No commentary this week, but yes there is a theme and there is a reason for it. I just won't tell you what that reason is. MP3: City and Colour - "Sensible Heart" MP3: {{{SUNSET}}} - "Man's Heart Complaint" MP3: Slow Runner - "Trying To Put Your Heart Back Together" MP3: The [...]
Before we close the week with another fabulous Depeche Mode/ Jungle/ Trip Hop post from the Morbid one, I just wanted to say thanks to the faithful that check this site out to find some new music or at least check out the music they know. Remember, if you like it then buy it. If it sucks then let us know. What we are offering here is but a morsel of some of the best (un)discovered music on the planet in the past five decades. This particular collection over the next three Thursdays was generated while I was stuck [...]

I have a running list of songs that would go in the soundtrack of my life (does everybody do this?). When I hear one of these songs I'm transfixed to each beat, anxiously trying to file it in my memory, and find out what it describes about me so well. Point being, when I turned on Sunset's newest effort The Glowing City and "Zombies" came on, I knew it was one of those songs. The track opens the CD with a delicate blend of keys, clapping, belles and air bursts. It sets the stage for the rest of [...]
I promised myself last week that I was going to cut out fast food from my diet for the next 365 days. I arrived at the decision almost immediately following a delicious meal at Qdoba last week. Phoebe was there. I left the Mexican Grill feeling disappointed with myself for consuming a 1,000 calorie burrito, an order of chips with salsa, and two large sodas. I've only used my membership card eight times this year, which translates to a once-a-month savory splurge, but something about being that full of food which is so unhealthy made me [...]

Hello there fellow adventurers. I would like to recount some highlights of my weekend for you. Let's start with Friday. I had just worked the first 10 hour work day of my life (more of those coming next week, yuck) and dazedly returned home around 5:30. Dinner was served and provided me with my commentary for the evening. I won't get into it, but let's just say I had a stomach ache, and it was my own damn fault for A. having poor communication skills, and B. using way too much butter to fry [...]
To get the "inside scoop," as we professional reporters say, on the new Sunset album The Glowing City (which is due July 15th on Autobus Records ) I emailed Bill Baird asking him if he wouldn't mind talking about it with me. He agreed, and suggested we do the interview on Google Chat. Unsure of which emoticons most accurately reflected the professional aura of seriousness I maintain when conducting all my interviews, I was at first hesitant, but reluctantly assented. So late one night, after we had each returned home from work (and made a stop by [...]

{{{Sunset}}} Bright Blue Dreams (03.2008, Autobus) Verdict = America's New Beta Band The demise of The Beta Band was a tough one for me. The band's weird mix of hip hop beats and slow baked bizarre-pop was truly transcendent. The demise of Sound Team, however, wasn't that tough for me; probably because I never listened to them. I think I may have heard an MP3 once, but even now I don't really have a strong enough desire to look them up and describe the differences between them and bassist Bill Baird's new project {{{Sunset}}}. All I know is [...]
Die geschweiften Klammern um den Sonnenuntergang sind optional, geht auch ohne. Zwei neue Songs des neuen Albums der Psychopopfolk Band um Bill Baird (ehemals Sound Team) gibts via der MySpace Seite oder hier und die klingen gut. Reservierte Stimme, hüpfender Bass, etwas elektronische Verzierungen hier und da, nette Melodien, ausdehende Songführung, Repetitionen, knarzende Gitarren. Kurz, guter individueller Indierock irgendwo zwischen Beck, Syd Barett und der Beta Band. {{{Sunset}}} - Man's Heart Complaint MP3 {{{Sunset}}} - Moebius MP3 Website {{{Sunset}}} MySpace [...]
Release Date: 03.18.08 Bill Baird is a weird guy, but I think that's right where he wants to be. The last time I saw him he was leading a band nearly 12 people strong offstage in a chorus of yelps and howls, wearing a wide-brimmed cowboy hat in his experimental/folk project Sunset. Not much has changed since that night over a year ago, other than the cowboy hat, a little less folk and the addition of three braces on either side of the name (which are actually optional, thankfully). [...]
For many music fans in Austin and around the globe, the demise of Sound Team came at a time when most of our interest was beginning to peak. The band performed together for the last time at ACL 2007. From the ashes arises {{{Sunset}} , the most recent project from Bill Baird of Sound Team. The sounds of {{{Sunset}}} stray a bit from what you might be accustomed to from Sound Team, but the relationship is evident, while maintaining it's strength in quality songwriting.

{{Sunset}}} "man's heart complaint"
Dreams are nothing like albums. Between the time we put head to pillow and the time we wake up to start whatever monotony the day has in store, we completely submit our consciousness to the will of our imagination. Dreams are highly introspective, at least in my experience. Both people close to me and people that I thought I'd forgotten long ago run amuck in my subconscious; what little "plot" I can discern from them is usually related to the things that are stressful in my life. And what's more, you don't have a choice! You're asleep, and whatever dreams [...]
I have included in this post a few of the great acts currently playing around Austin. If you get a chance you should definately check them out. I think they all share a similarity in that every band is discernably different in their approach. I am considered new to this town, but already I have found some great entertainment that's not composed of mediocre covers of FM hits, appealing to the oakie crowd that shuffles into town every weekend (my apologies). It is going to be interesting to see how Austin evolves over [...]
