The Rotofugi booth just became a must-visit.

This is easily one of my favorite records of the last 10 years. I can generally resist the pull of a “deluxe edition” of something I already own, but the goodies here might be too good to pass up.

CD Madvillainy “2” The Madlib Remix. 25 tracks. Read more below.

7-INCH “One Beer (Drunk Version)” Madlib’s original 2004 version, lost until recently on the floor of his Bomb Shelter studio. If you saw the studio you’d understand.

CASSETTE The Madvillainy Demo Tape. 12 tracks, 36 minutes. This is the first and only official release of the infamous Madvillain demo that “leaked into cyberspace,” while the album was still in progress, as DOOM alludes to in the lyrics of “Rhinestone Cowboy.”

T-SHIRT Nominated. Best Rolled L’s. Madvillain shirt.

COMIC BOOK Meanwhile… the continuation of the All Caps video, included with the CD.

THE BOX 12×13x3 inches. Wrapped in a silver like a mask.

I mean, a cassette? Dern. You can pre-order it here for $125. Kinda steep.

Work and otherwise have conspired to keep me from my pledged photo postings. I’m leaving in the morning for a much-needed and long-awaited vacation.

I will miss you guys.

Back soon.

(not even a week in and I fanned on one. oof)

Swear.

**edit to add (after poking about for the proper cable…)**

A complete replay of the 6/30/84 American Top 40 hosted by Casey damn Casem.
We had drinks and listened to a solid hour of it. I hadn’t heard some of that stuff in 24 years.
Good time.

a Stella F. original.
