SXSW
The 2008 SXSW lineup has been announced. I was going to go anyway, no doubt – this will be my fourth or fifth year going, and there’s always someone to see. This year’s lineup is basically as good as any other – there’s just so much @ SXSW that it’s never really all about one band or another.
For me, this year brings excitement from British Sea Power, Michael Brook, REM (I suppose, we’ll see), Dolly Parton, Mark Kozelek, Yo La Tango, Annie, F**k Buttons, Asobe Seksu, Film School, Half Japanese, The Meatmen, Holy F**k, Akron/Family, Boys in a Band, She and Him, Torche.
Also exciting: My friends band Sunburned Hand of the Man, and two bands from my record label The Archenemy Record Company – Freezepop and Neptune.
There’s some good stuff going on in interactive too! It’s shaping up to be a quality week.
