A beginners guide to … phil mison
phil mison – luna (mp3)
cantoma – pandajero (mp3)
reverso 68 – piece together pt 1 (mp3)
frontera – walking in the rain (mp3)
it’s time for the next instalment of our ‘beginners guide to’ series, and what better way to continue, than to introduce our next guest down at best foot forward this saturday, phil mison…
after falling […]
Dabrye of sunshine
dabrye feat. mf doom - air (mp3)
something sweet today featuring everyone’s favourite metal-faced villan, mf doom … and yes, i know i’m supposed to “remember all caps when i spell the mans name”, so if you’re thinking of grassing me up, you can tell doom that we operate a strict lowercase-only rule here at […]
A beginners guide to … pepe bradock
pepe bradock - deep burnt (mp3)
iz and diz - mouth (brad peeps remix for friends) (mp3)
gotan project - santa maria (pepe bradock wider remix) (mp3)
it’s strange how much musical knowledge is taken as a given. allusions to artists and albums are bandied about every day, and if you’re not up to speed on the current […]
Even if you ain’t fond of sand dunes
handsome boy modelling school ft. sean lennon - sunshine (groove armada’s sunset dub) (mp3)
woah woah woah where are you going?!? yes i know, you might have heard some of the last album from handsome boy modelling school that really did suck, and yes, groove armada are far too occupied with making big room bangers […]
It’s time to get ill(inois)
everly brothers - illinois (mp3)
if, like me, you happen to be going through a happily prolonged country-rock/laurel canyon /60’s/70’s left-coast singer-songwritery phase at the minute, then the first track on side 2 of don and phil everly’s sublime 1968 lp, ‘roots’, is for you. yes, the same rollicking 1950’s two-part harmony peddling pin-ups who sang […]
Lost in a k-hole…
patrick cowley - mutant man (mp3)
this track pretty much sums up my posting rate of recent weeks - very, very slow. patrick cowley brings the bpm right down on this spaced out, drug induced track. the most excellent ‘mutant man’ is off the mind warp lp, and i imagine that if i ever got lost […]
You give love a bad name
public image ltd. - this is not a love song (mp3)
a short and sweet anti-valentine message, with love from best foot forward. have a great wednesday!
The silver eagle
dennis parker - like an eagle (mp3)
not to be confused with steve miller’s equally brilliant ‘fly like an eagle’, this is epic disco slow-mo from the man who i believe must be one of magnum pi’s greatest influences (check out that stashe!) dennis parker. dennis was born in new york in 1946, and before becoming […]
Daft punkin’ donuts
thomas bangalter - extra dry (mp3)
slum village - raise it up (mp3)
daft punk - aerodynamic (slum village remix) (mp3)
with the first anniversary of jay dee/j dilla’s tragic death tomorrow, i thought my first foot forward onto this blog should involve the unearthing of a handful of james yancey-associated material. poignantly released the same week as […]
All aboard…
brooklyn express - sixty nine (mp3)
after being struck down with ‘man’ flu this week, im going to keep this short and sweet. i believe the reason for my flu pandemic, is thanks to me (and friends) going slightly over the top with the party celebrations at the fantastic homo electric last friday. don’t have many […]
