Ghostface/DOOM album supposedly coming soon

Shouts out to reader Machiventa for the information:

"Nature Sounds responded to a message I sent that the Ghost Doom album is almost done and they'll be announcing the album soon"

Hopefully Nature Sounds is not bullshitting and gets this album out soon. DOOM himself has said it was close to being done when asked about it in interviews leading up to the release of 'BORN LIKE THIS.", so lets hope we get it before the end of '09.

Mini recap of DOOM at the Pitchfork Music Festival

Can't really find much about the performance, other than many low-quality videos on YouTube and some message board chatter from those who attended.

Word is that the real Dumile showed up and performed, as he did back in May at Soundset in Minnesota.

Here's a couple of pretty good videos I found on YouTube from fans who attended the festival, and a photo of DOOM on stage. (Photo courtesy of dub_g from the ST board)

'Madvillain 2' complete?

J.Rocc & Madlib were recently over in Paris for a few nights doing Stones Throw shows, and we're hearing that J.Rocc spun a couple of cuts from the new Madvillain album.

DOOM has said he will have some more releases this year, so is the second Madvillain album coming soon? I certainly hope so.

[There's some footage of J.Rocc spinning the MV2 cuts on YouTube, but the audio quality is terrible and nothing can really be made out]

Stones Throw also posted this picture from the tour up on their website...

Toney Starks claims to have finished his parts of 'Swift and Changeable'

In a recent interview, Ghostface Killah was asked about the status of 'Swift & Changeable', his long awaited collaboration album with MF DOOM. Here's what he had to say...

Speaking of villains, is your collaboration with MF DOOM [Swift and Changable] ever going to come out?

I just finished all my parts to the album, so it’ll come out soon enough.

Ghostface was also asked about the "DOOMposter" situation which had been going on:

What's your opinion on DOOM's sending a lip-synching imposter to perform at his shows?

I never heard that... I don’t think that’s true, but you know somebody must be under the mask. That shit’s crazy.

I guess Ghost hasn't read any of the new DOOM interviews...
