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 did their show from Fred’s Cafe North this week and a whole slew of guests came by for the Mardi Gras activities. Things kick off with discussion of the weeks activities and the Super bowl with Susie and Ryan, then Matt “Redpants” Thomas makes an appearance. Then our friend Richard from Henry The Archer stops by before completely freaking out our featured guest Big Mike. Then we wrap things up with a special appearance by Seth then Elif takes over and interviews Richard and gives us the sound byte of a lifetime. In all it was a fantastic evening at Fred’s. Thank you to Mandy for letting us come out, and Ted for serving us.
If your ever in the need for a good home cooked meal or a badass burger, check out Fred’s North off of Western Center Blvd, just half a mile from I-35
