Have you ever tried counting how many times you say “Fuck My Life” out loud? No? You should. The results may shock you. I stopped counting after my tally hit 13. Maybe I’m just a big whiner, but a couple of days ago I created this playlist on my iPod to de-stress myself. It features some great tunes that have always made me happy and don’t remind me of anything negative — good vibes all around. It worked out pretty well.
So when Saturday night came around, I was stumped trying to come up with a theme/tracklist for today’s pmaCAST. Then I had an epiphany: I am not the only guy in the world who needs some de-stressing. My stress is nothing compared to people with real problems! So why should I lock this playlist up in the sweet confines of my iPod? I love you guys too much to do that.
There’s really nothing much to say about this week’s pmaCAST, other than it is meant to be really feel good-y. I start it up with my FAVORITE song of the moment, Feist and Ben Gibbard’s “Train Song.” I follow it up with Little Jackie’s “The World Should Revolve Around Me” and Lenka’s “The Show,” two of my favorite songs out on Top 40 radio. Then comes the Mae Shi with their Christian Bale tribute “R U Professional” — if this song doesn’t make you smile, you’re retarded. Up next are the Veronicas with their brutally stoic and heartless piece of pop majesty, “Untouched.” The next three songs are by artists you should really keep an eye on from now on: The Whitest Boy Alive, Passion Pit, and Ted & Francis. Following them is a club remix (though it doesn’t really sound like it) of Hercules & Love Affair’s “Blind” — one of 2008’s most beautifully sad anthems.
I threw in “Walking On A Dream” by Empire of the Sun (another band you should keep an eye on) right before Lily Allen’s “Fuck You,” off her new album, It’s Not Me, It’s You. This song is trill. Like super trill. I close up the podcast with a new Timid Tiger song. I know some of you are really feeling their stuff, and I’m glad. “Gadget Girls” is another song that will be featured on Timid Tiger’s new EP that will be released here pretty soon, more info on that later, I promise.
So that’s the rundown of what’s playing on this week’s pmaCAST. So tell me, what did/do you need de-stressing on? PS: Check this site out, good for a few lolz

As soon as my eyes scrolled your title line i KNEW this was meant for me.
“Fuck my life†should be my 2009 slogan.
They say writing out your troubles helps appease the mind. So, at the risk of sounding a 12 year old boy…here goes.
I’ve just moved out of my apartment and relocated into my grandparents 4 bedroom home that somehow occupies 7 people. I’ve just started university life, which I can’t stand because my teacher treats me as a special needs kid and I run the risk of being reprogrammed into “modern societyâ€(Go to school, get a job, work until i die of exhaustion).
And(cherry on top) I’ve just been fired from my job!
True, I’m not famished and have shelter, so I give thanks for that. But I feel even worse about feeling “depressed†in the first place.
Is there a doctor in the house?
Guess not, so I’ll sit here and will proclaim, “FUCK MY LIFE!!â€
Going through a shit storm of work right now. And I only realized today how bad it is. So thank PMA!
So I am going to listen to it now….
Also can you make it a zip next time. Thanks again!
Sorry, I had to take down the mp3s… if i want my podcast to be up on iTunes, I can only have 1 mp3 file (the podcast mp3 file).
SOO, I decided that if i want maximum exposure to this podcast, I’ll just post the mp3s in the morning, then replace them with my podcast file a couple of hours later, after Hypem gets them — and link to Hype Machine so you guys can stream specific songs if you don’t want to listen to the whole thing.
Aw damn, I missed the mp3s, but that’s okay, the podcast is great alone.
“Fuck My Life†was my slogan of the week for sure!
It’s 3:03 in iTunes… ?
Ha, I love this. Great post. Great podcast. I’m currently on the Christian Bale song — hilarious.
Thank you for this PMA!
That album art is fucking fantastic! So perfect for this.
That’s weird.. the file is 42.7MB, it shouldn’t be just only 3:03 on iTunes.
Boy I just love The Veronicas!!!! Great choice of song!!!! Been surfing through PMA! for a month or so, I just love it, you do a good work on keeping it updated and have a good taste for songs!!! I guess just wanted to give the thumbs up!!!! Keep up.
@ Peter G: I don’t know why it’s doing that? For me, it’s over 46 minutes long on iTunes.
I love the pmaCAST! I’ve been tunning in for about 3 weeks now. Your podcast is one of the best and most diverse podcast I’ve ever listened to.
Thank you for letting us stream the Timid Tiger song before waiting for this big file to download/wait for it till the end. I am loving them, can’t wait to learn more about this EP you’re keeping so secret!
Hmm, by the way, does that Passion Pit song sound familiar?
LCD Soundsystem – All My Friends, anyone?
not showing up on itunes…………im getting the shakes…..
@Dillon: omg I was just thinking that!!
Crazy. It sounds just like it (not the music, but the way he sings the song)!
@AaronnoraA: I know same here, so I just downloaded it (right click, save link as…) and it played perfectly on iTunes.
Maybe iTunes is being super slow today.
<3<3<3

Fantastic! I love your podcast PMA!
Fuck My Life!! The cops busted my ass. Underage Drinking..

I really love those kind of playlist because I listen to music depending on my mood
(happy, depressed, in love, etc.)
I LOVE THIS PLAYLIST

Nope! I think that’s the beauty of it. haha
You know you can divide your podcasts by chapter right?
It make it like a super podcast that you can skip through from song to song, really neat feature.
Yeah lol :-.P and Anonymous, how????! is it only with downloaded podcasts or can I do it if I just download them
People keep telling me that, but it sounds so complicated..

im addicted to fml, but I came across a site called fwhyme . com and I think it’s much better than fml. and also fwhyme is american. I rather support an american site. and they also don’t start all their articles with “today” so u can post things that happened yesterday
