This is the most overwhelming festival every year. Music is just half of it, and you can see how huge that is. Factor in all the parties going on during the day that aren't even listed as part of the official fest and it can seriously blow your mind. In one day last year I saw Wu-Tang, Mr. Lif, Blackaliscious, Spoon, and Echo & The Bunnymen. All for free. Not to mention seeing the Flaming Lips play in an alley. Good stuff.

There's a rumor floating around town that the Butthole Surfers might play a rooftop reunion show this year.

Hell's.

Yeah.

I always see the guy with the fucked up hair do always making comments. He looks like he's about 13. I wish he would shut the fuck up. I went on Phish tour 3 different years in Texas and everytime I left the state I had had a huge smile on my face. Texas should be its own country.

Moved to Austin in August and have been loving it. I'm looking forward to the free shows and festivities around the city during this weekend!

Even if you are not going to SXSW, keep an eye on their website. For the last 2 years, they have posted a music sampler in the form of a ZIP file. It gets Torrented and becomes EASY to download. Last year I ended up with something like 700 songs from 700 different bands (after deleating all the the ones tagged "Metal"). The are only 128kbps (smack anyone who calls that "CD Quality"), but a great way to checkout new tunes.

I don't know if it's official yet or not, but I think Ozomatli and Public Enemy are doing a free show together at Auditorium Shores on Friday. Ozomatli is for sure, but the Public Enemy show is not listed in the schedule yet, but Chuck D is on one of the panels so it makes sense.

If anyone hasn't heard them yet, Don Caballero from Pittsburgh is absolutely AMAZING!!! Intricate instrumental prog-rock that never stops. The drummer kicks ass and the layered melodies will have your head swimming! If you go to this festival CHECK THEM OUT. They're playing at Room 710 on Friday with Alabama Thunderpussy. You won't be sorry...
