2007-11-24 17:37:00 Mariah Carey - Merry Christmas [1994]She's been hailed for her multi-octave vocal range--a tool that sometimes detracts from her pop recordings, but actually works quite beautifully in the context of this charming holiday collection. Fans will surely approve of Carey's renditions of slinky secular songs like "Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home)" and a nicely subdued "All I Want for Christmas Is You." But where she really surprises is in her unadorned delivery of a passel of traditional carols, highlighted by "Silent Night" (which she sings quietly, avoiding the temptation to wail those high notes) and "Jesus, Oh What a Wonderful Child." A must for diehards, and a pleasant surprise for the unconverted.Peanut Butter Wolf Presents - Badd Santa [2007]In 2005 and again in 2006, Stones Throw's Peanut Butter Wolf posted holiday mixes. This year, we're taking things a step further with our first officially licensed holiday album, combining obscure vinyl archaeology - the weird, the stran...

2007-10-28 19:57:00 Peanut Butter Wolf presents CHROME CHILDREN Vol.2[2007]The follow-up compilation to last year s hit collaboration with Adult Swim provides even more exclusive tracks ranging from hip-hop to funky soul to electro-new wave and even jazz from the likes of Madlib, Four Tet, Dabrye, Percee P, & many more.Charizma & Peanut Butter Wolf - Big Shots [2003]Bay Area MC Charizma and his crate-diggin' pal Peanut Butter Wolf entered the game in rap's blissful Golden Age. Due to label drama and Charizma's tragic 1993 passing, most of their work was vaulted - until now. Big Shots unveils classic one-two sonic jabs from a duo whose affinity for hip-hop should make Common proud. The tracks are unearthed in time-capsule fashion (nothing much altered) with 15 first-class jams serving as an ideal early-'90s hip-hop snapshot. Most of the innocent-sounding tunes like "Devotion" and "Fair Weathered Friend" boast Wolf's static-stamped production and Charizma's lighthearted vocab. Sure, joints ...

Peanut Butter Wolf Makes Valentine’s Day Livable
2007-02-15 07:01:02 I’m obviously not the first to say it (and undoubtedly won’t be the last) but Valentine’s Day kind of sucks. If you don’t have a significant other to share it with, you feel lonely (and pathetic for feeling so). If you have someone to share the day with, any romancing feels cheap (and not in a good way). The central conundrum that develops then is what is a substance-loving (as in the opposite of Valentine’s day), artistically inclined, romantic to do on this February the 14th? Enter Peanut Butter Wolf (a phenomenal hip-hop producer) and Stones Throw Records (his [adult swim] loving, progressively awesome, label). PB Wolf crafted a killer mix-tape that goes from smooth soul to funk and even flirts with the King of Pop, clocking in at just under 30 mins. Grab this mix and bring some substance back to a day that seems to suck the life out of you - it is as good as it sounds. Put it on for your loved-one, maybe bake some of these delicious cookies, and jus...
