Ricky Eat Acid - falling forever and ever The first week of June gave us Haunt U Forever , Ricky Eat Acid 's tenth release since May of 2010, yet with his strides in experimentation between EPs the familiarity I hold onto exists in the underlying character of Sam Ray 's music. Rich in texture and with clear intent, Sam has the fingerprint of a young man curious for experiencing the diversity of his craft as he actively explores new methods in producing and recording his sounds.

To The Governments & People of Earth: ALASKAS - Unshackled We claim the right to exist, and we will defend it. We do not seek to overthrow anything. We do not seek to control anything. We merely wish to be left alone. All we ever wanted was to live in peace with our friends and neighbors. For a long, long time we bore insults to our liberty; we took blows, we did what we could to avoid injury and we worked through the system to get [...]

by brian vu Absent Fever - Exquisite Corpse Composed by impulse and the stream of consciousness, seven juxtaposed artists came in union to create a collective vision; distinct and furthermore one. Seven of the Absent Fever artists collaborated to create one seven minute song. Each was given only the previous artist's one minute to base their one minute off of, and was told to compose from solely initial creative reaction. In result is a seven minute long guide through the soundscape of Absent Fever. [...]

USF - Point Break II I'd rather be ashes than dust. I would rather that my spark burn out in a brilliant blaze, than be stilled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function is to live, not to exist. - Evel Knievel , quoting Jack London [beginning issue #1] Penned by Seattle's Jason Baxter [of USF ] & Mac Hamilton with artwork produced by New York's [...]

Cop Magnet - Koolifornia #HDBOYZ is the world's first high definition boy band, and the collaboration of media enthusiasts Alex Kelly-Hoffman [Cop Magnet, Gvcci Hvcci, Max Velocity], Ryder Ripps [dump.fm, internet archeology], Aaron David Ross [Gatekeeper], Colin Self , Tabor Robak , and Thunderhorse . Now all of these fine individuals are beyond deserving of their own praise, but considering that today is my sweetie roomie Alex's birthday we thought it'd be nice to just collectively say "we love you and can't [...]

Anamanaguchi - Britney Spears / Katy Perry / Miley Cyrus medley It was 2006 when Anamanaguchi first loaded their cartridges into our lives, Luke Silas had introduced the bleeps of the recently released Power Supply EP to his buds in Los Angeles and Mario Luna used "Helix Nebula" during the credits of a short he had made senior year of high school. We became pretty diehard from then on out and Cameron and I, with the help of a ton of friends, even managed to bring the 'guchi [...]

Michael Parallax - Growing Splendid As part of our series highlighting the spunky folks that you'll be meeting at FMLY Fest we've chosen today to celebrate our love of Florida's Michael Parallax . A fine feline of a Spirit Cat and one-part Oh Fortuna , Mikey has shared eight home brewed albums with the internet since '06 documenting only a portion of a much larger history of collaboration among his friends and family. These documents he has left behind collect the doubts, frustrations, highs, and great hopes of a given [...]

Kynan - Living Dreams Joel has been part of swirling, captivating, and beautiful San Diego pop bands for a while now including D/Wolves and DUDES . This year he made that faithful leap to releasing his own music. Kynan represents the unattainable. Smooth and captivating, it has the tone of a sedated Outkast and early Missy Elliot walking down an empty street at 2am. The lyrics are striped down and honest as keyboard licks dance around them. His new album Garbage Beach is one that feels like it's the only [...]

This is a note to talented touring friends. I live in a city called Eau Claire, Wisconsin. It is on the way from Chicago (or Madison/Milwaukee) to Minneapolis, right off highway 94. I am looking to bring the FMLY dinner & a show to the Midwest. It’s pretty straightforward, but here’s the deal: Homecooked meal and intimate gathering at my house. We’ll charge about ten bucks per plate and the money (after groceries are paid for) will go to you. This is for bands needing gas money, a comfy place to [...]

W-H-I-T-E - Fountain With FMLY FEST just around the corner, I thought we could all get a little more familiar with who we will be jamming out with this December. Corey Hansen, a LA transplant in New York, plays under the moniker W-H-I-T-E . Haunting and swirling drenched with heavy cathedral organs and perfectly layered vocals, chugging beats will keep you dancing while the rest keeps you floating. It's albums like "Twin Tigers" completely blow me away with what one person can do. Check out the interview with him on Sean Carnage 's [...]

COOLRUNNINGS - The Fool Deep down, all of us are probably aware that some kind of mystical evolution is our true task. Yet we suppress the notion with considerable force because to admit it is to admit that most of our political gyrations, religious dogmas, social ambitions, and financial ploys are not merely counter-productive but trivial. - Tom Robbins

This show is a dream come true. Nude Sunrise, the sexiest kraut-sludge band from Chicago is touring with the eternally touring DIY pot head homies, White Fang. They asked me to book them a show so obviously I had to oblige. So whats going down? Five of the gnarliest rock n roll bands in the country are going head to head round robin style at The Cat Nap on October 14th. If you're in LA prepare yourself for a battle royale of truly epic proportions. If not, check these bands out and buy or [...]

Bigg Jus - This Is Poor People's Day This post is a response to something that a friend of mine shared on Facebook. He posted an anti-Occupy picture that I found offensive. If you'd like to look at the picture, it's here (I linked instead of embedding because it's mean-spirited and makes me a bit queasy). Basically, the picture is of a teenager who has never worked a day in her life holding a sign accusing the protesters of being lazy and calling them spoiled. It made me angry, so I made my second donation [...]

Opens by Hear Hums Our Tiny Waves bff Ralph Giunta recently directed the humble b&w video for Hear Hums ' "Growing", off of their forthcoming album Opens . Treated to 16mm film the optic journey 'opens' in Orlando's Dandelion Communitea Cafe surrounded by friends. As our eyes begin to adopt Ralph's vision he witnesses a prescribed physical environment similar to most urban areas, and more specifically, a society that has embraced a notion of the installated organic in our material landscape. Providing the positive, his presentation of spending [...]

Rocket or Chiritori - Vacation (English Ver.) Rocket or Chiritori - Love Eyes In the late nineties, a seventeen year old girl named Satoko Shibahara made these songs. She crafted the album Love Eyes under the name Rocket or Chiritori before calling the music game quits and focusing on school. Love Eyes is audible evidence that you didn't mistake your favorite memories for dreams. It's an unspoken invitation to view someone's most personal form of expression. I found Love Eyes fourteen years [...]

In 2008, many banks in the US and around the world were on the edge of collapse when federal governments stepped in to save them. These banks were participating in unregulated lending, irresponsible loans, and unchecked practices. They were given massive bailouts without any insurance that they would change their practices and low and behold, they haven't. Now Bank of America, along with other major banks, are starting to charge more fees to their users because of their mismanaged practices and new regulations. If you are sick of big banks rolling over on the customer for their lack of responsible [...]
