A new, slightly squelchy, completely swinging mix from Leftside Wobble – a gent introduced to us via his ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’ edit played by Greg Wilson at the last Mister Saturday Night at Market Hotel back in March. Heat!

With a Womack and Womack track fresh in memory from the Twitter feed of Floating Points (who so generously hosted me at his apartment in London earlier this week), I saw the Family Spirit album in the bins on the street in front of a record shop in Berlin today, and I immediately took it over to the record player in the store to give it a spin. I couldn’t take the needle off of ‘My Dear (The Letter)’ until it had faded it out. What a song. The video above is weird, and I think it’s a different version than the one on the LP, but it’ll give you the idea. Expect to hear this at the end of a Mister Saturday Night loft party soon.
We’ve long dug the UK’s Wire magazine, although we seldom get our hands on a print copy – that exchange rate is a killer. Thankfully, thewire.co.uk is consistently updated with free tidbits from across the Web. Regular contributor Aura Satz recently tipped us off to the Center for Visual Music Library, an incredible online resource with articles, interviews and exhibition catalogs representing more than a century of work at the intersection of sound and light. We especially love the Center’s extensive archives on abstract animator and painter Oskar Fischinger.
If laughter is the best medicine, then this week will keep you in the pink. Reggie Watts beatboxes between jokes in the open air, Aziz Ansari just might unleash Raaaaaaaandy and the Brooklyn Flea Record Fair collects thousands of bizarre obscurities in a single bank vault. We’re keeping an eye out for this one – it’ll cure what ails ya.
