Here we are. Hours away from our flights, (for some reason we decided to take different planes and race to SXSW) we are gathered in our associate's studio combing over the SXSW schedule, plotting a week that will surely end in hearing loss, two cases of pink eye, several dozen broken pairs of sunglasses, and most likely a son who I will not become aware of until he seeks me out on his seventeenth birthday.
What?
Here is a loose idea of what we will be getting into over the next week (and when I say loose I mean "it wasn't even worth buying her that many drinks loose"):
Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs
The Ghost of a Sabertooth Tiger
Casiokids
City and Colour
Damion Jurado
T Bird and the Breaks
Innerpartysystem
The Limousines
G. Love
JBM
Great Lake Swimmers
Deer Tick
Cory Branan (playing three pay shows... worth it)
Tyler the Creator
Shit Horse
Omar Rodriguez Lopez Group
The Screaming Females
River City Extension
Friday night's Texas Battle League @ Fuze
Gold Panda
The Growlers
Kill it Kid
...
Running through all of the nights and all of the showcases started turning into abusive remixing of every artist's songs with aggressive Moog touches.
More will be added to this list. I'd do it now, but I need another Narragansett and it's my turn on the Drum synth.
AND YES, we realize that The Strokes and Bad Brains are playing. I'm not wasting my time getting to a club at doors, washing my mind with thoughts of all the better things I could be doing with my evening. We will gladly be leave the headroom open for you.
See you kids in the AM.
