dear summer of 2k12,
on june 22 & 23 we invite you to participate in our open gathering: a two day celebration of fmly and frnds representing a global community of makers, prosumers, visual/auditory/spatial artists, activists/hacktivists, theorists, writers, cyclists, environmentally conscious foodies, and like minded social do-gooders. over the last three years our festival has carried on a winter fling with california, but as saucy as the relationship is going you can’t imagine how excited we are to spend some quality time with you heartthrobs on the east coast.
fmly fest is a d.i.t. (do it together) music and arts festival, as in we accomplish nothing if we do not take strides for positive transformation together. this is an open call for all zinesters, screen printers, wall doodlers, public space connoisseurs, pillow fort enthusiasts, bedroom recorders, scenic appreciators, urban dissenters, airwave hackers, subway singers, angsty latte flippers, kids who dance their heart out at every show, rap battles, round robins, aerialists, and new friends to come together and create this gorgeous reflection of our community we’ve all been feeling.

Yesterday YVYNYL premiered Colorado’s Galaxies and their latest single “Sailing”. Don’t really have to add anything because Mark nailed it. Enjoy!
Galaxies - Sailing
Prolific musician Dillon Groeneman has a knack for melody - he can pluck a pretty progression from his thin Colorado air and slip it into the satchel of a song with the deftness of a professional orchard hand. Or perhaps a better metaphor would be a ship mate coiling rope and battening down the hatches. Either way - you win.
Get the single now, and the rest of Letters from Sea EP on January 22nd on Bndcmp.

Saskatchewan - “The Morning” (The Weeknd Cover)
Yesterday Saskatchewan released their take on the Weeknd’s “The Morning”. I covered the Orlando dream pop’s cover of Wham!’s “Last Christmas” during the holiday season and am so excited to hear new material from them. The idea to cover the Weeknd spawned from a post on their Facebook wall asking fans which song they should cover next.
Saskatchewan takes off the hazy, mysterious covering that is a trademark of the Weeknd and replaced it was blissful dream pop elements. Starting off the song are trickling guitar lines that set up the song perfectly and reappear every verse. When the first chorus comes, you’re hit with a wall of beautifully harmonized vocals. To be completely honest, I was skeptical upon listening to this cover because it’s my favorite track from the Weekend but these guys did the original justice.
For a band currently working on tracks for a new album, this is just the type of pr they could ask for! To grab a free download of the track head over to their soundcloud page. And while you’re there check out a demo of one of those new tracks.

Cloud Nothings - “No Future/No Past”
Yesterday Cloud Nothings released a video for their slow-burning intro track “No Future/No Past” of their new album Attack On Memory. The video was directed by John Ryan Manning and was debuted on Urban Outfitters website. The track marks a completely new sound for Cloud Nothings who have evolved own so much from simply being Dylan Baldi’s bedroom project. From bringing in Steve Albini to produce the album to writing the songs as a band and not just by himself, Baldi and co. have almost reinvented their sound to more of an early emo/90s noise rock band. Attack On Memory is in stores today so make sure you go out and pick up your copy today!!!
Oh Cloud Nothings, you guys have grown so much from “Hey Cool Kid”
