Wreck The Tape Deck

finally, L.A. has a festival worthy of Pitchfork status. the F Yeah Festival (previously the Fuck Yeah Fest) has gone even more wuss and titled themselves the FYF Fest this year, but what they are lacking in balls they have more than made up for with a crazy gigantor lineup of indie superstars, and yes, ‘indie superstars’ is totally a contradiction in terms…
tomorrow is the day, and the show is being headlined by  The Black Lips, Tim & Eric, and Lightning Bolt, plus a ton of other WTTD favs like No Age, The Thermals, Glass Candy, Mika Miko, Crystal Antlers, Telepathe, Peanut Butter Wolf, Har Mar Superstar, and (TINT fav) Wavves, who is, hilariously, WAYYYYY down on the list. there are a ton of other acts, too. you can see the posted lineup, set times, etc., at the FYF site.

and all this for a whopping twenty bucks? FUCK YEAH! oh, i mean FY! they’re also saying that it’s a “Save Our State Parks Festival”, and i’m not sure exactly if money is supposed to go to the state parks or whatever because the site says they’re just raising ‘awareness’, which is a little sketchy. there is a whole dollar being added for charity, though. so i guess they’re doing more than i am. well fuck that. no one outclasses jesus satan, FYF Fest! here. now i’m raising awareness.

apparently the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are getting a little lazy and cheap in their old age. they’re running a contest for their fans to design a shirt which they will then use to sell at their concerts and online. so basically they make a ton of money off your blood and sweat and tears and all you get is some autographed ‘booty’. (unless by ‘booty’ they mean Karen O – then suddenly it’s the best contest ever.) sounds like a rip to me, but then again, we’re offering a pair of free tickets to Fritz Helder and the Phantoms if you Twitter for us like the hookers you know you are, so who are we to judge? oh yeah, we’re bloggers. info below.

Hey Folks, all us YYYs have been avid collectors of t-shirts over the years, what can we say, WE LIKEY A GOOD T-SHIRT. In our travels many of you have chucked a homemade YYY tee on the stage or what not and all the shirts have always been unique and poured over with loooooove. So it got us thinking: how about giving you the fans a crack at coming up with a fresh new blitzin’ YYY T-shirt design! It’s a natural fact that YYYs have amongst YOU a whole heap of ART STARS! So school’s out for the summer and we want you to spend a hot lazy afternoon throwing something together for us YYYs to REPRESENT! And I got a hunch you’re gonna bring it! And if you do we’ll bring back a little something in return…!! Luv, YYYs
