<h2>Something old, something borrowed, something new..</h2>

A week or two ago I was lucky enough to come into some interesting vinyl from my uncle's more hectic Hacienda djing days, which have now been replaced by a quiet life somewhere on the outskirts of leeds.

Although i struggled with the early rave cuts and some of his 'soulful' house records, he did give me some interesting, and rather hard to come by, records from around the early seventies, right up to some late 80's hip-hop classics.

Despite not being ready to give up some of this imparted inspiration of my uncle's earlier years, I thought I'd share one or two interesting tracks, I certainly wasn't aware of such tracks existence, but they are really rather good.

[mp3] De La Soul - Piles and Piles of Demo Tapes Bi-Da Miles

The b3-side to Ring Ring Ring (Ha Ha Hey) , this track takes the originals sample loop and lets a mystery master go crazy in a 5 minutes jazz flute extravaganza, its rather special.

[mp3] Aretha Franklin - Who's Zoomin Who?

After much debate, me and a friend could not quite came to a conclusion over the origins of the word 'zommin', or what it might mean.. (i have my suspicions). Nevertheless, this track has got all the makings of an 80's classic, Fresh Prince esq synthesized basslines, 808 drums, and Aretha's irresistible diva vocals.

Phew, thats enough of lesser-known classics, heres to the somewhat escapades nouveau of Wavves. Nathan Williams of San Diego, California has been showing me the lighter side of garage rock for nearly a year now, and I've recently come across a new track that holds par with his original stand-out efforts, '*No Hope Kids*' and 'Wavves'. Trust me this new one is saweeeet.

[mp3] Wavves - Cool Jumper
