Tonight the boys continue their History of Metal series by diving into the subgenre of Black Metal. Murder, suicide, cannibalism, and Satan worship are some of the things you won’t here coming from the world of pop music. Get your horns up!

After a little bit of an audio nightmare, here it is, part two of the Funkytown/JJTM epic crossover coverage of the Fort Worth Weekly Music Awards. If you haven’t heard part one yet, you can go over to the Funkytown podcast and give it a listen. It includes some red carpet coverage and the first hour plus of the awards ceremony. In this episode, part two, the Bud Light and Whiskey really get flowing as multiple guests stop by the podcast table to hop on and share their thoughts and opinions on the evening. Some of the audio is a little wanky, especially when you have uncertified engineers (ahem, Matt Stubbs) trying to commandeer the gear. Like in the previous years, the Fort Worth Weekly always delivers a fun awards ceremony that is talked about for weeks on end, and this year’s ceremony wasn’t any different. Thank you to the Fort Worth Weekly, and all the sponsors involved in putting on a great yearly event. We know a lot of hard work goes into putting it all together, and the music community really appreciates what you do! So sit back, relax, and enjoy this piece of audio anarchy for your earhole!
It’s 4th of July eve as the gentlemen from Mountain of Smoke make a visit to the Temple to talk about their new release Gods of Biomechanics. It’s been a little while since Brooks and PJ have been by we spend quite a bit of time catching up on what they’ve been up to, the addition of Alex to the band, and recording with Michael Briggs up at Civil Audio. In true Mountain of Smoke fashion, Gods of Biomechanics is a brilliant 10 track punishing assault through the Blade Runner landscape. The new addition of Alex playing pedal steel on the tracks brings a sense of balance to PJ’s thundering rhythm and Brook’s low end. It’s our feel-good album of the summer!
So buckle up, this is the longest episode that we’ve done to date and it’s one of our favorites.
Album release parties begin this weekend, July 7th at the Lost Well in Austin, July 14th at the Double Wide in Dallas, July 19th at Dan’s Silver Leaf in Denton, and July 26th at the Ridglea Room in Fort Worth.
The opening track is Orion’s Shoulder, closing track is Tyrell.
The boys are back in the Temple doing the thing they do and catching up on a lot of the BS that happened while they were gone. Vinnie Paul and Anthony Bourdain passed away and there’s talk of their lives and careers. The border has erupted in chaos. Tom Arnold is nuts and a cokehead. There already is a Space Force. The Fort Worth Weekly held their annual Music Awards Showcase down on the Southside. We’ve all seen Solo finally, and most importantly, we are all dug into the World Cup. Dante and Jason stopped by to express their opinions on everything and to set Matt straight.
Dustin sits down with good friend Jeffrey Lord for a chilled out conversation about his past 5 years of podcasting, how he enjoys the view from atop his throne as a Fort Worth podcasting legend, and what lies ahead for him and the rest of the Funkytown Podcast crew.
