UncategorizedComments Off on MF DOOM – Operation Doomsday Deluxe Reissue
The history of MF DOOM’s debut album OPERATION: DOOMSDAY is a spotty one – it’s been released in at least two different versions on different labels, out of print, bootlegged, and even released once with a cheap scan of the original cover.
This Spring DOOM’s own label Metalface Records will be releasing the first complete & remastered version of OPERATION: DOOMSDAY, containing the original album, alternate versions, b-sides and instrumentals – 51 tracks total – with all new artwork and two deluxe, metal formats:
LUNCH BOX 2/CD andMETAL 4/LP BOX each containing a 32-page lyric book, and set of 10 cards with images of the Operation Doomsday MCs.
Stones Throw will have an advance sale on these two formats. Complete photos and pre-sale will be announced soon. The artwork, which we previewed last year, was created by Jason Jagel and Jeff Jank, who also designed Doom’s 2005 album MM FOOD.
This event is 21+.
We are giving away a pair of tickets to the show. Winner will be drawn from people who hit us up and will win a pair of tickets. Winner will be notified via email by 1/20/11. Courtesy of Synergy Works.
$16 General Admission
$6 Youth Under 24, Elders 65+

UncategorizedComments Off on Haiti – A Year of Action
A year after the massive earthquake in Haiti, many of the people affected are still without shelter or the help they need. We donated our portion of proceeds from fund raising shirts to Doctors without Borders (Obey’s portion of sales went to Artists for Peace & Justice). Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is holding an online event tonight called A Year in Action to answer questions about their medical programs in Haiti.
Hear first-hand testimonies from some of MSF’s medical aid workers, and ask them your questions about the reality on the ground after the devastating earthquake, during the autumn flooding, and now during the current cholera outbreak.
Panel Event Featuring:
Sophie Delaunay, Executive Director of MSF-USA
Dr. Greg Elder, Medical Deputy Desk Manager for Haiti
Michelle Mays, MSF Nurse with two assignments in Haiti in 2010
Jason Cone, Director of Communication for MSF-USA
Thursday, January 13, 2011 from 8:00 PM – 9:30 PM (ET)

UncategorizedComments Off on Murs – Varsity Blues 2 (Produced by Aesop Rock)
Produced by the incomparable Aesop Rock, here is a first look at Murs’ upcoming project Varsity Blues 2. The song proves to be one of his hardest hitting records as of late, with fierce lyrical content aimed towards the doubters and non-believers. This album serves as the sequel EP to his previous Varsity Blues project that dropped back in 2002.
