This is the 90s Movies Bracket Ray was talking about on the air this morning. To recap the discussion…the point was that there are a million brackets that pop up this time of year that have nothing to do with basketball. And once your real bracket goes south, these are so much fun.

We strongly encourage you to vote your conscience, but c’mon…how are you not going to vote for Clerks?
So during SXSW week, Jason Lytle came into the studio for a short visit on Chillville. The former frontman talked about what he has been doing since his Grandaddy days, and even played a couple of new tracks acoustically. Listen to the clips below to hear the interview and songs, and head to Mary’s Flickr for a few more photos.

What’s the time? It’s time to get Chill.
I said “what’s the time”? It’s time to get Chill.
It’s been weeks since the insanity passed, and we’re still recovering from the influx of tourists and musicians to our fair city. We interviewed some stellar artists, snapped thousands of photos, and are still going through all the material. Here are just a few shots of that crazy week… click the band name for more photos.
That gets you through Tuesday of SXSW; we’ll be posting the rest soon enough.
June in Austin is going to be rough on your sleep cycle, with summer entrenched and touring season in full swing. Seven big shows have already been announced for the month, and one we’re pretty darn excited about is St. Vincent. We caught a preview of a few tracks from her upcoming album, Actor, at her SXSW showcase, and are now impatiently awaiting the May 5th release date. And it definitely won’t hurt that Pattern Is Movement is supporting her on the tour. We first wrote about PIM when they were in town back in October, and can only reiterate that between St. Vincent’s rockin’ new material and their awesome live show, you don’t wanna miss either of them. They play the Mohawk, June 19.
Today I bring you the sounds of Jean-Benoit Dunckel, aka JB Dunckel, aka Darkel, aka half of the band Air. He has recently scored the soundtrack to a French comedy motion picture entitled, Cyprien, which is about a 35 year old virgin who stumbles upon a deodorant that causes women to lust after his body. Sounds pretty dumb and I wouldn’t expect too much from this film (or if it will even hit the U.S.). However, the soundtrack is pretty impressive and sounding pretty much like an Air album. Dunckel is no stranger to scoring a film, since it was the band Air that took on the music from Sofia Coppola’s The Virgin Suicides. On the Cyprien soundtrack, he does a nice job of blending electronic instrumental tracks with brand new songs with Dunckel’s ethereal voice. Today’s catch is entitled “Total Love Warrior Song”, and you can listen to a clip of it down below. Enjoy!
