The Search for FMLY
We thought it would be sweet to hold out a week before posting any of our own words regarding this stellar video that our buds at Tiny Waves put together, and that sweetness has totally settled like a blanket and touched all of our hearts. Just before parting ways in early January a few of us met at Centinela Park in Inglewood, Los Angeles, just a few blocks from the second day location of the fest, and began our New Year with this memorable conversation. Steve Head [aka Dark Sea of Awareness ] has described the context [...]

solipsistic sea

solipsistic sea Two of my best friends in the world mailed me a handmade tape from across the continent and it has seriously added to my long term happiness. Posted it here on bandcamp for them. Now it is possible to share it with people without having to force them to listen to my walkman(although I'll still definitely do that if I see you).

[via tiny waves] words by Steve Head Magical Mistakes - Running Water Special Friends EP by Magical Mistakes I was lucky enough to catch Magical Mistakes a few weeks back in the chillout tent at FMLY FEST. I had been frantically running around Chuco's trying to catch all the performances I could, but Magical Mistakes' music commanded my attention with its celestial atmosphere and meditative beats. Erik Luebs deftly mixes woozy acoustic and [...]

It's obvious that more is better than less in some cases. Sometimes all it takes is one person or entity to make something amazing and it always makes me ecstatic to just talk about out of "the norm" ideas. My friend Geoff Morgan used to fling his paint brush at a blank piece of sheet music and speckle the thing with water color. He would then proceed to write that music into an electronic music program on his computer as if he were that up and comer shredder Jason Becker, who lost feeling in his lower limbs only to lose [...]

Los Angeles Plays Itself - Part 1 / 12
Whether you have been to LA or not, we are all affected by the idea and preconceptions of Los Angeles that are perpetuated by popular culture. LA is arguably the most popular character in Hollywood movies and has been portrayed in almost every way possible. Thom Anderson's documentary "Los Angeles Plays Itself" covers a lot of these identities of the city in an amazingly captivating three and a half hours. The movie was never released officially since it's made completely out of pieces of other movies, but thanks to the power of a free and open internet, we are able [...]

throwback party lovers Evan Voytas - You Don't Even Know Where It's At Evan Voytas - Feel Me by Dovecote Records Our boy Evan Voytas has been busy living it up touring the world with prolific soulster beat heads Gonjasufi and Flying Lotus , but he has never stopped creating weirdo dance classics in a high pitched climaxing manner. His early shows are still clear in my mind - watching him switch out tapes and dance from side to side with nothing but [...]

dustin wong - sweetest pleasures while we live Back in April of last year I posted about the Do Lectures that take place annually in Wales, and recently I became pretty infatuated with one of their talks from photographer, musician, surfer Mickey Smith . With great humility Mickey presents his zest for life that too often goes unacknowledged, and around 10:40 he shows his short film, Dark Side of the Lens . I hesitate to tell ya any more because his words are too precious to summarize - carrying these [...]

"photography never interested me"

Jan 14, 4:32pm Fmly
"photography never interested me" Magical Mistakes - Fetishization Jacob Holdt externalizes a bold gift of sincerity, and his approach to photography offers the most genuine and diverse portrayal of American life that I have ever witnessed. Beginning in Denmark in 1970, Holdt - 23 years old, fueled by idealism, and fed up with Danish support for US foreign policy in Southeast Asia - "immigrated" to Canada after receiving an invitation to work on a farm. His intent was to hitchhike from Canada, through America and Mexico, in order to arrive in Chile to support Marxist [...]

The Noisettes - Every Now and Then
VerBS - Feelings Getting in The Way VerBS is the Homie. I wish that James Brown was still alive, because I'd love to set up a challenge between the two of them to find the true "hardest working man in show business." The last time I saw VerBS was at Home Room. He was closing out my video release party, but he had to jet over from a photo gig in some far-off part of town. He showed up without a set, slapped one together on his laptop in just a couple of minutes right as [...]

POWERAXE Heavy Metal U-Haul
POWERAXE - Liberia "Spiritual metal" instrumentalists POWERAXE , made up of brothers Ryan and Brian Randall, have been melting faces all year. They've become fixtures of FMLY Rides - watch them slay in this video from July - and a spinoff of the band, BROHAMMER , stole the show at the LA Lottery League this past February. If you want to get a taste of the chaos they bring, check the above video of the band terrorizing LA the parking lots and side streets of LA via Uhaul. [...]

adventure times :: fmly fest For the natural life of our environment, which recedes into hibernation this time of year, we blossom. FMLY FEST is just ten days off, so before we cross the single digit barrier it seems about time to announce these set times. Since the lineup was collaboratively booked via volunteer meetings and email threads we thought this decision would be all the more appropriate if our schedule reflected the submissions received from our buds around town. Peep 'em below and get your stoked on with us! <3's represent round robins or "battles". [...]

inspirations from magick orchids Magick Orchids - Bad Acid FMLY friends and scene stalwarts Magick Orchids have a reputation for free-form, trance-inducing psychedelic live shows that utilize improvisation and group collaboration. The duo's upcoming album, Origins of Grinding, finds Rhea Tepplim and FMLY Fest poster artist Champoy Hate combining their penchant for being etherial and experimental with somewhat more "pop" influences on DIY dance jams like "Bad Acid" and "Bored in da Burbs." The album will be released early new year via Vanity Projects . While you wait for the album to be released, you [...]

inspirations from kid infinity Kid Infinity - the Big Why Kid Infinity is the most banging electro party rap group in Los Angeles. While they're known for their envelope-pushing 3-D light shows , exceptional videos , and clever product presentations , the duo's music is anthemic and pounding enough that it doesn't need any of that stuff to grab audiences - anyone who has witnessed K.I. at a FMLY Ride knows that they can get it done just right with only a generator and PA (if you haven't seen K.I. in person, you can "take a taste" [...]

permanent moods Ghibli - Aubrey de Grey (Jessica Jalbert remixed) Nelson Mandela once shared that, "If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart". As long as I've been aware of Tom Mike's prolific consumption of 'internet presence', it has become his knack for exploring the possibilities of a collaborative language that have kept me around. Now, I'm not referring to his dizzying amount of information and sounds shared via facebook, tumblr or twitter, but the [...]
