Non-Baker's Dozen

Please know, dear visitor, if we had the words to say how much we're enjoying the following, we'd spend them.

Austinites

Murdocks - Playhouse Down mp3 - I've seen at least two different names for this song. I'll go with the one Vitriol's Ian Anderson graciously sent me today. The new EP, Roar, emits next week.

The Ugly Beats - The Light Comes On mp3 - I've been enjoying this group for awhile and am grateful to Paul Ford for alerting me to this song's availability at the SXSW artists site. See Paul's entertaining, insightful, and occasionally inaccurate (playful chide) six-word reviews of 763 SXSW artists here. I once thought I was obsessive/compulsive until I saw this Harper's associate editor's work. I'm a piker and a charlatan and many other kinds of semi-bootied.
