SXSW 2008

With SXSW one day away, what better day to start a blog? Although, the blog won't be dedicated solely to music, a good portion of the writing here likely will.

In years past, I've volunteered for a music or even a platinum badge, but more recently I've had to settle for spending the dough for a wristband. Frustrating on two levels: one) spending more money while two) decreasing my access to events. At any rate, after a cursory glance through the schedule, here's a list of things that are at list in the mix:

Karl Blau, Madeline, Peter and the Wolf, Saturday Looks Good to Me, Okkervil River feat. Roky Erickson, Bowerbirds, The Kills, The Dodos, Kimya Dawson, The Blow, Jens Lekman, Phosphorescent, Bodies of Water, Yo La Tengo, Evangelicals, Bon Iver, Mark Kozelek, Love As Laughter, Basia Bulat, Shout Out Louds, Vampire Weekend, My Brightest Diamond, She and Him, Destroyer, Castanets, M. Ward, The Teeth, Dr. Dog, The Pillows, Shearwater
