Ok, it’s time for a change. The only thing we’ve been neglecting consistently is this damn website. Please accept our sincerest apologies. From this day forward, we solemnly swear to give you some kind of update at least once a week on this thing… probably on Fridays. We also vow to make a concerted effort to give you at least one new, awesome thing to listen to every week via our podcast stream (link is to the right).
We’re staying busy. New music being recorded every day. New videos being shot. Album artwork being finished. Everything.
At the moment, you have two things to look forward to in the near future. The first is PJ Katz’s sophomore album, “92 Renault Music”. We recently shot a video for the first single entitled “Marshall Applewhite” featuring Giant Gorilla Dog Thing and Gorilla Tao. This will be one for the books. All we can really say about it right now is COWABUNGA!
The other thing to get hornied up about is Giant Gorilla Dog Thing’s debut album, HORSE. You’ve seen the first video. There’s already another one done. And another one scheduled. And more after that. In the meantime, we’re cooking up treats to hold you over. Remixes of ERIC songs from your favorite producers. New exclusive songs that will only be heard be those who pay close attention. The second mixtape and second album are already in the works.
Other than that… Brain Cave Deluxe? Unsavory Characters? New Dez solo record? Dood Computer producing a record for Masai? PJ Katz producing a record for Gorilla Tao? A top secret, 5-person group EP that we can’t give any details about? Yes to all of them.
Oh… and there are new PFR and GGDT shirts in the webstore. Start dressing better.
Yes, it’s here. The day you’ve all been waiting for. For the first time since you got that hand job in 6th grade, you have a date for Valentine’s Day. No, it’s not Jenny McCarthy or Cindy Crawford. It’s not Pamela Anderson either. It’s someone much better… Grizzly fucking Grimace. Sit back, relax, and eat all the candy that you bought yourself… alone… in the dark. Cover your whole body in lube, and quietly weep about the one who got away while you listen to this horny work of art. This is available for free for one month only. Vinyl after that. Get it while you can.
1. We’re in the process of filtering through some things and taking them off of our webstore. Mainly, the goal is to only continue to carry things from PFR artists. Hopefully this will help reduce the clutter.
2. The exception to this is going to be the “Albums Featuring” section of the store. As we continue to build this up, we will be offering physical copies of more and more outside projects that the PFR roster has been a part of. We’ve already started adding some things, click the “store” tab up top to check it out.
3. We put a bunch of stuff on sale, priced to move. We’ve got a lot going on 2012, so we need to make some room. Click here to check that out.
Holy shit. It’s been a minute. Do you like cool news? Great!
We here at Pig Food Records are pleased to announce not one, but TWO delicious additions to our roster. They even have their own fancy little artist pages, which you can access from the menu above. For lack of a better system, let’s go in alphabetical order.
Elsphinx is a wonderful young gentleman that we met a long time ago. So long ago in fact, that it was when Doom Fist was still a thing. Weird, right? Anyways, he’s a monster. Check out his page for links to all his social networking thingies, as well as his bandcamp page. Everything on there is free, and well worth it. At the moment, he’s in the process of recording his upcoming album, “Brain Cave Deluxe.” Guaranteed banger. We’re also going to be pressing remastered physicals of his most recent offering, HAZMAT. Keep an eye out for that. Lastly, he just recorded this wonderful little jingle for you to suck on. It’s free, so go like it. http://www.mediafire.com/?053vdfn3l6gyn0b
Second. If you have even one working ear in your skull, you might be familiar with PJ Katz and not even know it. Check the man’s discography… which we will be updating soon. The man of a million keys/samples/drums/whatever else isn’t allowed to enter any sort of production battles, because a law was passed in 2003 stating that he automatically wins. He’s that good. He’s got an instrumental project in the works entitled “Raw Material”, which you can download a track from via the PFR podcast (link to the right). In addition to that, he’s handling 100% of the production on the upcoming PFR compilation (which has yet to be named)… more details on that as we get them.
Deep breath. Soak it all in.
If you want to listen to these splendid gents talk, they have both been guests on “The World and Why,” and both episodes (along with a slew of others) can be downloaded by clicking the button to your right.
I’m sure by now, you’ve all seen this somewhere. Maybe you ignored it. If that’s the case, here it is again. Don’t ignore it this time, dickbag.
Mr Dibbs, the innovative DJ and producer, the one who has given so much of himself and his heart through music, entertainment and now food, has come to a place in his life where he is in need of our help. Last month he was diagnosed with Cirrhosis which is the scarring of the liver and poor liver function. It is the final phase of chronic liver disease. He is no longer able to work being that he is in and out of the hospital too much. In just a month, having no insurance, his medical bills have reached over $485,000. Please, if you can spare it, any amount would help. You can make donations directly to Brad through the paypal account email Hellkitchen@netzero.com. Go to PayPal.com, click send money, in the TO address type in: Hellkitchen@netzero.com. You can follow Brad’s progress at www.twitter.com/mrdibbs. Thank you all.
I had a bunch of other stuff to put up on here, but fuck it. The only thing that matters today is that Whole Lies and Half Truths is available now! Buy that shit.
Sorry for not updating this page nearly as often as we should, folks. The main issue is that we’re too busy doing things to update about. Don’t believe me? Suck on this:
Grimace
Grimace‘s “Human Nature” remix contest. No, we didn’t forget. After the grueling process of narrowing down all the submissions, we’ve got it down to our top 5 (democratically chosen via overcomplicated process by Grimace, Dezmatic, Dood Computer, Dizzo, and Le Parasite). Click here to cast your vote and decide the winner.
In addition to opening up the voting for the remix contest, we are also pleased to present you Grimace’s first video offering from “Whole Lies and Half Truths”. We figured the most logical choice for this one would be “Human Nature“, so take a look to your right and spread it around like… something that gets spread around.
Dos Noun
As some of you may or may not know, we here at PFR like to consider ourselves sophisticated, learned gentlemen. We’re not, but that’s what we like to consider ourselves. To perpetuate this facade, we’ve got something very special in the works. Our good friend Dos Noun has written a book. I know what you’re thinking – “A rapper who can write?!?” Weird, we know. Click the cover to download a digital version of the book FOR FREE! We will be pressing and releasing physical copies in the very near future, so keep checking back for that. If you’re still not convinced enough to click, here’s a brief summary from the author:
In Philadelphia, a city dominated by crime, the last man of the last crew of Jewish gangsters to run in the city survives a catastrophic attempt on his life. Alone, hunted, and addled by drugs, he haunts his past life, searching for the clues as to why and who destroyed him and his crew. But he has to survive long enough to get an answer.
Shit is rad. You should download it. Then you should buy it. Once you’ve read it twice, you should do drugs off the cover. Just an idea.
Muscle City
No sense in explaining this one.
Aside from that, make sure you’re subscribed to The World and Why. You can do so by clicking here. Giant Gorilla Dog Thing is coming. Force Back to Sleep is coming. Dizzo’s album is coming. Great.
