…just thought this was a cool video and song that will probably be forgotten in the near future.  The guy who posted this on youtube apparently makes/edits videos.  Here are a few of his videos.  I’m guessing he is from Austin because most of the bands he works with tend to be local/former local bands.

Trunk of My Car by Volcano, I’m Still Excited – a former Austin band(who I assume are now defunct).  In a weird way, the first guy’s voice has a little bit of an awkward Chet Baker quality to it.  I really appreciate that.

Handful of Billions by Sound Team – this one is edited to clips from the movie “Network”.  Of course Sound Team is excellent but the now defunct Austin band with the spectacular rise and fall.  I was really sad to see them break up and fear they may too slip into obscurity.  I had several unofficial recordings of theirs through a friend of a friend of a friend and their demos and unreleased stuff were even better than their rather good recordings.  It’s a shame to see that output gone although the members have mostly all rejoined in various projects in other bands around Austin(most notably Bill’s {{Sunset}} project).

Chet Baker – You Don’t Know What Love Is – okay, I couldn’t resist a little vocal Chet Baker video since I mentioned it above.  His voice has a very sad quality to it – very smooth but dangerously vulnerable.  I guess it easily follows that he was one of the more heartbreaking(if only because he lived through the addictions) cases of a jazz great who succumbed to an out of control drug addiction.  Baker lived a HARD life because of it…but back in 1956, he had it all – the horn, the voice, the looks, the sound.
