So I first wrote about this band almost a year ago to the day, freaking out that they were unsigned. Then I did some more freaking out. Then I tried to see them at SXSW, but they were running uber late and I was caught up in a Lykke Li fiasco (aren’t I always?) and […]

If you guys remember (of course you don’t), this was a band I stumbled upon at SXSW and was pleasantly surprised. They just released a new album and this is the first single. Still liking what I’m hearing. This band was started by former Okkervil River member Will Sheff. Weird that I’m not an OR […]

So I wrote about this band after seeing them at SXSW. They were great and I became obsessed with trying to find their song “She’s Expensive” online to download. It is still nowhere to be found. I’ll probably have to be a goody two shoes and wait til the album is released on June […]

My iPod is full. All 80 gigs. And the culprit is this huge SXSW playlist. I downloaded a torrent that had a song from (almost) every artist playing SXSW. Obviously theres a lot of crap in there to sift through. I finally did the sifting. And found a few gems in the process. This was […]

The London Souls sounds like they’re from another place and time. A time when music sounded goooood. Last night, my friend Steve told me to check out this band. He did so after complementing a couple of other artists I had already posted. He’s smart I actually did check them out and like what […]

1. The NME Awards are coming to America! The Grammys must be shaking in their boots. Go here and you can vote and read all about it…
2. This is a 6 word review of ALL of the tracks posted on the SXSW website by official artists. So funny and so informative. Check it out!

Here’s everything I didn’t get to cover on the ol’ Treo:
- I did get to see R.E.M. They played pretty much all new stuff. Wasn’t spectacular, but wasn’t terrible. Other shows I didn’t get to cover: The Stills (their new singer is terrible) and Chromeo (lots of fun)
- My photocopy passport did end up working […]

12:10 am - Phantom Planet rules (seriously, don’t judge til you’ve seen them live) and Spinto Band drools.
10:25 pm - The sound guy at The Wave just majorly f’d up Low vs. Diamond’s set. Luckily they saved it. Nice job boys.
9:10 pm - Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong sound very british. That’s all […]

6:25 pm - Yael Naim is so charming and has such a great voice. So great that you don’t care when she’s singing in another language.
6:10 pm - The line for Santogold was suuuuper long. So we left. Then we took a pedicab 1 block. We’ve reached a new low here at sxsw.
5:35 pm - […]

1:40 am - N.E.R.D. has a lot of people on stage. And I just got my second wind. Maybe I need to go back and find that party train
10:50 pm - There’s a party train on 6th street complete with laptop beats. Woooo!
10:30 pm - “Electric Feel” is the shit and will be […]
