The anniversary of DOOM’s death is so weird because he died on Halloween but it didn’t go public til NYE. It’s like this man died twice and took out two holidays with him lol. A true supervillain. It’s DOOM all day today
Can’t believe it’s been a year already. Mad. I’d say RIP, but being the villain he is, he probably wouldn’t want that
Madvillainy 33 1/3 | Stones Throw Records This book celebrates Madvillainy as a representation of two genius musical minds of MF DOOM and Madlib melding to form one revered “supervillain.” Written from the alternating perspectives of three fake music journalist superheroes-featuring interviews with real individuals involved with the album's creation, this book blends fiction and non-fiction to celebrate Madvillainy not just as an album, but as a folkloric artifact. It is one specific retelling of a story which, like Madvillain's music, continues to spawn infinite legends.
This is a pretty grim read. Some details about his passing are coming to light. Feel awful for his wife. Famous musician's wife has question over his care after sudden death in Leeds
The Mouse and the Mask is one of my favorites from Doom, Born Like This is great too, but i would start with Mouse and the Mask.
I have mixed emotions about a biography about him when his identity was always meant to be hidden. But I’ll still get a copy and read it.
i mean, i wouldn't say it was meant to be "hidden" or a secret or anything. we knew who he was since KMD days. and while i can't be certain, i imagine the book will be more of a biography of his career and influence on the scene
Excited to see what they have planned. Right around the time I should be getting a nice chunk of change from work as back pay. Hmmm…
