Welcome to Foot Village! Home of the largest private collection of disembodied feet west of the Mississippi. Our competitors (Toe Town) would have you believe that we’ve recently suffered a spat of athlete’s foot, but pay no mind to their loose talk! Things are shiny, smooth, and itch-free here in the valley of the shadow of the foot, and we’re sure glad you’ve come to visit!
Just recently, some of our most upstanding citizens — the drum-heavy downtown who also call themselves Foot Village (they may not be creative, but boy howdy are they energetic) — have packed their upturned paint buckets and rock-filled coffee cans and taken to the road. That’s right, they’re touring the United States in support of their newest record album Make Memories out on Northern Spy. If you’ve a mind to make some memories yourself, I’ll sure do what I can to help you keep them. For a small and very reasonable fee, I’ll be happy to take your picture with any one of our more than 100 celebrity feet, including those of William Henry Harrison, Etta James, and Scott Bakula!
The band has also released a new musical video for one of the songs on their new record album. The song, which celebrates the use of pharmaceuticals in a way that I’ll be honest with ya I can’t really abide, is called “This Song is a Drug Deal.” And while I don’t support any sorts of “drug use,” me and Marlene figure it’s better to kill ‘em with kindness. And I suppose anything that keeps them off the street is a good thing! Watch those crazy kids here:
By the time Foot Village make it to the West Coast they’ll be joined by some hip-hoppers called clipping. I don’t know much about the group, but I’m sure they’re stand-up boys if they’re spending time with our Foot Village. At any rate, some fellahs on the internet seem pretty excited about their record album Midcity (TMT Review) and about their performance at something called a Unisex Earplug. I even heard they re-mixed Foot Village’s song “This Song is a Drug Deal,” and even though the only re-mixing I know about is when I ask Marlene to put a little extra Jack in my diet soda on the weekends (a boy’s gotta have his fun some times!), I’m sure you’ll listen to it here if you’re so inclined:
