 I’ve been a little slow on the blog this summer, with good reason – dog, new job, no money, etc – but I figure it’s kind of my duty to kick you guys down with the details for this year’s FYF Fest, since I’ve done it pretty much every year…. The lineup was announced a week or 2 ago and includes some pretty awesome shit that we’ve written about in the past…. For starters, fucking UNBROKEN is on this years FYF lineup. Yeah, and I do mean the Life Love Regret UNBROKEN. What the fuck? My friend had Continue reading FYF Fest 2010 Is Just Around The Corner – Lineup, Etc….
 Last week, Rock The Bells 2010 announced the addition of Snoop Dogg, A Tribe Called Quest, and Lauryn Hill just days before tickets were to go on sale. Pretty slick move if you ask me. But it gets better – Snoop Dogg will perform the entirety of his debut album Doggystyle – do you have any idea how much that rules? Tribe will perform Midnight Marauders, and to top it off there will be a very special performance from Lauryn Hill. LAURYN HILL! Right?? The three legends were added to an already star-studded lineup that includes Wu-Tang (PERFORMING Continue reading Snoop, Tribe, and Hill Added to Rock The Bells 2010…
 “Let’s Hear That String Part Again, Because I Don’t Think They Heard It All the Way Out In Bushnell” – Sufjan Stevens So I just saw Wes Anderson’s latest film The Fantastic Mr. Fox, and I really liked it a lot. The movie reminds me of mewithoutYou’s latest music video “The Fox, The Crow, and The Cookie.” In an interview with Alternative Press, singer Aaron Weiss said “the title and plot are taken almost directly from a children’s story by Bawa Muhaiyaddeen that my mom used to read to me. It’s from a book called My Love You, Continue reading Video: mewithoutYou – The (Fantastic Mr.) Fox, The Crow, and The Cookie…
 LOS ANGELES – The 2009 “We The People” Festival originally scheduled for Nov. 21 has been postponed until early 2010. From the Festival: As organizers, we are committed to presenting only the finest event possible for this important movement. Due to ongoing economic challenges, we decided our best option was to move the event to a later date to insure these standards are maintained for the benefit of our important, loyal audience. Continue reading WE THE PEOPLE MUSIC FESTIVAL RESCHEDULED FOR 2010…
 Not really sure how I missed this one guys, considering the fact that I live like 2 miles away from where this shindig’s gonna go down, and 2 or 3 of my friend’s bands are playing. Better late than never though, hmm? If you don’t have plans, now you do. Unless you’re like me and you don’t have 10 bucks to spend on it. So someone go, support the crew, be stoked that some awesome tunes are gonna be live within walking distance from your house – without the support of the city.

 Checkout this clip of Nirvana performing “School” at the 1992 Reading Festival – I guess it was recently made available for fans and comes from the CD+DVD Nirvana Live At Reading which hits stores November 17th. (CD only version arriving on November 3rd.) Nirvana’s performance at the Reading Festival in 1992 was one of the greatest Nirvana shows of all time (not that I’ve actually ever seen them live on anything other than video/tv) – but it was the one where Kurt Cobain came on stage in a hospital gown. Ring any bells? If not, don’t fret – Continue reading Unseen Nirvana Footage From 1992…
 Bassist Eric Wilson and drummer Bud Gaugh are hitting the stage as Sublime, just like they did in February – only, now everyone knows about it so FANS will actually get to go. The show is part of Cypress Hill’s Smokeout, and while Sublime might get the most attention, the lineup includes a ton of your favorites. Scheduled to hit the stage on Oct. 23 and 24 are…

 So thanks to Fever Dragon, Fantastic Weapon was able to secure press passes to FYF Fest at the last second – unfortunately, I was unable to make it because my car sucks and I’m a total stress-case so I can’t really hook you up with a review, but dude – THESE PHOTOS ARE INSANE. Especially the Dillinger Escape Plan pics. They are fucking PRISTINE. Give kudos to Kehni Davis aka Fever Dragon at his myspace – here’s a direct link to his blog post containing a few more photos than what you see here: click me click me!.

 The Jazz Butcher, also known as The Jazz Butcher Conspiracy and The Jazz Butcher And His Sikkorskis From Hell, are a British musical group founded by Pat Fish. Their oeuvre is blackly humorous with such topics as Thomas Pynchon’s The Crying of Lot 49, an unrequited crush on Shirley Maclaine, and an ode to SF writer Harlan Ellison. The song “Sister Death” is not about the comic book character Continue reading THE JAZZ BUTCHER IS PLAYING PTP FEST 2…
