I plan on being naughty in Austin, so I'll need all the blessings I can get.

I hope there's no other bands I desperately want to see playing on the 17th.

be sure to add that extra naughtiness for me, since i won't be able to make it.

i'm bummed. i want to meet the texas crew.

So how long are non-Austinites going to be in town for? I get in around noon on 3/14 and leave the afternoon of 3/20.

i already told you that my king-sized can fit 2-3 wimmins + me.

i'm taking the week off for mongering.

you'll be sick of me.

i predict i won't be using my hotel much.

hope that bostoner stomach of yours can handle tex-mex.

we'll be living on 85 cent breakfast tacos, i predict.

i've decided i'm bringing this with me.

Are any Austin-ites going to shows?

Is it on the radio? I live too far away.

brewing dat beer in anticipation

i'd like to but

a - i've already seen them (and they were awesome)

b - i REALLY need to see the boy least likely to

That was in L.A., right? I ended up hiding out in the shadows for that one...

What did you think of the show?

understood. you know my obsession with hot chip. they're supposed to be coming to la soon, i'm excited to see them again.

serena maneesh should be good as well.

i should take a quick trip to south korea before this and make a few clones of myself.

I HATE ALL OF YOU!

Powder Burns, the first record of all new Twilight Singers material since 2003's Blackberry Belle, will be released worldwide May 16, 2006, with a transatlantic tour to follow immediately following release.

In anticipation of this release, the band will perform at the 2006 SXSW in Austin, Texas on Thursday and Friday, March 16 and 17.

Rumors of a warm up show prior to SXSW in Los Angeles are currently unfounded....

The band remains Greg Dulli, Scott Ford and Bobby MacIntyre, with the addition of Dave Rosser on lead guitar and Scott Bennett on keys and vocals.

Birmingham, Alabama native, Rosser, is a long time friend of the band who has appeared on Blackberry Belle, Amber Headlights and Powder Burns.

Scott Bennett is the musical director for Brian Wilson. Nuff said...

The shows schedule is now up on the SXSW website.

Anybody gonna download the 700+ mp3s?

I still have most of the mp3s I downloaded from last year.

Damn, where am I gonna find the time to meet Obnerians? You punks better be at some of the shows I'm at! And, I expect to have phone numbers for all of you.

Sheesh, will I be able to survive?

hey, there's the daylight hours

and the late-night hours

You boys better be up late then. And available during the daytime.

I downloaded a few from bands that seemed interesting.





I'll be available any time of the day as long as I get about 6 hours rest.
