My main contribution to today's CD Mix of the Month Club for January, which returns to The Magician on the Lower East Side, is Four Letter Words, with Scenes in the Country added as a slightly tardy Martin Luther King Day bonus mix.

The Magician is the bar where ❦crabwalk convened the New York CDMOM reunion that spawned all the madness of these past two and half years. Last time I visited The Magician, the mix disc I gave the bartender was still available in the jukebox. Check it out if you're ever down in that neighborhood.
