Sun kissed Angelinos walked away from Saturday’s FYF Fest with a tan and new appreciation for the typically overlooked Los Angeles Historic State Park. The strip of grass and dirt in downtown L.A. (just around the corner from Chinatown) transformed into a musical mecca this weekend with Trendland favorites including Yacht, Simian Mobile Disco, Cold War Kids and veterans, Broken Social Scene.

L.A. locals, Fool’s Gold, and Brooklynites, Twin Sister kicked off the day with summer vibes, while high-energy bands like Avi Buffalo and Mister Heavenly fought for early day dance lovers. Ty Segall gave punk rockers some grunge to scream for and a reminder of why teen angst was–and for some, is–so fun to cheer about. With profanity Read the full story

Fools Gold : Nadine (Memory Tapes Version)

Mystery Group‘s memory cassette and weird tapes combine forces to form as one super mystery group - Memory Tapes. Really, they’re all just a one man band, Dayve Hawk, from the south jersey/philly area. The shrouded and confusing identity concept would be tiresome if his output wasn’t so solid. whether by the name MC, WT, or MT, Mr. Hawk has found a successful formula with hazy, synth-heavy instrumentals; lovely laid-back vocals, and excellent remixes of new classics like YYY’s “Heads Will Roll” & PBJ’s “It Don’t Move Me“, amongst others.

Memory Tapes will be releasing his debut album, ‘Seek Magic,’ this week, and the single ‘Bicycle’ is just as strong as anything that has come before it. But I choose to share one of his new remixes, of another indie supergroup, Fools Gold’s “Nadine.”
