That sad, sparkly sound.

I bought this bootleg of Frontin' by Pharrell years ago in Japan. It sounded like it was done by somebody currently listening to a lot of Level 42 singles. Further down the same road, this Fatlip remix seems to have been done by Howard Jones. Stellar. The bulk of the Delicious Vinyl RMMXOLOGY compilation, released this past summer, is pretty good, if glitchy tech-soul and B-more drum programming is your thing.
Love the What's Up Fatlip video, too, but even better is the short Spike Jonze making of. Worth another trip to the extras disc of the Directors Label DVD, had the post office not lost my signed copy. What's up Flatbush!
