Hey, whaddya know! Congrats to the homies Matt & Kim for winning a ‘Breakthrough Video’ VMA one Kanye fit ago. Big ups to Taylor Cohen and Otto Arsenault for directing the vid, although I’ve seen a few homeless dudes direct the same thing minus the expensive cameras and supportive fanbase. Hey Kim, next time I see ya I’ma buy YOU a drank.
If you forgot what those privates looked like, hit it after the jump.
Wake up one morning to the smell of smoke, look out the window and everything once known is set ablaze. The skies bleed red as the ocean melts into the populous. Steel crumbles beneath the ground into the lava while the remaining folks in your position share the common memory that is your collective destruction. Boogie Boarder have stolen my heart. Lyke omg it’s lyke 1f Wavves (Juavves) was in that band Ponytail or s0mething.
Seriously, I saw Boogie Boarder at the Impose party last weekend. Wow. One of the single raddest bands I’ve seen all year. Get on this now (that’s what she said). Before you hop onto that board, warm up with a new hood jam and one of their best yet. Beastie Boys, meet Matt & Kim. Video of Beastie Boys featuring Nas at Bonnaroo after the jump.
Hey guys, here’s to having an awesome Friday which will inevitably lead to a rad weekend. New Yorkers can wipe away their tears and toss on a pair of shorts, it’s going to be in the 80s this weekend and there are plenty of great shows to get to so I’ll refer everyone to ohmyrockness to get the info. For a party starter or contributions to a mixtape of your own this weekend, here are some tunes to get your weekend on to.
We apologize for any confusion, but here is the final info regarding Ninjasonik, Japanther, Koalacaust and Joyce Manor next Friday, April 17. We just got through partyin’ with our boys in Austin and it’s a thrill to bring them back to Los Angeles with the FMLY, not to mention provide you all with the REAL Japanther set that is owed after December’s freak dental emergency.
Let’s cut the small talk and get on to the tunes. A flyer is in the works and you can find the location of this show to the left of this page – 4134 Kenyon Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90066. If you don’t recognize this as a venue or even a warehouse then congratulations reader, THIS IS A HOUSE PARTY. That’s right, accordi-punk Blink-182 love rawkers Koalacaust and Joyce Manor alongside Brooklyn DIY princes Japanther and Ninjasonik will be rockin’ a FMLY house party…its been way too long since we’ve had one, but hey, gotta do it right or don’t do it at all. Forget Coachella, see you there.
ATTENTION: photographers, videographers, painters, etc… get in contact with us asap about this show, we need your skills!
I mentioned FMLY pal, and the MySpaceless, ECK$ a few posts back when talking about the album art for the Black Lips‘ latest, 200 Million Thousand. Taking a sharp vocal sample of Lil’ Wayne uttering “Bitch, I’m The Boss” and constructing pillars of bedroom beats underneath it on Ableton Live, ECK$ ends up developing a catchy beat with some pretty dope context in a live setting. If you’re looking for a playful, club-friendly remix I highly recommend this as well as our boy DJDT’s remix of “A Milli.” No lies, these two tracks are the best-suited Weezy remixes to my taste, but I’d like to here what you all think.
As long as I’m posting, I’d like to toss up my favorite remix of the year thus far. I don’t keep my hardcore love for Ninjasonik a secret, and I would be lying if I said I wasn’t head over heels for Matt & Kim. As if last year’s Ninjasonik remix of “Silver Tiles” wasn’t dank enough, our Brooklyn homies have released a spot-on remix of “Daylight” that I’ve had on repeat for who knows how long. “Daylight” video

TODD P GOES TO AUSTIN is a cultural snap-shot of America’s underground, do-it-yourself music scene featuring unforgettable live performances from Matt and Kim, Dan Deacon, Mika Miko,
The DeathSet and many more.
As record labels die, independents thrive. In the wake of Napster, MySpace and Facebook there is a generation of artists creating and performing music on their own terms. With the help of legendary DIY rock promoter Todd P, Brooklyn has become ground zero for these exciting young musicians.
Using never-before-seen footage, including material shot by the bands themselves, TODD P GOES TO AUSTIN exposes what life is like surviving and touring at the underground level. Interviews with Todd about the necessity of independent music and creativity connect the bands as they tour down to Austin, TX to appear in the DIY music scene’s answer to the SXSW Music Festival.
It’s impossible to spend time in New York and not be affected by Todd P, the man [and his interns] weaves culture into flawless seams of mosh, ecstasy, dance, spectacle and not only does it all on the cheap but all ages too! The first week I moved to NY in ‘07 I didn’t know who Todd P was, but I was familiar with the Brooklyn music scene and inadvertently made my way into quite a number of his events. When I wrote for CMJ, Todd was a panelist for a discussion on ’selling out’ and listening to him speak made a me a little angry, but I soon ‘got it’ and even quote some of his valid points in discussion. The man is a local icon and a future legend, so although I have much for-and-against Todd P I just need to give him his deserving big ups, props, respect and admiration from FMLY. Todd, you keep the dollars in my wallet, you introduce me to the most interesting people and I can’t even imagine my life in NY without Death By Audio, The Silent Barn and the ever-expanding list.
This being put out there, a movie has been made to honor his preservation of DIY ethic and hopefully bring in some fresh new faces to these intimate experiences. Trailer above.
