J Dilla Donut Shop for Serato. Out on May 10th. Pre-order here.
I am in love with these J Dilla donut turntable slipmats! The vinyl on this posthumous release from the great J Dilla contains three previously unreleased instrumentals from Dilla’s extensive catalog (Safety Dance, Sycamore, and Bars & Twists), as well as three previously unreleased instrumental versions of Dilla’s production for Mos Def, Q-Tip and Busta Rhymes, all remastered by Elysian Masters. A must for vinyl freaks and fans of real hip-hop alike.
Nick Cave, Ramblin’ Mind. From the new Jeffrey Lee Pierce tribute record, We Are Only Riders.
Nick Cave’s moving cover of Jeffrey Lee Pierce’sRamblin’ Mind can be found on the new tribute record for former Gun Club vocalist, We Are Only Riders. Fittingly, Pierce’s original guitar track for Ramblin’ Mind croons along with Cave’s mournful drawl on the completely stellar cover. Cave also collaborated with Debbie Harry on the track, Free To Walk.
Peter Lardong of Berlin making chocolate records. Yes, really.
At first Peter Lardong tried to make records out of sausages, beer and cheese. Lardong was finally successful when he decided to use chocolate. Unbelievably, the chocolate records actually play music.
With the amount of wood I’m surrounded by (pun intended) here in Seattle, it’s not surprising that I find Audiowood’s handcrafted wooden turntables completely irresistible.
Audiowood’s turntables run from $1000 to $3500 depending on the design specs. The company’s founder, expert woodworker Joe Scilley, also enjoys collaborating with clients on custom wood turntable designs.
Some Audiowood models are available at Anthropologie. More via Audiowood.com.

If boozing was an olympic event, we would be on a box of Wheaties. If this all sounds familiar to you (and your mother), welcome home.
