Austin, TX "Consumed" Beautiful Supermachines on MySpace Beautiful Supermachines on The Hype Machine
Filed under: Concerts and Tours When one hears the name Beautiful Supermachines it may bring certain imagery to mind. Whether it be the futuristic urban dystopia from the movie Metropolis or that new cell phone you just purchased, the complexity of these devices and their intricate gears, chips or mother board mirror the woven melodies and lyrics brought to you by David Williams of Beautiful Supermachines. The Austin local spoke with me recently about past SxSW Festivals, fears of [...]
by Joel Chaffee 'Every time you saw something you wanted / You set it on fire.' So sings David Williams, behind what sounds like a band called the Beautiful Supermachines . The line above, from 'Consumed,' is indicative of the album on a whole. It is funny but desperate; ambitious to hold time, and to almost lose control. And most importantly, it is catchy . The horns on 'Consumed' swell into a wonderful, loopy New Year's party, limping around the [...]

We receive an incredible number of emails each week from bands or PR firms hoping for air time for their clients on TVD. And I say 'air time' because the blogs are doing the work that radio has performed in the past, that is introducing the readers/listeners to new music because, let's face it, terrestrial radio is a Top 40 Garbage Heap at this point in the game. So, the emails pour in and we do our best to listen to each and every one of them. Often times if a band's up our alley, they end up [...]
Given the volume of music available for consideration on One Track Mind, we invariably have to pass on a lot of tasty morsels. In a desire to share even more great, free music with you, the Sunday Sampler will offer a handful of tracks without the usual critical and biographical write-up. Less talk, more tunes: Junius "Letters from Saint Angelica" from Mayrtyrdom of a Catastrophist (released on 11/10) [ download ] [...]
Needless to say, not having time to update the blog for a few weeks has allowed the inbox to grow to Rosie O'Donnell-sized proportions. There's no conceivable way I can get it all caught up in a reasonable amount of time with more coming in each day, so I'll just take the wuss way out and offer it up in mixtape form. I will hold back a couple that I'd like to feature in the coming days, so if you're a cyclops keep an eye out for that. If not a cyclops, keep both eyes out for it. [...]
Photo Credit Ricardo B. Brazziell/ American Statesman David Williams is apparently a face amongst the Austin landscape. I pledge to educate the European masses eager for musical subsistence. The debut album from Beautiful Supermachines employs sophisticated whining and years of production knowledge in creating an unpretentious classic.

If my understanding of roman numerals is correct, this week's Friday Mixtape marks out 80th edition! 80... that's a big number!
