your face on my mind has been engraved into every nugget of brain cell.
some things last a long time, some things are soon done
your taste on my tongue has been injected into each one of its taste buds.”

your face on my mind has been engraved into every nugget of brain cell.
In the case of Daniel Johnston, some things do last a long time. His influence upon music of the last couple of decades is undeniable, his cult following is equal to that of the Lakers, and his genuine spirit although evolved over time has not once been tainted of its authenticity. Here are a couple of tunes for you to enjoy that derive specifically from “Some Things Last A Long Time” and have been an influence upon your FMLY.
Daniel Johnston – Some Things Last A Long Time
Our feelings for Beach House are well known and Victoria Legrand’s vocals in this piece envelop you in the warmest of blankets, kiss you on the forehead, and lay you on a bed of sand as to pleasure you with mild discomfort.
Beach House – Some Things Last A Long Time
We haven’t talked about Noah23 in a minute, but this track is still one of my favorites. We spun it on Public Education Sunday evening and for those of you tuning in and feeling the Daniel Johnston sample, here ya go! If Noah23 is the future of hip-hop then I’d like to be around for at least another few hundred years. The lyricism of this track still grips me like the topside of a skateboard, mad props to the embedded Dan Johnston references that I’m still picking out.
and just to throw my favorite tune out there…
“round the world like a yo-yo walk ya dog fetch. connect four, spectacular in a scrabble session. paper airplanes turn your jenga into 9/11. we stay hungry just like hippos. counting monopoly money, we’re fuckin’ rich yo.”
Noah23 recently gave an album of rarities from this year away via MySpace. Here’s the mediafire link and I highly recommend the download. Noah23 continues to fascinate me, especially with his open admittance of how drugs affect his music and his unusual hippie upbringing [for a Canadian]. His cultural references are spot on and for those who haven’t began listening to his music I suggest you do so.

Don’t forget to pick up a copy of Rock Paper Scissors from thecatacombz.com or hold off until the vinyl is released. There are some really sick beats and flows, but I’ve still gotta recommend Quicksand to any fan of modern versatile hip-hop.
An album I never talked about this year is Dosh’s Wolves and Wishes released in May via anticon. With contributions from Bonnie ’Prince’ Billy, Andrew Bird, Fog, Odd Nosdam and the usual suspects, Mike Lewis and Jeremy Ylvisaker. A FMLY review of the album will be up relatively soon, but if you haven’t had a chance to check out the album it makes a great holiday gift. Visit the DoshFMLY website here and pick up some cheap CD’s, vinyl and other goodies.

Don’t forget to listen to Alice’s Restaurant by Arlo Guthrie today. After all, it’s Thanksgiving!
And lastly, Jeffrey Lewis has made a history of Rough Trade video that I highly recommend. Check it out!
FMLY isn’t really that Thanksgiving festive, but we certainly enjoy a great homecooked meal. Have a great dinner everyone and if you get something out of it then more power to ya. I’ll be a bit outside of New York City in Warwick romping around in the forest if anyone wants to come join. Don’t forget to RSVP to our event we’ve overwhelmed you with HERE.
“this whole new album is my crossover sellout album”
Like Gym Class Heroes releasing The Papercut Chronicles, Noah23 is a unique voice in hip hop at a crucial point – the crossover sellout album – but what does this mean? Lucky for Noah23 aka the Guelph oracle aka Captain Clark aka Fuzzylogic aka Fulleffect this means more fans and with the coming of 2012, possibly a more enlightened planet to appreciate these tunes. The Ontario native’s latest record, Rock Paper Scissors, dropped on September 23 via his own label, Plague Language, and although it hasn’t received nearly as much press as it should the album has successfully turned heads. Bringing together spot-on cultural references, quick beats and a smooth, warm aesthetic, Noah23 has delivered a very sharp underground hip-hop record that Canada can be damn proud of (along with the rest of his work, notably Quicksand). Nearly an entire album of guest spots ranging from Cadence Weapon to Jim Guthrie I am very enthusiastic in recommending this album, and keep an ear out for a Matrix sample. Check out Noah23’s MySpace here.
