In Pursue of Sunsets February 9, 2007

Still in the chase for all things Sunset Rubdown. Now if I’d been a teeny bopping popstar obsessed teenager, I would be far more adept and efficient at this. I was unfortunately bestowed a level headed pubescent head, so my inexperience at being an obsessive fan has lead me to a much delayed discovery of the Wolf Parade/Sunset Rubdown/ Whatever side projects the members have fansite forums.
The site itself is a good resource, although I did manage to convince the moderator that I was going to stalk Spencer Krug in all of 5 minutes there. But he did trust me with the Krug man’s alleged email address, which I will NOT be posting because I am NOT a stalker. Nor will I conspire with other stalkers. Unless I like you. We’ll see. Oh and put your bets in on whether I will get a reply. Autoreply bots also count.
So off the email went. I don’t remember what exactly was in it, but I’m sure the words “please”, “Australia” and “can’t live” were in there somewhere.
Before I go off on a tangent my main purpose was to share a few rare early Sunset Rubdown tracks, but when it was just Spencer Krug in the band. I do miss the energetic guitar accompaniments of the full band, but the solos are definitely worth a listen. Enjoy.
Swimming (Instrumental) – Still packs the energy of the album version
I’ll Believe in Anything (Acoustic) - Yes so you’ve heard the Wolf Parade version, highlights Krug’s piano work again. Beautiful
More tracks available from SnakesGotABlog. I highly recommend Snakes Got A Leg (acoustic), Give Up Your Ghost and We Got Broken Eyes.Do let me know if you’d like more tracks, so I can upload them later.
And a bonus
Spencer Krug Radio 3 Interview – Excellent interview on Radio CBC. Funny how someone so soft spoken can release all the wailing on record
Another bonus, also thanks to the guys at SnakesGotABlog, the cheesiest photo of Spencer Krug, available to the public yet.
Oy Vey. You can stop laughing now.
