Thanks for Glenn Kitson of Rig Out, the International Lifestyle Magazine, for tipping us off about this mix by Moonboots which was featured last week in their Rig Out Radio series. As Moonboots describes it this is a mix of “Sunday breakfast acoustics. Bristolian hippy folk. Lazy, west coast melancholia. A Cheadle private pressed 80s rarity. Protest songs and hymns to a long lost love. Empty promises. All within an hour or so. A train journey from Levy to Wigan. A flight to Amsterdam. 'The wind blows, the grass grows'. Just yesterday.” No track list is available but we did spot the superb closing track "Two Weeks Last Summer" by Fotheringay and the late Sandy Denny (pictured). There are a number of versions of this song - by the Strawbs, Dave Cousins and even by Fotheringay themselves - but this one (originally recorded in 1970 but released in 2008) is by far the best and appears on their album Fotheringay 2.

From Jonathan Moore aka Leftside Wobble, the man behind numerous A-grade remixes of classic rock tracks such as Tomorrow Never Knows by The Beatles, comes this "summery Balearic favoured reworking of a Bowie favourite". The download is currently unavailable but we're hoping this will see a release in the next few weeks.

Has anyone made a football-themed boogie mix? I don't have enough songs for a solid mix yet but maybe with help from readers we can put one together. Here is one quality track recorded by five members of the San Diego Chargers in 1981. To me there are two strong tracks on their LP with lyrics that could be about romance or football. If you are down to participate please drop a comment with your favorite (quality) boogie tracks made by football players or about football. Please no "Superbowl Shuffle".Hi-Five - We Came To Play.mp3

We finally got around to recording a new mix after what seems like an eternity - kids, dayjobs and complaining neighbours, deadly cocktail. For this second volume of our 'Special Ops' mix series we went for low slung, sweaty basement vibes, featuring some of our favorite bits from the past years (Ben Sun, Move D, Rondenion), the inevitable bobs from our own catalogue (with a cheeky appearance of one of the tracks by Max Graef & Andy Hart that will be out soonish) and some new tracks as well (Genius of Time, OFFMSG, Small Giants). This is the kind of stuff we play when we play out, though if the beer gets flowing we always end up digging in the disco section of our bags. Hope you like!
