Anamanaguchi Covers Wavves

Covered this track on a whim today. Wavves is a one-man noise/punk/bro from SD, so I went reallyreally raw on the mix and all that [Peter, Anamanaguchi]

New York blipstars Anamanaguchi answered the prayers we should have asked for by delivering a cover of Wavves‘ “So Bored.” Matching Nathan’s intensity and earning bonus points for creativity, Anamanaguchi have given us a must download that is certain to appease lo-fi and 8bit fans alike.

Don’t forget to peep and purchase the guchi bros’ latest release, Dawn Metropolis, here. If you’re new to the 8bit scene, I interviewed Anamanaguchi in March of ‘08 – check it out here and in advance I’m sorry for the awful editing and sound levels.

FMLY Interviews The Morning Benders

Last week I saw the Morning Benders at the Troubadour and the Echo and was absolutely blown away. If you ever have the chance to see these guys live, do. They are definitely a band to look out for this year.
Anyway, here’s a little interview/live acoustic song from one of my favorite bands.

Industry Killed The Independent Star

I am extremely tired of not the music industry, but the industry of writing that is behind music. There is no freedom allotted to the writer to share what they please, even when they are doing this free of charge; challenging experimentalism and offering a greater insight to a passion. That’s all that I’m going to say because I don’t want to go down a path that I’ll regret – I know the consequences that will probably come of what I’ve already written.

I need to move back to Los Angeles. Cameron and I need to work together and really begin FMLY for what it’s meant to be. The LA scene is dying, I doubt that it’ll even last until summer. Everything will come back to New York and the East coast and coming with it will be the current kings of the LA scene abandoning their current residence. LA is not their home and they have no problem leaving it, they’ll just ride the wave wherever it takes them. In 3 years when I graduate college, expect some serious business because I am NOT fucking around anymore.

Here’s an interview that I did with The Teenagers, you can read the article over at IHEARTCOMIX. I don’t mind linking to other blogs on my own, this is something that the rest of the blogosphere gets really pissy about. I see it as a brotherhood.

editor’s note: I don’t know what I was thinking in writing this, it’s embarrassing to look back at and this rash behavior, as you’ve seen, has not and will not occur again.
