This is a pretty unacceptable news story from ESPN. Some guy I don’t care about had the audacity to suggest that motorists run down bicyclists in response to these new bike lanes in Washington. Thanks to TAKEOVERLA for letting us know about this story. Please watch this video and pass it along.

This a chance for us as a community to be heard. We are traffic and deserve to be on the streets, and people like Mr. Kornheiser must be held accountable for their actions and speech. Stand up, and let your voice be heard….
So some how I missed this but every time I wonder what Vampire Weekend is up to they have another music video to entertain me with. This one features Jake Gyllenhaal, RZA, one of the Jonas Brothers (they all look the same to me) and Lil Jon. Vampire Weekend, you guys have quite the diverse crew.
If you are in Austin hitting up the hot sauce store, drinking all that free beer and being bombarded with music from every direction, take a break on Saturday and head down to the river for Thank you, Come Again for some outlet free music with some new and old FRNDS.

We will be hanging out from 3 till 7 and then all walking over to Dominican Joe’s across the river for a night of sweet, inspiring jams that will make you want to be making more music yourself.
There are few things Gucci Mane values more than a couple of drinks with close friends as this video demonstrates. Of course right after this video they got into a big tickle pile.
So we all know the first Saturday of the month is the FMLY RIDE. In March our FMLY in Santa Cruz took to the streets in their first (and very fun) FMLY RIDE. Now on April 3rd, we will be riding with our FMLY in LA (eastside and westside), Santa Cruz and San Francisco with bands in each city and the FMLY love we all thrive from. If you are interested in starting a FMLY RIDE in your city, shoot me over an email and we can help make it a reality. Who knows! There might be some people in your city who are already working on it… You can email me at cameron@thefmly.com.
Remember: These rides are fun but they are also for us to take a different look at the cities we live in. Our urban landscape can be used in very positive ways that make everyone happier. When you are at a FMLY event, you represent FMLY. Don’t tag your name, leave trash, piss people off… This is about love and respect. If you don’t know what I am really talking about when I talk about FUN, check out this video. It does a pretty great job of explaining the principles of FUN.
A little while ago, I found this Animal Collective cover of My Girls by a band called Taken by Trees; The video for which is above. I really loved the song when I heard it but for whatever reason I never looked into them beyond that. Taken By Trees is Victoria Bergsman; an amazingly beautiful song writer from Sweden. All her songs reflect a direct connection to a natural environment.
This Sunday Deakin of Animal Collective will be playing in LA. I know you were looking for those tickets when this show went on sale and to no one’s surprise they were hard to get if you didn’t jump on them. Well lucky for us, a second show has been added at 5 PM on Sunday and the Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock and we have a pair of tickets to give away for it! This show will be amazing. This is a chance to see Deakin for the first time in LA and he will also be performing with Drawlings who will be playing McWorld with Kria Brekkan that coming wednesday (fbook event) If you want them, send an email to info@thefmly.com with your favorite music of the moment (either an mp3 or myspace, last.fm or something).
For those of you that didn’t make it to the ride this weekend, you can check out this epic footage above. You can also check out pictures here. Not to worry! The FMLY RIDE will be back on April 3rd in LA and will also be in Santa Cruz, San Francisco and a other cities TBA. If you want to help bring FMLY RIDE to your city, email me at cameron@thefmly.com and I will help you get it started.
We are so excited about this show. Kria Brekkan (former lead singer of Mum) and Drawlings will be coming to McWorld on March 24th. Drawlings is the sister of Avey Tare’s Animal Collective and the family blood runs deep as her musicbox-tickertoy music has the same hauntingly beautiful quality. Kria Brekkan has the ability to pull you deep down inside the earth and open up your soul. Her music hits a note with me that goes straight into me. It is uncomfortable but leaves me longing for more. This is going to be a really spectacular show and, personally, I wouldn’t miss it for the world.
Few things make me happier than mass hippies chilling in parks. Weed Diamond’s new video is just that. All the clips come from a brief documentary called Hippies in het Vondelpark, 1973 and were made by our blitzed out friend, GOTC.
