Amidst ongoing drought conditions, wildfires have been popping up all over the area, and Jacob's Well in Wimberley has stopped flowing, for only the fourth time in recorded history. Day two of the Alex Jones Sandy Hook trial ended with lawyers for the opposing sides squaring off over video evidence from Jones' InfoWars show, resulting in the jury being dismissed early. Austin's residential real estate market shows signs of a cooldown, including dropping prices and rising inventory - however, no relief is yet in sight for renters, as prices continue to rise amidst tight inventory. Speaking of tough times for renters - the Austin Animal Center credits a wave of evictions for overcrowding at its shelter, as renters are forced to give up their pets. On the Austin City Council's extensive agenda today: considering a return of the Austin Police Department's use of license plate readers, and codifying the exact parameters that make an establishment a "live music venue". The nonprofit Urban Alchemy has been contracted to run the ARCH homeless shelter in downtown Austin - their experience in the area is under some doubt. The parent company of Spectrum has found itself owing $7 billion - billion, with a "b" - in punitive damages stemming from a case in which one of its technicians murdered an elderly customer in Irving. Float Fest made its return last weekend with a stellar lineup of artists - and a litany of problems. Texas is ranked #1 in the United States for production of renewable energy. Bummed about the end of Choco Tacos? We know a place in Austin where you can still get one. Weekend live music: Friday shows include Cat Power at Emo's, A.R. Rahman at the Bass Concert Hall, A Giant Dog at the Mohawk. Both Friday and Saturday, catch The Shins at ACL Live. Saturday features Third Eye Blind at Germania Insurance Amphitheater, a Madam Radar album release at the 04 Center. And Sunday catch a terrific band I discovered by accident last weekend, Die Spitz are wrapping their monthlong Sunday residency at Hotel Vegas.

Congratulations to our host CJ Morgan for accepting a new position with our newest radio station (ESPN 102.7)!! Don't worry, he'll still be doing this immature show about clickbait and genitals. BUT now you can catch him live from 11am-1pm doing sports talk with our show rival/friend at work Jason Dick . Listen in if you care about sports and other sports-related shenanigans. The new show starts August 1st! CONGRATULATIONS, CAPTAIN! CJ, Emily, and Spenny broadcasted from Float Fest this past weekend in Gonzales, Texas. How did it go? Well, it was a bit of a mess on multiple levels, but it looked like a ton of people were also having fun. How did our three wonderful showrunners fare, though? Well, results were mixed.  And Matt Bearden reports that Meta will be changing Instagram to do mostly TikTok style videos. Most users are pretty upset. Among these users are the renowned Kardashians (don't pretend you haven't heard of them), who already love Instagram for the way it is currently. Will the Kardashians save the world and social media from Mark Zuckerberg's greedy changes? We can only hope. Support the show: https://www.101x.com/justmattandcj/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's CJ is Fat, we discover a job opening for a Canadian candy company that is hiring a professional taster. Yes. Candy. Tasting. And it pays $100K! Hell, I'd do it for free. The only downside is that the business is in Canada, and we don't know if they use real money there.  Emily shares with us a story from her horrible experience at a Float Fest of years past. She also has a show recommendation that you can find on Netflix, and the premise sounds pretty unique. It involves murder mystery too.  And Matt highlights the Classic Game Fest that is taking place in Austin this weekend, which sounds like a nice gathering for nerds and families alike. Also, how are NFT owners doing recently? Well, according to Matt - not good. Learn more in today's Weird or Wired. Okay, bye.Support the show: https://www.101x.com/justmattandcj/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kaitlin Armstrong had her first court appearance yesterday, during which she entered a plea of not guilty. She's charged with first-degree murder.

And, while blazing temperatures continue through the early part of next week, some relief may be on the way - highs in the upper 90's, by the current forecast, will begin by next Thursday and extend into early August.

Welcome back everyone! Season 3 starts with a fantastic musician, Mike Vincent Fisher! His tracks are tight, really refreshing, and lyrically solid. I really enjoyed talking to him about the direction music is going, unpacking some of his songs, and getting some production techniques and insights.Facebook - @mvfishermusic // Instagram - @mikevincentfisher // TikTok - @mikevincentfisher // Spotify  // Bandcamp  // Youtube Born and raised in the outskirts of Motown, Detroit, Michigan, Mike Vincent Fisher has a deep passion for emotional, catchy, and soulful music and melodies. Cutting his teeth performing solo and in bands across Northwest Florida, MVF eventually made the move out to Austin, TX to pursue a full-time music career. In Austin, Fisher partnered with some of Austin's top performers and industry professionals, eventually performing at major festivals SXSW, Float Fest, Free Week, Red Gorilla Fest, and popular venues like Mohawk, Empire Control Room, Stubb's BBQ, and up-and-down historic 6th st. Through the years, Mike has mainly performed solo, as well as in various bands including O Conqueror, White Label Analog, Too Many Humans, and MVF..Fisher currently performs lead vocals and keys with band Backseat Soundtrack, and keys and percussion in the band The Human Circuit. In 2020, MVF completed a solo album with Austin producer/engineer Charles Godfrey at Scary American Studios. The solo EP, "Have a Great Summer" was released June 2nd, 2021.

Taylor Baker, lead singer of the electro pop band, SWELLS, is a native Austinite who happens to be incredibly talented, creative, and gorgeous in an unfair way. As SWELLS, Taylor and her other half, Drew Walker, recently toured the US with Taylor on vocals and Drew playing guitar, synth and trumpet. They’ve played ACL Fest, SXSW and Float Fest, and they’ll be releasing a new single and music video in March for their song “Lights Out.” Along with music, Taylor has a full time job, a lifestyle blog (www.taylortaylor.me), and an active presence on social media.

Lifestyle editor Mariah Simank recaps Float Fest weekend with Multimedia editor Preslie Cox.

On July 18, 2017 DJ Nursic previewed Float Fest by playing music only by artists performing at this year's festival (July 22 & 23 in San Marcos, TX). KTRU will be there, hit us up and let us know who you want us to cover! https://www.facebook.com/floatfestival https://www.facebook.com/djnursic

Season 1, Episode 24: Mobley Dan Sterenchuk and Tommy Estlund are honored to have as our guest, the musician Mobley. Cutting vocals in the woods behind his college dorm. Mixing in the backseat of a sedan. Sneaking into the music department after hours to teach himself to play new instruments (and sneaking out before the faculty arrived in the morning). From the start, Mobley's work has been marked by solitude, ingenuity, and a drive that could only be called obsessive. Whether you experience his music on record or at one of his live shows (on stage, he's electric), the passion is palpable. Mobley grew up all over the world, from the Spanish Mediterranean to the California coast. Perhaps it's because of this itinerant childhood that he finds it so hard to sit still. Over the last few years, he's composed dozens of pieces for stage and television (with placements on HBO, Fox, and NBC), played 200+ national tour dates (with the likes of Phantogram, JUNGLE, Mutemath, Robert Delong, & Wavves and at festivals like SXSW, CMJ, Savannah Stopover and Float Fest), and recorded (then scrapped) two whole albums in pursuit of the songs that would become his forthcoming full-length debut, Fresh Lies. Mobley wrote, produced, and played every instrument on the album. The music -- which Mobley calls "post-genre pop" -- defies easy classification, drawing liberally (often simultaneously) from an array of musical traditions. He's equally at home on a playlist next to The Weeknd and TV on the Radio alike, while his electronic, dub-dabbling production style calls to mind the intricate work of artists like James Blake and Thom Yorke. This summer and fall, he's touring as a one-man band, singing and playing keys, guitar, bass, drums, and samplers. He's spanning the United States and Mexico in support of his newest EP release, Some Other Country, out now on Violent Films.
