Welcome to Total Bummer , the alternate universe that is Spirit Cat where by wake you shred with quiet giants and by slumber your favorite bands lay cuddle puddled on your new best friends' floor. Where Mutual Benefit, Little Spoon, Dark Sea of Awareness, and Teengirl Fantasy aren't only the names of artists in attendance but a total part of the actual experience... okay, maybe not the teengirl fantasy part. A festival planned in bedrooms, for music recorded in bedrooms, to be performed at future house shows... how much realer does a fest get? We've [...]

Yohuna - It's All Yours Truman Peyote - Magentadoor II Yohuna & Truman Peyote - Carrefour Adelyn Rose + Yohuna - All The Slow Songs (Waiting) Aside from their collaborative performances at FMLY FEST in December it has been a whiiiile since we've heard what's up from snuggle buddies Yohuna and Truman Peyote ... though I insist that there's no rush for transparency when your previous output contains this value of limitless inspiration and exploration. To our excitement the [...]

I am Genko - The Right Path I Am Genko - It's All Yours (Yohuna cover) There's no one in the world like Ricardo Gutierrez, his spirit drips in monome sequence with blinks I'm sure must cue up some incomprehensible beat patterns. For Ricardo's alter ego, and Lima, Peru's resident sonic-magician I Am Genko 2012 is a new year with new gear. Last time we checked in with Ricardo we were devastated to hear that his home had been broken into and instruments stolen, he had launched an [...]

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 [...]

[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 [...]

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 [...]

I Am Genko - It's All Yours (Yohuna cover) One year ago, Lima Peru's sweetheart and beatsoulmachine i am genko was working on his first LP when he was robbed blind. Everything was stolen. Now he is trying to recover all of his gear so he can give us an amazing new LP but he needs our help! We all know times are tough but even $5 will help him get back on his feet. He may or may not be making the trip out to FMLY FEST Brooklyn this Summer but that [...]

Pregnant - Letter to a Friend Daniel Trudeau is Pregnant , and Pregnant shouldn't be a stranger to FMLY members. His music has been a favorite in this community since long before his exceptional new album Life Hard: I Try was released via Mush Records this past September. We're excited that he'll be celebrating FMLY Fest with performances in both LA and Oakland! I asked Daniel to share some inspirations with the site, and he obliged. Follow the link to see what's been floating his boat! [...]

photo cred :: emily reo Our inaugural Little Spoon post has been a long time coming, but considering how long we've gone through this life without knowing the majesty of Sir Cameron Potter it feels justified to tease our anxious flirtation out as long as possible before this first kiss. Prepare to get real. Cameron's sounds have been floating around the internet for the latter part of this year, maybe you remember hearing them under his former High Sea moniker, but the production of [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
