Thanks to everyone that listened and tuned in. The ‘best of’ show was a lot of fun. Thank you especially to those that told us their favorite music of 2009. Send me your favorite music of 2009 at publiceducation@thefmly.com and we’ll play it on next weeks show!
So without further ado, the play list for the ‘best of 2009′ show.
Big news that I’m so pleased to announce. Church’s Song Force Crystal will see its proper release August 4 on a collaborative effort from Sohitek and Tender Loving Empire! As I’ve shared before, I caught Church at a birthday party in Brooklyn during their 28 state all-we-have-is-this-van tour and it was no less than epic. I’m talking if Grizzly Bear could get an analog dance party bumpin’ kind of epic. Like if there was a national holiday for bacon dogs kind of epic! Sorry vegans…
FMLY has hooked Church up with a party at the Smell on October 4 with our homie Railcars. Hit it up! More tour dates in seven states after the jump. And if anyone is in Portland Church is throwing a free album release party on August 2. Info right here.
Simple and true words: No one can keep up with Breakfast Mountain. They are the DMT released in your brain every night leaving you to trip balls in the dream realm, they are the pinched lime that makes you gasp while stinging your open sore and they are the unholiest of erections that every dude wakes up with in the morning.
If you’ve ever had sex, then you’ve already heard Breakfast Mountain. Formed in 1999 to prevent Y2K, BM has been making love to ears for a decade. Like meat-lovers pizza, Breakfast Mountain spends a lot of time in your mom. [via]
Armed to the teeth with a Roland SP-404, CDJ, and tons of other shit that would leave any traditional musician quite baffled the Portland boys and hopefully soon-to-be homies are like finding Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head in romantic endeavors – getting it on status – with These Are Powers. Some seriously fucked up jams going down, but I can’t help but to shout to the world that I’ve found a new love and inspiration. GO WEST COAST! Download the awesome and indescribable 19-track demo HOOOODED free right here.
Breakfast Mountain will appear at an incredible and super rad free & all-ages festival PDX Pop Now! this weekend at Rotture in Portland. This year’s PDX Pop Now! festival will stream live at PRA Radio after the fest hit up the site again to download entire sets! Entire festival lineup after the jump including sets by FMLY favs Grouper, Nurses, Au, Menomena, Benoit Pioulard, Rob Walmart and way too many more to mention. Again, this is free and all ages.
FMLY FRNDS and one of my favorite bands of ‘09, Church, will appear at the fest on Saturday. More on them this week as they’ll be heading down to Los Angeles in October to play a FMLY gathering at the Smell with our bro Railcars. Plus their Song Force Crystal record is quickly becoming one of my favorite releases this year, and it hasn’t even seen the public yet!
