Twitteresting: James Pants Moves To Colorado

You can file this one under “almost in the stalker realm” if you like, but the people of Everyday Joe’s are excited.

Most days of this past summer, Welcome by James Pants was played over the Everyday Joe’s house system. Miniature dance parties broke out near the bar. Not because the people dancing were miniature, or because they were doing miniature moves, but because it was usually 3 people max. Perhaps miniature is not a necessary qualifier. Perhaps a dance party is a dance party.

This just in…a dance party is a dance party.

Get a taste for some of those dance inducing tunes:

Everyday Joe’s is on the Twitter. Are you aware of this? Do you tweet? Follow us @everydayjoes and you’ll notice you sleep better at night and feel better when you wake up.

We follow James Pants (@stjamespants) and his tweets, and we like it. I especially liked this one last week:

I am now officially a resident of the Colorado springs/Denver area. Now what do I do?

Well, kind sir, we have an answer for that: drive 2 hours north and play Everyday Joe’s. There will be dance partying. There will be espresso. There will be nice times.

Support Mr. Pants. Buy Welcome, and buy his new album Seven Seals out December 8th on Stones Throw.

Twitteresting: Ethiopium Beats & Coffee

Stones Throw is a mighty, mighty fine record label. At any time, beats from several Stones Throw artists may start to emanate from the speakers of Everyday Joe’s…including the beats of one Oh No.

Some time ago I was reading an article about Intelligentsia’s Venice Beach opening party DJ’d by Stones Throw founder Peanut Butter Wolf. The article included a mention of a Stones Throw Blend by Intelligentsia. I managed to get ahold of some and it was delicious, especially with James Pants coming through my headphones.

On Stones Throw’s Twitter recently, I was delighted and intrigued by this:

Here’s how we do it … Oh No’s Ethiopium (beats) http://is.gd/3eIkx & Stones Throw’s Ethiopium (coffee) http://is.gd/3eIlU

Stone’s Throw will be embarking on a hip-hop first: a dual album and coffee release. The album is Ethiopium by Oh No- the upcoming release inspired-by and sampled-from rare 60s and 70s Ethiopian funk, jazz, folk, soul and psychedelic rock. The coffee is Ethiopium by Intelligentsia- a Yirgacheffe that will surely be tasty. Time for hip-hoppers to buy a Chemex to compliment their vinyl collection. Hipsters have PBR, beat-makers now have Intelligentsia.
