Words, Photos, and Video by Ricky Everyone’s already told you … Austin, TX remains a kickass, music-obsessive city despite it being surrounded by a dirt-filled desert of conservatism. The massive SXSW and Austin City Limits Festivals flood the town with traveling music dorks each year, but a younger, cozier, and (dare I say) FUN festival crept into the scene seven years ago. The Fun Fun Fun Fest! The name says it all … organizers strive for a festival devoid of pricey, overcrowded Coachella or Lollapalooza vibes. Their gift for assembling lineups [...]

Fun Fun Fun Fest is fast becoming one of MOKB's favorite festivals to attend. Every spring, we make our pilgrimage to SXSW for warmer weather, music, and tacos. Slowly, FFFF has become our fall equivalent to bookend our summers. The festival offers so much entertainment with in a relatively small area at Auditorium Shores and you never feel like you are crowded because of excellent scheduling of the stages and artists by the fine folks at Transmission Entertainment. This boutique style festival is a nice alternative to the large festivals that tend to [...]

El-P played a studio session inside [...]

The walk between Moogfest' s U.S. Cellular Center and the much more intimate Orange Peel is approximately 18 minutes. Not too bad in festival terms, and instead of battling the hoard during that time, the hike is better spent grabbing a handmade crepe, petting some puppies, watching a few buskers, indulging in some fine chocolates, and/or sharing some stories over a microbrew with a local. Okay, so maybe the walk can end up taking closer to an hour. That is part of the charm around Asheville. Void of the chains that clutter most downtown skylines, Asheville runs at its own [...]

Today's song is "Days" by Balmorhea . This Austin, TX instrumental sextet makes beautifully, gracious, ambient, and melodic music.

Explosions in the Sky's Friday Night Lights / photo by Brittney Bollay It’s Friday so it’s time again for Friday on My Mind , our weekly blog post centered around videos based on one common theme. This is a collaborative effort between KEXP and King 5 News. Fall will officially be here in a few weeks, which means that it’s the best time of year for sports. This is the start of NFL and College Football seasons as well as the race to the Baseball playoffs. It’s also a time for us in Seattle to [...]
Finding music can sometimes be like a party, you don't meet the coolest person there until the end of the night and your rides honking outside. Caspian is that band for me right now. There's no proverbial departure keeping us from being bro's from here on, but you get the picture, we've both missed some quality time [...]

With Oxegen off the festival schedule for at least one summer, there was a danger the Electric Picnic line-up would lose some of its more heavy and experimental acts in favour of the usual stadium fodder. Thankfully, that appears not to be the case, with Texan post rock juggernaut Explosions in the Sky leading a small but formidable band of left field rock acts. Here's the pick of the bunch: BATS ‘Uncompromising’ is an oft-abused word in the world of heavy rock, but it’s hard to argue with the description of Dublin [...]

Music videos can be total sensory overload. Not only do you get great audio from bands that have often spent insurmountable time mastering a song they have created, adding to them videos can open a similar avenue with interesting visual storylines and themes. Some have plots, some have twists, and some have neither; others are funny or thought-provoking; all within this list are great in their own right. Check out 15 of my favorite (in no particular order, other than the order they were added to the list) indie music videos of 2012... so far... and let me [...]

![[memories] Outside Lands 2012](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4457945_lg.jpg)
It's been three plus days since Outside Lands came to an end and i've needed every minute of it to fully recover. This was my first legitimate music festival and it was a lot to take in. With that said, I would do it all over again this weekend if I could. I had so much fun last weekend, not even the total lack of sleep, the nightly struggles of finding my way home, the $9 beers, or the bird that shat in my eye Friday night will keep me [...]

Who would've ever thought we'd see Geographer, Norah Jones, and Metallica share stage space at a festival. But we did, and the experience was truly unique.

photos by Amoreena Lucero Metallica / Sigur Ros at Outside Lands - 8/11/12 Metallica 's headlining set on Saturday featured lots of the band's classic material ("Master of Puppets," "Ride the Lightning," "Creeping Death") paired with a fair amount of pyro and endless shout-outs to San Francisco. "We're very grateful to be playing in the backyard of the greatest city," said frontman James Hetfield. He also noted that a friend [...]
