SXSW 2008 Coverage on a Budget: 763 Reviews

Drunks hitting pans with their dicks. PAUL FORD at The Morning News takes
one for the team. While I don’t know exactly how his habit of 6 word
‘twittering” (now a verb apparently) aides humanity, Mr. Ford has taken the
HUGE trouble of listening to 48 continuous hours of music from 763 of the
acts appearing this week at the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival in
Austin, Texas. He’s saved us and himself from even further torture by
making each and every one of his reviews 6 words long, providing us with
gems like “Soft pink vagina frosted jazz cupcakes” to describe a tune by
Abra Moore and the shudder inducing yet intriguing “Turn away, Coldplay’s
raping Maroon 5.” This list made me more likely to listen to the bad
songs…which is really what SXSW is all about, no?

CMJ Oct 16-Oct 20

I was going avoid this yearly ritual this year and focus on building this blog. As it starts tomorrow I have decide to participate in a limited capacity. However I have no intention on spending one thin dime. My 1st stumbling block has been over come due to the fine people at flavorpill have been gracious enough to sponsor Did You Hear That’s badge for the event. Next mission is finding a way to get M.I.A to sit on my lap. (Pictures later).

      Do You Remember Rock & Roll?

      If not, let the Alabama Shakes remind you. They’re selling out shows across the country and their debut album isn’t even out for another couple months. I managed to see these blues-infused soul grabbers play a jam packed show at the Indy in San Francisco last night. Best overpriced scalped ticket I ever bought! Don’t [...]

      Love Letter from the West Coast

      Oh, hey there, East Coast! Looks like you had a bit of an earthquake, huh? Don’t worry, I’m not gonna razz you about it. You’re ill-equipped for the tremors. A big quake would be way more catastrophic there than it would be here. You’re right to be a little jumpy about it. Well, I’m no [...]

      Did You Hear That: Adele “21″ a brief review

      From the first beat of “Rolling in the Deep,” the first track on Adele’s new album, “21”, it is clear that even at such a young age (all of 22 now), singer/songwriter Adele continues to be a force stronger than she may know. As “21” dips into the style of the country South with a [...]

      So Sayeth Pam: The Raveonettes “Forget That You’re Young”

      I like a young American band that makes vintage-sounding reverbalicious melodies. Specifically if those bands are Crystal Stilts, Vivian Girls or Dum Dum Girls. Call me a nationalist but I just happen to prefer their take on fuzz pop to that of their Danish predecessors, the Raveonettes. Which is not to say I dislike the [...]
