Portugal. The Man: 2-3 p.m. Sunday, Budweiser

Norah Jones: 7-8 p.m. Sunday, Zync card

Deborah Sengupta Stith As the festival draws to a close now is the time to shell out for one of those $20 carafes of wine, stretch out and cold chill. Norah can help.

(MYSPACE.COM/EDWARDSHARPE)

Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes: 5-6 p.m. Sunday, Zync Card

Patrick Caldwell Like the Polyphonic Spree before them, Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros are high-concept, theatrical, a bit cultish, and there's an awful lot of them. They're also astonishing live -- you couldn't ask for a better festival band than this joyous powerpop orchestra.

(Dominick Mastrangelo)

The Morning Benders: 3-4 p.m. Sunday, Honda

Patrick Caldwell One of SXSW's breakout acts this year, and you don't even have to listen to excellent sophomore album "Big Echo" to become a fan. Just do yourself a favor and find their cover of "I Wan'na Be Like You" online. You'll be a convert in no time. Also recommended by Michael Corcoran.

(Lucy Hamblin)

White Rabbits: 12:30-1:15 p.m. Sunday, AMD

Patrick Caldwell Caustic, propulsive indie rock so thumping they need two drummers. The band's rapid-fire "Percussion Gun" may have been the best rock song of 2009.

(GAYNGS.NET)

Gayngs: 3-4 p.m. Sunday, American Express

Joe Gross Modernist soft rock, a little bit electronic, a little bit woozy. You will chill out, whether you want to or not.

The National: 7-8 p.m. Sunday, Honda

Patrick Caldwell There is no better way to usher in the dark night than Matt Berninger's trademark baritone, especially when it's singing songs off "High Violet," the National's third masterpiece in a row. Also recommended by Michael Corcoran

Richard Thompson: 7-8 p.m. Sunday, Clear

Joe Gross You can stay for the Eagles afterwards if you like, but this folk-rock vet's bracing guitar fireworks, dark lyrics and wise melodies make for the perfect festival capper. Also recommended by Michael Corcoran

Foals: 1:15-2 p.m. Sunday, Honda

Joe Gross Sometimes frantic, sometimes lyrical British rock. A different type of catharsis than Ted Leo, but a good follow-up.

(ASSOCIATED PRESS)

The Eagles: 8-10 p.m. Sunday, Budweiser

Patrick Caldwell Well, it's either the Eagles or going home, and really, you're already there and spent the money. You might as well see one of the most successful rock (?) bands of all time. Admit it: at least some small part of you wants to chill in the grass and "Take It Easy." Also recommended by Michael Corcoran

Band of Horses: 6-7 p.m. Sunday, Budweiser

Michael Corcoran "The Funeral" might be this Seattle/ South Carolina band's most soaring moment, but the most recent album "Infinite Arms" is full of great moments. Has KGSR ever sounded better than when it's playing "Laredo"? Also recommended by Joe Gross

Warpaint: 11:45 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Sunday, Zync Card

Michael Corcoran Is a cover of Bowie's "Ashes To Ashes" too much to hope for? Considering that this soothing art rock quartet is opening for Sonic Youth at La Zona Rosa the night before, you have to wonder how rested they'll be at this morning slot. Luckily their music is made for hangovers.

Shearwater: 11:45 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Sunday, Honda

Patrick Caldwell Jonathan Meiburg's been grabbing more ink and blog attention lately for his side project with Xiu Xiu's Jamie Stewart, but his main project remains one of Austin's smartest, most sweeping, most adventurous bands.

Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue: 4-5 p.m. Sunday, Clear

Michael Corcoran So "Treme" wasn't quite "The Wire" with good food, but Shorty got his name out there on the HBO show. His funky rock sound should destroy in the former "gospel tent."

Flaming Lips: 6-7 p.m. Sunday, AMD

Patrick Caldwell It's a little sad the Flaming Lips aren't doing the "Dark Side of the Moon" reprise they did at Bonnaroo, but it's hard to be too disappointed when the consolation prize is sure to be a confetti-strewn blast. Also recommended by Deborah Sengupta Stith
