Last year, I started a new holiday tradition, one truly for the ages. Born out of apathy for Top Whatever end-of-year lists, I decided that it wasn’t really the Austin Girl Music Guide style to pretend like I’d listened to every album that came out in a given year carefully enough to actually rate them [Continue]
Maybe you haven’t heard from my and Docubloggers’ incessant social media spamming, but our SXSW Special is ready and we’d like for you to watch it! In the Docubloggers tradition, we’re bringing it to you on the web in a 3-part series. Watch Part 1 here Watch Part 2 here Watch Part 3 here The [Continue]
Because I was working during SXSW, I didn’t make it to quite as many showcases as I would have liked. Still, I saw quite a few bands and attended a bunch of parties during the week and I thought the easiest way to handle reviewing everything would be in time order. I’ll be dividing the [Continue]
(Hey, since it’s my website, I gave myself top billing.) YAY! I’m really happy to finally announce that Austin Girl Music Guide is going to be working with Sean of Docubloggers, sponsored by local cable music channel ME-TV, to provide locally-focused coverage for a SXSW television special! As Sean explains in the video, we’re [Continue]
I’m going with “Wake Me Up Before You Go Go” by Wham! This one’s going out to you, Seanningham…and it’s not just because George Michael looks so pretty in the video. It’s because you put the boom boom into my heart and you make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day. Happy Valentine’s Day! [Continue]
I was working on a mighty grump, in spite of the midday Jimmy John’s and bourbon. We had earlier made the decision to skip Day 3 of the ACL Festival 2009 because of the mud/sewage situation and were settled in on the couch with AGMG’s laptop patched into the TV. It was quite fortuitous that [Continue]
“That’s sure a lot of tags, Pa…“ As many of you readers know, Austin Girl Music Guide’s tagline is Reviews for Regular People (new readers check out my “About This Blog” page to learn more!). I love music and the main goal of this blog is making music accessible. I want to share the music [Continue]
Hey there, dedicated reader! I’m pretty darn excited about my new blog layout and the fantastic logo work by Seanningham! It’s been a long time coming for my poor neglected website and I’m really happy with how it turned out. Everything’s the same, except it’s all easier to read and to access. Twitter feed is [Continue]
If you’ve ever been to a concert in Austin, you might know that Austin crowds have a certain…reputation. When The Knux shouted at us during the ACL festival, they unknowingly summed it up right there (even if they were just as much to blame for their show’s issues). Other than metal shows (of which [Continue]
If you haven’t seen my ACL in 10 video yet, here it is! Hope you enjoy. This was filmed with a Flip Ultra HD camera, and again, thanks to Seanningham for working our shaky footage into a cool memoir of the 2009 festival. [Continue]
