Very happy about Asobi Seksu, Explosions in the Sky and SHAD my favorite new canuck hip hopper.

nice. have they been playing again or is this a one-off?

I won't gunk this up with the near complete list - just give my workplace some traffic instead.

http://www.austin360.com/music/content/ ... dlist.html

WAX FANG is playing it. Keep an eye on them.

SUPERDRAG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy. Shit.

I get to cross another band off my ''I need to see live before I kick it'' list.

Martina Topley Bird, Blu (hoping it's Bleu just mispelled), Dredg, Rival Schools, The Life And Times ...

This is shaping up to be a really good edition of the fest.

pretty cool engine that sorts SXSW bands by a bunch of tags and attributes.

http://research.sun.com:8080/SXSWArtist ... w_hot.html

The SXSW people just updated the band list again.

it's up at 1800+. A good chunk of those bands listed i've never heard of. Can't wait to see the schedules for them day parties. They usually don't disappoint.

Did a little blog post 'bout it.

How do you find out who's playing when and with whom, and how do you go about getting tickets? It's not likely I'm going to be able to make it, but there's definitely some bands I would want to see.

lookin forward to another stupid week

haha the wrens are playing

someone go see rolo tomassi for me?

Yeah, I let this spring up on me way too fast. Maybe next year.

Full schedule online:

The HUGE mp3 torrent is up:

http://sites.google.com/site/sxsw2009torrent/

Just RSVPd and got confirmed for this day party that's going to be about 2,953 kinds of incredible.

Those who've paid attention here know I'm as big a booster of The Hard Lessons as there is, and for good reason. Colin P, Kit, Dov and Sketch know what's up.

Paul, Kit, Nick, whoever... get on this shit.

who are The Hard Lessons?

An pop-rock/soul band from Detroit who are one of the best club-level live acts you could ever hope to see.

http://www.myspace.com/thehardlessons

done and done.

i'm still debating what to do with slow/dynamite during this week. we're eschewing the official shit, once again, but i know we're prob gonna hop on something, somewhere.
or, you know, just set up in the middle of the street and start playing at some random time.

A damn comprehensive list of unofficial day and night side parties.

http://www.austin360.com/news/content/m ... wside.html

SLIGHT chance I make it out. Election is March 10th. Bro really wants to me to come. If we win I might get a wild hair.

Hell. Yes.

All the rock and booze you can handle, the best city in America and Phil's cooking on Sunday (if not other days).

Why is this a question?
