Sasquatch Day 2 - Rogue Wave on
Artists mentioned:They're a lot more country-pop-ish than I expected. Of course my interest in catching a minute of them was spurred by their Lemony Snicket connection.

Two acts to go tonight
Artists mentioned:So I finally just saw Modest Mouse for the first time. Finally! They entered the stage after a minute long siren effect. I think a minute was way overboard, but I'd left my camera battery in the press area, so it gave me time to run and get it. The...(read full post)

SXSW Day 2
Artists mentioned:(NERD=Highlight amongst many highlights of Day 2) I woke up on Day Two asking what time it was the next day (definitely not morning). 1:45 was the reply. "Shit!

SXSW Day 1
Artists mentioned:Welcome to day one! Why has it taken me this long to relive SXSW? Well, it hasn't really. I wrote this out a bit ago, but surprise, surprise - it's insanely long.

If I Made the Music Video: Happiness edition
Artists mentioned:Last Sunday, I posted the MP3 of Metronomy's remix of Goldfrapp's "Happiness" featuring verses by Michael from the Teenagers. This is pretty much part 2 of that post.
