A friend just asked everyone their favorite song of the moment so I took a quick glance at “My Weekly Obsessions” playlist, spotted Disclosure’s “Latch” and was surprised to find I hadn’t already posted the song right up in hurrrr.

Mount Kimbie – “Made to Stray” is a Banger and a Half

Got damn – I said GOTDAYUM! Mount Kimbie’s “Made to Stray” got my attention with a minimal beat lead-in, then spreads the love out to some Afro-Cuban vibing – culminating in a sound I usually associate with Hot Chip:

Austra Brings us “Home” With New Track

Can someone please get started on making an Austra/Dark Dark Dark/Emily Wells tour happen? If it only takes place in my living room I’m ok with that too.

Obsessed with Ren Harvieu “Tonight” (Stubborn Heart Remix)

Marshall Jolie-Pitt snoozingMy poor lil pooch has a sore foot and while I keep cleaning it and putting antibacterial ointment on his paw – he keeps getting excited and hurts it within ten minutes every time we go outside and I end up having to carry my little gremlin back home to clean, antibacterialize, wash, rinse, repeat.

Stubborn Heart’s remix of Ren Harvieu’s “Tonight” is what is going to get me through the rest of this day. Maybe even the rest of this week.

MNEK – “White Noise” (Disclosure x Aluna George)

The 0:50 mark made me miss Chicago in the worst way. Loving this even if it runs its course a bit earlier than the full 4:12, but maybe I’m just a sucker for keeping that beat stanky.
