) roll through.

Jason manages the office (amongst other things…)

Kota handles distribution in Japan.

Joe was coordinating new releases & production with their distributors.

Egon!

Nate, who handles all the digital distribution.  He’s also the proprietor of  Innovative Leisure Records featuring releases from Laser Sword (from SF)  and Mexicans with Guns.

Celeste, the lone lady, holding it down in the warehouse.

David (along with Nick…not pictured) pulls the bulk of the orders.

Some of Playboy Eddie’s ST pieces on the wall outside the office.

And some of the other pieces have DOOM stencils.

ST HQ also happens to be down the street from the very first Forever 21 (still called “Fashion 21”) .  Not sure that the local residents even realize all of the empire-building taking place in their neighborhood.

Parra @ Project Space

Uncategorized Comments Off on Parra @ Project Space

Sorry, realize that an opening is never the optimum time to take photos, but these were some of our faves from the Parra show at Project Space.  Top photo is Jamie from Stones Throw with Parra who declared his new works, his “black and white period” (with a laugh).  Prepare yourself for some new shirts from him coming soon…

Stones Throw says that the shirts are slightly delayed…rest assured that we’ll post them as soon as we get them.

Update: We are now not getting any shirts due to “Stussy’s company policy regarding online retailers”.  Sorry about that.  Please hop over to stonesthrow.com to pre-order.
