Sansa Playground Slaughters SXSW

There are way too many parties to choose from in the madness we call SXSW but where could you have celebrated Danny Masterson's birthday, Hanson's only unofficial SXSW performance and rode a mechanical bull while listening to Neon Neon? Ahh yes...its The Sansa Playground!

While party goers sipped on free Redbull and SVEDKA, things got crazy with brilliant DJ sets, great live acts and a party you shouldn't have missed! There is always next year...

Last FM Take On SXSW With Band Aid

SXSW is always the biggest nightmare. You want to see all the bands you like but also discover new bands that you can fall in love with. How do you figure out what to see though???????

Enter Last FM's Band Aid. If you use Last FM (and if you don't...start!) then based on what you listen to, they've taken the time to inform you on what what new bands to see. Could it be any easier?!

All the information is at www.last.fm/group/SXSW+Music so you can find your schedule! Now get cracking...

SXSW Fever Begins With...Rachael Ray

I know it sounds like weirdo combination, but famous chefs can like good music too! There has been a lot of talk about the Rachael Ray hosted showcase in Austin and t be quite honest I think it *could* work. Honestly, who doesn't love the Food Network and secretly tunes in to 30 Minute Meals at LEAST twice a week.

The deal with the showcase is that its open to all badgeholders and will feature sets from Autovaughn, The Ravonettes, The Cringe, Scissors For Lefty, The Stills, and Holy *&%$. DJ Efren "Pedro" Ramirez from Napoleon Dynamite will be DJ-ing inside as well.

There is even drinks and food courtesy of Rachael Ray. If you are sick of BBQ you know where to go...

JAMC Figure Out MySpace

Old dogs are learning new tricks...

I should have known this would happen soon when I logged into MySpace and found a not-really-personalized message from William Reid, thanking me for being his "friend (kindof)." Looks as if the Jesus & Mary Chain are transitioning form luddites to well, people who update their MySpace page. They even have a status: "lo life icons," and a mood: "adored" (complete with big-toothed, idiot-smiling emoticon).

Check out 3 new demos from JAMC: "war on peace [demo]," "cookies [demo]," (also on William's page) and "boiling over [rough cut]". The last 2 tracks feature vocals from William, which is always a good thing. No offense, Jim. I can't tell you how bummed I was when William never sang on their last tour. Now he'll have to. Ha! I swear if I don't hear "Almost Gold" sung live before I die...

Jesus & Mary Chain new demos

They also added some new tour dates for March. Which makes a girl wonder... will JAMC be playing SXSW with their new tunes? Do they need to? Will they do it for fun? Or do they really need to do it? Discuss.

Mar 11 - Roundhouse - Camden, London
Mar 12 - Roundhouse - Camden, London

And, just sign in to see William's photo gallery. He's got that MySpace camera angle shit down. It's funny, it's creepy, it's slighty hot... again in that creepy way. Don't judge, man.

SXSW Night #1

And we're off! SXSW has kicked off to a great start...sort of. After my plane was delayed 3 hours and the amount of beers I had consumed before the flight started to seep in we were off. Had Peaches and Les Savvy Fav on our plane and the whole flight was hipster heaven.

Met up with the fiery red head aka LA Broad, drank some wine and caught up for a bit.

Today off to the hotel and Stubbs...more to come!

Filter Mini.. err, Good Music Guide Teaches the Arctic Monkeys

Since we're all Arctic Monkey-ing around. Ha, ha, ha. Ooh, good one, LA Broad. But seriously... I just purused my alma matter's website, and found out that Arctic Monkeys are on the cover of Filter's newest issue of the Good Music Guide (formerly Filter Mini... and in my opinion much more aptly titled). Filter kicks ass with this mini-mag, though. I almost like it more than the actual magazine.

Almost.

This issue's twist is that they've got a bunch of good, established (read: Grandfather) musicians and some of their contemporaries who've done the "second album thing" to give the lads some sage advice on what to do from here. Some of the prestigious line-up is The Futureheads, The Smiths, Supergrass, Oasis, Idlewild and Gang of Four. Plus there's some bitchin'/bitching reviews and guides to SXSW and Austin. Fun for all!

The time is upon us....

The 2 costal broads shall meet in the mecca in the middle of Texas (is it in the middle? Irrelevant), that is SXSW. So, if you see a smokin' rehead and a bombshell brunette talking in fake English accents, stumbling down 6th street, that's probably us. SOme come say 'ello.

I digress. The real point of this post is to give you all who are going to Austin the inside track to the party line. Because, what is SXSW if not a non-stop party? So, here are some party highlights for you all...

iheartcomix is the home to bands like Matt & Kim and Protokoll, who rule, but they're now branching out in their musical pallate. Last year they had ana AMAZING SXSW party @ Beauty Bar, which I missed because I was working, but several people got drunk and thrown out which means it was a winner. This year, they have amped up the parties to THREE this year, and they're ridiculous. This year there's more of a DJ/dance spin on things with heavy-hitters (hoppers?) Diplo, Kid Sister, A-Trak, Bonde Do Role as the main attractions.

RSVP for each party to the address on the flyers below:







OOF. THA. HOOK.

See you there, kiddies...
