I've known Dam-Funk for around 5 years now. But it feels much longer. Cuz of our obsession over the same music as kids. Groups like Change, BB & Q Band, and Reel to Reel. I don't come across that many people who knew the stuff beyond Prince and MJ back when it first came out (besides maybe Madlib). I guess that was why Dam came up to me when I spun that stuff at Star Shoes nightcub on Hollywood Blvd, the first time I met him. It was at Egon and Miles' Funky Sole Night, which was ironically dedicated to late '60s/ early '70s soul and funk. I was happy to spin at their night, but I wanted to play '80s soul and funk. I almost didn't do it cuz I didn't want to stray from their theme, but no telling if I'd ever have met Dam had I stuck to the '60s that night. At the club, Dam told me he had a rare live performance of the group Slave live on the Don Kirshner's Rock Concert on DVD and from there we stayed in touch. I couldn't believe he had that. Fast forward to now. Meeting Dam's parents for the first time at his record release party for Toeachizown last week, they were so excited and proud of him. His mom told me, "You have no idea how long Dam has been doing this." a few months ago, one of Dam's friends from his childhood more or less told me the same thing: "While everyone else was out in the streets, Dam was in the house doing music. He's wanted this for so long." My friend Steve and I were doing the music thing as kids back then too. We made a tape in 1983 announcing our favorite songs from that year, as if we were radio DJs. The prepubescent voices were pretty hilarious. I found the tape in 2003 and made CDs of it to give to my friends. DJ Chris and DJ Steve. When I gave one to Dam, he told me about his club night called 1983. More coincidences. But looking back, I feel it was more than a coincidence that my first time working with Dam was to have him do a remix for an album made by Steve called Baron Zen. The Baron Zen release in 2007 were songs that were recorded in the early '90s in his bedroom on a 4-track, along with current remixes by guys that Steve and I chose. The album was commercially slept on, but Dam's remix of Baron Zen was not. Everyone singled that track out. Next, I featured Dam on a compilation album I did a few months later and people singled him out again. Dam and I started DJing shows together, while he worked on Toeachizown. Little did I know then that Dam had recorded his own album's worth of songs in his bedroom around the time Steve was working on his. They even used the same Casio SK-1 keyboard. Dam and I (and Haircut and James Pants and Liger Berry and Nite Jewel and Cole and Whitemare and Ron and Laroj and Billy and Koushik and Andrew and Tom) have been discovering lots of '80s soul and funk records and some of our favorites are the ones that sound the least professionally sonically. We don't ONLY buy those ones, but we don't let that stop US if the song is good. Prophet is the best example, but there's tons of others. And Dam knew I've been wanting to put out some of this kind of stuff on Stones Throw, like I've started to with Franklin Thompson, Jonathan Brown, and Arabian Prince. He told me he was trying to find a guy he grew up with who recorded tons of songs. Then, one day, Dam told me he was going through his OWN tapes from his teenage years and voila. Goldmine. Before hearing them, I figured I could put out a 7-inch of the two best songs. Wrong. Too hard to narrow it down. I'll never forget the first time I bumped 'em in the ride with Tim and Kota Pop. They were bobbing their heads and we were all amazed. Lambo too. I showed "It's My Life" to my wife Violet and she cried. Dam told me, "This is your project Wolf. Do whatever you want with it. You pick the songs. You do the artwork. I leave it in your hands. I don't even wanna see it till it's done. Have fun with it." -PEANUT BUTTER WOLF.

Fantastic plates!
Size: Extra Large (Pack of 1)
These plates were huge--perfect for the Thanksgiving feast. The plates were sturdy and held up to the weight of the food. Even others in attendance commented on how good the plates were and that they were big enough to hold larger portions which meant people didn't have to go back for seconds. The thickness of the plates was good--gravy didn't leak through. I plan to buy them again for future large holiday meals.

Great plates for the holidays and family gatherings!
Size: Extra Large (Pack of 1), Size: Extra Large (Pack of 1)
These plates are sturdy and designed to hold even the heaviest of meals without bending or folding, which is a huge plus when you're serving barbecue or pasta dishes.
One of the standout features is their size; they’re large enough to accommodate generous portions, making them perfect for parties or picnics. I also appreciated the attractive design, which adds a nice touch to the table setting.
Cleanup was a breeze, as they are disposable and save me from the hassle of washing up after the event. Additionally, they don’t soak through easily, so I didn’t have to worry about any leaks or messes, even with saucy foods.
Overall, I highly recommend Dixie Ultra Large Paper Plates for anyone looking for a reliable and stylish disposable plate option. They combine functionality with aesthetic appeal, making them a perfect choice for any occasion!

Sturdy and Reliable Plates for Any Occasion!
Size: Extra Large (Pack of 1)
The Dixie Ultra Large Paper Plates are truly impressive in quality and design. They feel incredibly sturdy, living up to the promise of being 3X stronger than standard paper plates. I love the 11-inch size — it’s perfect for big, heavy, and messy meals without worrying about leaks or spills. The soak-proof coating and microwave-safe feature make them super convenient. The design is also bright and festive without being too flashy. These plates are now a must-have in my kitchen for family dinners and parties!

Strong Enough for BBQ Ribs, Pasta & Everything in Between!
Size: Extra Large (Pack of 1)
These Dixie Ultra paper plates are truly the heavyweight champs of disposable dinnerware. I grabbed them for a backyard BBQ, expecting the usual paper plate struggle—but these held up like actual dinner plates. We piled on ribs, baked beans, coleslaw, and even mac & cheese, and not a single plate buckled, soaked through, or leaked.
At 11 inches, they’re large enough for full meals (and seconds!), and the cut-resistant coating means no forks poking through. They're also microwave-safe, which is great for leftovers. Whether it's dinner with kids, hosting guests, or avoiding dishes during busy weeks—these are now my go-to. Totally worth it!
