We love this idea and can not wait for the Singularity, when we will all have replaceable parts. In fact, with the way that we’ve been treating our livers, it’s really our only hope for living out the rest of the decade. And when we do finally replace our dilapidated and crumbling husks of bodies with new pieces to make us faster better stronger whatever, we really hope that the Black and White Years’ sophomore album, Patterns, will provide the OR room/assembly line soundtrack. The new video featuring the always awesome animation of Eric Power, makes us really happy and really sad all at once, kind of like thunderstorms, animal shelters, and twitter. In other words, conflicted! Check out the video for “Cold” below, though, and you’ll have a chance to catch the Black and White Years again here in town when they play a HAAM benefit at Antone’s on April 28.

Jack Wilson splits his time between the comfy, southern warmth of Austin and the cooler, sopping city that is Seattle. While he’s in Seattle, he’s backed by the Wife Stealers, and elsewhere, it’s pretty much just him. On his latest self-titled, Wilson zig-zags between full-on Americana rock, and solemn, poetic lullabies about places and people of timeless impact. He opens his album with the sound of footfalls on loose gravel — a sound that is immediately evocative of distance and mindful wandering — a more than appropriate prelude to an album that looks to transport the listener to the image of Americana locked away in Wilson’s head.

Typically, having a band to back you up — even just having other musicians present — is a sure fire way to (1) make singer/songwriters tighten-up, and (2) fill out those acoustic ballads that were originally composed in the solitude of a bedroom. (Wilson even sings “anyone sounds strong in a living room all alone,” on the track “Dogwood Days”.) The Wife Stealers and other various musicians who played with Wilson leave their mark on more raucous songs, and lend the aesthetic to more alt-country tendencies than they do folk rock. Right from the get-go “Valhalla”, the album opener, allows Wilson to show off a little narrative-riffing before an expansive chorus explodes through the cones with bittersweet Ryan Adams flare. Other tracks follow a similar format disposed of on the opener and other rockers on the record by counterpointing guitar and heavy rhythm section work against spacious and evocative choruses. “The Cure” stands out by a quick country shuffle and complimentary horns over which Wilson pleads, “Oh I swear I’m not the same, not the same.”

While these tunes might wow a crowd during performance, they’re nothing more than your standard country/folk rock that you might hear on a Wednesday night out at the Hole in the Wall. It’s even hard to listen to the album closer, “The Truth” without the context of a live setting. As a progressive, country anthem, it’s the perfect set closer, but on record, the ‘good will to all men’ message struggles to fit. In the full band setting, Wilson can’t quite find his footing or his strength and those treads heard in opening start to sound like steps of caution.

The most rewarding moments on this album are found in Wilson’s indulgences. “Red Feather” features Wilson’s mellow, mid-range humming over beautiful finger-picking — a perfect transport to Wilson’s vision of Americana: humble, homely, with earthy character, and probably the exact feeling that the wanderer had as he walked along the gravel in the album’s beginning. “Clean”, a ‘shaking the drug habit’ tune sung in major harmony is a winner that does a lot with simple melody and pushy fiddle solos. “Dogwood Days” paints a clever scene of two lovers trying to get along and help each other tending to the house during the holidays. It’s a direct looking glass into Wilson’s psyche, a place where his strongest abilities — lyricism and sentimentality — are set to shine: “I know home’s just a word and a dream and a picture and you and me.” Wilson has the distinct ability to write about intangibles and he does so beautifully on the breathtaking “I’ll Do the Same” and “Fell Inside.”

Trying to fit a folk musician into a bar band isn’t easy. Neither is trying to put country rock into a folk album, but Wilson finds a neutrality among his influences that allows him to pull it off. He is a studied songwriter that has some really good tunes and his debut solo work sets the bar high for his first individual effort outside of the confines of the Wife Stealers. Through moments of bar rockers about druggies and relationships and lucid, melancholy gems about the same, Jack Wilson — and his wanderer — find solid ground

Yesterday afternoon the Statesman reported that blues pianist, Antone’s fixture, and Austin legend Pinetop Perkins passed away at the age of 97. Perkins reportedly died at home in his sleep due to cardiac arrest. The pianist was a pillar of Austin since moving here with the aid and support of Clifford Antone in 2003, and garnered three Grammys, including a Lifetime Achievement Award. Perkins was an icon of a trifecta of Delta, Chicago and Austin blues, having played with nearly every blues legend of note from Sonny Boy Williamson to Muddy Waters. In a statement posted on the artist’s website, B.B. King called Perkins “one of the last great Mississippi bluesmen,” while Susan Antone notes appropriately, “He was a member of our family, not just the Antone’s family, but the Austin family.” Arrangements are still pending. Watch a video of Pinetop and Clifford Antone playing the Broken Spoke back in 2005 below:

Well how ’bout that? Don’t know about y’all, but yesterday certainly was pretty awesome on our end. What with Jack White and Dave Grohl running around town, there’s bound to be some awesome stuff that pops up, no? Looking over our lists for today, though, seems the best bets are away from the downtown fray, which has become increasingly the case over the past few years. In fact, you could probably do much worse than spending your day bouncing from the East Side between Pitchfork’s show at the East Side Drive-In and Dig for Fire’s lineup at the French Legation Museum. And then for the evening, why not hit up the $5 Night of Rage III on up the road at Baby Blue Studios? That should pretty much have us covered for the the next twelve hours or so through into tomorrow, but we have our favorites listed below for your consideration. What’s been the best you’ve come across so far? Sharon Van Etten and Jessica Lea Mayfield were both stunning and highly recommended, and Country Mice provided some much needed heavy lifting for our first day. Keep up the good work, guys; there’s still lots of music to plow through.

If you survived the pre-partying (and you better have as we’re just getting started!), then you’ll be out there flooding the streets and back alleys today as we officially kick off this little catastrophe we call SXSW. Wednesday Dayshows are generally the best to catch the bands you really want to see if they are playing, as not all the yahoos have yet arrived in town. Below, we’ve thrown down our top choices of shows that are going on, though we recommend also cherrypicking a few of your must sees and knocking them out today if you can. Among our top picks for Wednesday are (of course) the Midgetmen’s annual SXSW Jump Start party, The Austinist’s teaming with the Windish Agency, Forcefield and Terrorbird’s show at Red 7, and Fat Possum, who are taking over Club DeVille. In fact, the venues look pretty much like our typical Red River weekend rounds, with the exception of the local off-the-grid, but sure to please showcase by those kids over at Skanky Possum. C’mon and jump, you know you wanna.

And here we are again, this ol’ rodeo. Some of us have already got almost a week of SXSW under our sleeves, others are just gearing up for the best part, which is obviously music. This year, the official SXSW showcases extended into Tuesday, because they can, but doesn’t really kick off until Wednesday. Needless to say, though, there are some awesome events going to kick off the music side of the fest, and below our are picks to help you kick off the week right. From this point on, expect awesome music, free booze, and hipsters run amuck in our fair city. We’re not gonna bother with the biggest or most ridiculously branded and sponsored shows, or the official badge crap - we’re just looking for a good time and don’t want to stand in stupid lines. Sorry Fader Fort. So today we kick things off with the amazing and sure to get you sweating Ice Cream Man party at Club DeVille, an awesome showcase at Red 7 that will blow your face off, and the 12th incarnation of everybody’s favorite SXSW starter, the Art Disaster Party at Beauty Bar.

This Wednesday, Austin Powell and I will be hosting the official release party for The Austin Chronicle Music Anthology, being held at Antone’s with all proceeds benefiting HAAM. The lineup spans over three decades of Austin music, with reunions, special guests, and one-time-only collaborations (see below). Yeah, this is gonna be one helluva night.

So what is this book, you say? Well first off, it’s a thing with pages that you can actually hold in your hands and flip through, kind of like an iPad or Kindle except heavier, and only holds a single volume’s worth of content. I know, weird. But it’s also the product of over 3 years of work on the part of Powell and myself, digging through every issue and piece of music writing in the Austin Chronicle archives. Online, the Chronicle currently only extends back to the late Nineties, one of the reasons Powell and I were interested in surfacing some of the amazing history contained in the paper’s pages as it celebrates its 30th anniversary.

Inside the book is thirty years of music coverage and photography of the Austin music scene, a history that largely has not been officially written. While the legacies of the Armadillo and Stevie Ray Vaughan are inextricably (and rightly) associated with what Austin music is, there is so much history and so many more “Austin Sounds” that have made our hometown here the Live Music Capital of the World. The narratives we have inherited of Seventies progressive country and Eighties Sixth Street blues only scratch the surface, and don’t even begin to explain the chaos of the Big Boys or Butthole Surfers, Daniel Johnston or Trance Syndicate or even the past decade’s rise of bands like Okkervil River, Spoon, Octopus Project, Explosions in the Sky, or Trail of Dead. The Austin Chronicle Music Anthology can’t pretend to be that kind of comprehensive history, but we hope that it can re-ignite the conversation of what is the legacy of Austin music, where is it headed, and how can we better preserve and celebrate it inclusively.

For more information on the book, join us on Facebook, and come out tomorrow and pick up a copy at Antone’s and see an amazing lineup showcasing some of the history represented in the book’s pages. General admission tickets are only $10, or you can purchase entry plus a softcover copy of the book for only $25, with all proceeds benefiting HAAM. Doors open at 7:00pm with music starting at 7:30 with the reunion of Standing Waves. See the full lineup below, buy tickets here, and hope to see you tomorrow evening! More info here.

Lineup for The Austin Chronicle Music Anthology book release party:

Standing Waves re-union
Kathy McCarty
The Skunks re-union
The Gourds
Poi Twang (a special collaboration with David Garza, Abra Moore and members of Poi Dog Pondering)
The Crack Pipes
and a special appearance by Daniel Johnston

You can also purchase copies of the book from the University of Texas Press or at Book People, Waterloo Records, and other fine local retailers.

We really don’t thrown around words like absurd casually - really only when the situation truly calls for it, or with Charlie Sheen. So when we say that the lineup for the Austin Music People launch party and first annual benefit is absurd, you know it’s good. Here’s the deal: Back when the non-profit was announced in October, we thought this would be the kind of group that could actually get stuff done for music in Austin. But we just figured that was politics and money stuff - you know, boring. We didn’t anticipate that it would putting on amazing events like this. So to help raise money for AMP, there will be a huge show on Thursday March 31, at the new ACL Live at the Moody Theater (naturally) to help drive membership. Tickets are on sale as of 10am this morning for two prices (including a cheap $20 one!): There’s the $20 Community Membership including ticket to the floor and balcony and membership that includes invites to exclusive AMP events, special discounts and giveaways, or the special $250 Professional Membership, which is a ticket to mezzanine seating as well as a pre-show VIP Happy Hour reception with AMP’s Board and professional members. Plus, AMP membership includes regular professional networking gatherings, project opportunities, key updates, invites to AMP events, and special discounts and giveaways. So yeah yeah yeah, all that i is good stuff, but why are you REALLY going? Because of this lineup below:

Ghostland Observatory
Blue October
Court Yard Hounds
Alejandro Escovedo
Brownout!
Bavu Blakes
The Coveters
Bright Light Social Hour

We of course really couldn’t care less if Blue October is on here, but the rest of this lineup is so full of win it almost makes sitting through one of their sets reasonable. Get ye to your virtual ticket outlet.

Things get dark and heavy on the Gary’s second EP, El Camino. With these six songs, recorded by Steve Albini at Electrical Audio in mid 2010, it sounds like the weight of the world is pressing down on the band. Coming hot on the heels of their criminally overlooked debut full length, Logan, El Camino burns slowly with most songs feeling more like “Hurricane Sunrise” than “QSB” (both Logan standouts). And make no mistake; sounding like the product of a long haul Austin-to-Chicago roadtrip is not a bad thing. The Gary have consistently excelled at making songs for the darkest hour of the night, when the last drops of beer have run dry and it’s time to go home and face our realities. El Camino is no exception.

Nowhere in their songbook is the the Gary more gravefaced than on opener “Here In The Last Days” and “Awhile”; to say bassist Dave Norwood sounds exasperated and resigned would be an understatement. With a rage simmering just under the skin, Norwood and drummer Paul Warner make “Here In The Last Days” into a pounding dirge. Over the heavy thud of Warner’s drums, Norwood wistfully intones that a sweet shadow is already falling across him here in the last days. Spurred ahead by Warner’s drumming, the Gary stomp straight to the brink, ready to fall off the edge into the abyss. And when Norwood sings that he’s “in the space between words/the all consuming chasm” before claiming that he’ll “be with you in a while” on “Awhile”, these aren’t the words of a man behind a cash register asking a waiting patron for a little patience. These are the words of a man burning the candle at both ends as things fray and falter. Whatever is eating the Gary from the inside is driving them deeper into the darkness.

Even on the Gary’s brightest songs, there’s always been an edge of darkness creeping in. Norwood, at his most optimistic sounding, is always singing from the corner of the local dive. El Camino’s highlight and brightest moment, “Rope”, sounds like the entire band piled into the corner booth and joined Norwood with the intent of fighting back — after a couple pitchers of beer. Trey Pool’s rolling guitar lines twist out of the speakers and dance across Texas’ sawdust covered bar floors as Norwood defiantly claims “the only way to go is up now!” All hope is clearly not lost and on “Expiration 2” – a followup of sorts to “Expiration” from the Chub EP – The Gary sound like they are up, slightly bleary eyed, and ready to face the dawn. The Gary aren’t close to their expiration date; more like they’re just ripening and hitting their stride as one of Austin’s great rock bands.

We love the Old Settler’s Fest every year. Even when it gets a little too Austin-hippie jam band for us, there are rarely events that are as chilled out and friendly and that compile such top notch talent in a relatively small area. So we are kind of excited that this year, in addition to the expected roots all-stars like Richard Thompson, Sam Bush, Tim O’Brien, and Jim Lauderdale, there is also a pretty nice dose of artists we would typically consider more in the indie-oriented realm. Most notably is the Friday night headliner of the Avett Brothers, which indicates that either the Old Settler’s Fest has finally caught on, or that the North Carolina trio has been supplanted by their British tribute act in the form of those Mumford lads and are now down to lower tier festivals. We kid, we kid - this is a win-win in our books! Also interesting to note are Langhorne Slim and Elliot Brood, and of course a ton of great local artists ranging from the young Ruby Jane to Jimmie Dale Gilmore. The Fest and camping will be going on out at Camp Ben McCulloch and the Salt Lick Pavilion from Thursday, April 14 to Sunday, April 17, 2011, and for tickets and more info, check out their website.
