The Stones Throw crew has been cooking up something nice (or naughty) for you boys and girls. Peanut Butter Wolf's Badd Santa features not-so-classics from The Quad City DJs, James Brown and Georgia Anne Muldrow. We're already sure you and yours will be bumping out those timeless cuts by The Temptations, Smoky Robinson and The Jackson Five as you open presents and get belligerantly drunk as you recall "the old days", but this might be the year to mix it up a bit. Tracklist and press release after the bounce.

In 2005 and again in 2006, Stones Throw's Peanut Butter Wolf posted holiday mixes on www.stonesthrow.com. This year, we're taking things a step further with our first officially licensed holiday album, combining obscure vinyl archaeology - the weird, the strange, the funky - with old fashion Happy Holidays style for Chrismtmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, and whatever else you may celebrate.
From the funky rap free-for-all that is "Cold Chillin' Christmas" to the snow-free Miami booty bass of "What You Want For Christmas" by the 69 Boyz & Quad City DJs, Wolf has got your vintage hip-hop bases covered.
For the funk lovers, there's the slept-on classic "Go Power At Christmas Time" by James Brown and a little-known Soul Saints Orchestra tune from the Poets of Rhythm archives called "Santa's Got a Bag of Soul." From there, the comp ranges stylistically from reggae to avant-garde robot singing. And if that's not hot enough to roast your chestnuts, then check out the exclusive contributions by Stones Throw artists James Pants, Georgia Anne Muldrow and Baron Zen.
