wavves @ market hotel + black lips dawg fight

While last night’s show was sweaty, drunk and balls to the wall, floor or against the person in front of you, the talk of the town has been what happened afterwards at Daddy’s between Nathan Williams and Jared from the Black Lips…but I’ll get to that in a bit.

fuck.

So a bunch of FMLY friends mobbed FYF fest, formally known as Fuck Yeah Fest, in order to give you an update on the world you live in.

We’re fucking Ninjasonik, we’re fucking Japanther, we’re fucking everybody in this entire place tonight!

It’s become somewhat of a cliche in these times to try and be unique, to a point where everyone that deviates from anything considered normal is a ‘Hipster’ and anybody claiming not to be is still labeled as one. But nothing is normal and nothing is unique… Anymore (or was it ever?).

f yeah!

We are so f’ing excited for FYF Fest. The annual festival will be helping out state parks this year since our government won’t. More over, you can get there for free!

First of all, if you don’t live in LA, you have the chance to win:

$300 For Gas
$200 Cash
2 Nights at a nice hotel.
4 VIP passes
4 tickets to see the pride and joy of our city, the Dodgers on Sunday, September 6th.

All you have to do is write a paragraph saying why you deserve to get your face melted and why you need to get away. All submissions should be sent to FYFcontests@gmail.com and include your full name, phone number and address. The winner will be picked on Friday, August 28th. Runners up will receive VIP tickets to the festival. Doesn’t matter where you live or your age. This contest is open to all.

The second contest includes saving our state parks. Even if you don’t decide to enter this, you should still take part because it is very important. Isn’t that what this is all about anyway?

“On July 28, the Governor signed the state budget.  It contained an additional $6M cut to state parks, bringing the total General Fund cut for this budget year to $14.2M. It is expected that this will result in the closure of more than 100 state parks.

This contest is in conjunction with the California State Parks Foundation and is about contacting your legislative representatives and the Governor to let them know how much California’s state parks mean to you. We are putting together some amazing prizes for those who draft and submit the best stories of their time spent at any of the 279 state parks across California. The grand prize winner will receive a gift bag consisting of records and CDs by the artists performing at the event, a huge care package including backpacks, watches, magazine subscriptions etc. And four VIP passes for the festival. 10 Runner ups will receive passes to the festival.

This is how you do it:

1) Click this link to get to the take action center on the California State Park Foundation’s website: http://ga3.org/campaign/budget072909
3)  Submit the letter
3) Forward the response letter that automatically gets sent to you to FYFCONTEST@GMAIL.COM and you are automatically entered in the contest.
4) For an extra special prize customize the letter and talk about the most fun you have ever had at a state park and send it with your entry letter.

The winners will be announced on Friday, Aug. 21st. So submit your memories and tell your Representatives to KEEP OUR STATE PARKS open.

We need to act now as the list of over 100 State slated for closure will be announced after September 1st!”

Trailer and downloads after the jump!

the Black Lips – Off The Block

Black Lips "Starting Over"


A good friend of mine over at Vice designed the cover art for the new Black Lips CD, 200 Million Thousand, due out February 24. I don’t have an image of it, but I do have a song off the album for ya. If not for the obvious difference in production, “Starting Over” could be a Good Bad Not Evil b-side. I’m feelin’ the track, but I’m hoping that BL take their energy-driven spirit further. The last 30 seconds of the track give me great hope, maybe a dash Liars-esque?
