Foot Village have a new split single w/ Super Khoumeissa on the Fat Cat label. FV‘s 16 minute track entitled Let Bebongs Be Bebongs, Idiot is “about being young and listening to records in the middle of the night with your friends; the type of experience that creates ineffable bonds of friendship while on psychic journeys.” As usual, the band are using just drums, voices, and megaphone. Listen.
a: I’ve really fallen for this song Fireball (youtube) by Don Spencer. It’s a pretty song about love and dreams of being a spaceman. I caught it on this teenpopdoowop rarities collection I picked up. A little research tells me that it was the theme song to this show Fireball XL5 that I’ve never heard of.
q: What piece(s) of culture are you really really excited about right now?
a: Wayne Gretsky‘s father told him something along the lines of “Don’t skate to where the puck is, skate to where the puck’s gonna be.” I think music and art in the internet age has become a new kind of monster. The last few years have been a bit bleak, but I am expecting something very promising and exciting to bloom this year. A new set of standards, to which I am working and contributing. Don’t sleep on it.
The seeds of spring are sprouting and summer’s supple sustenance is soon. I’m excited to see what everyone has been working on all winter long to come into light for everyone to see.
q: Anything we should know about your latest project (whatever that might be)?
a: I have recorded 100 songs in the month of April. It became a diary and narrative for myself and reflections on the month and my mental state. Not sure exactly how it will all surface yet, as I am actually finishing up the last tracks and have been full wrapped in it all month long.
Editor’s Note: The 100 tracks chime in at 5:15:39.
I have a new single/7 inch coming out on Crikey Records May 7th. You can preorder it right now and get an immediate download of the two tracks, plus a 10 song mixtape of tracks off of the 100 in April.
It’s time to listen to a bunch of the tracks I have not had a chance to post. Here is the next NOT POSTED mix. These are just a few of the songs that would get their own individual posts here on GIMME TINNITUS, if I only had the time.

LA’s premiere all drum hardcore band, Foot Village is know for (among other things) generously making their stems available for remixes. Well, the stems from their latest 7″ got into the hands of Venezuelan musician Ezequiel “Cheky” Bertho a/k/a Algodón Egipcio (translation: Egyptian Cotton). Here are the results. Listen.
You can order the digital or physical versions of Foot Village‘s 7″ with digital-only bonus remixes by Bobb Bruno of Best Coast, Yip-Yip, and Universal Studios Florida @ footvillage.bandcamp.com. Please note that the 7″ vinyl artwork is printed on temporary tattoo paper. Two copies of the artwork are included. One to cut up and wear and one to keep for posterity.
