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]
Yep, Saturday was so jam-packed full of action that it gets its very own recap. And with this, we’ve come to the end of my SXSW recaps – and only 5 days after the fest ended! But don’t worry, the Docubloggers/AGMG/ME-TV SXSW Special is still coming… 1:30 pm – Rachael Ray’s Feedback Party at Stubb’s [Continue]
Welcome to part 2 of my SXSW review/recap! I’ll be covering Thursday and Friday of the music fest. Most of these videos are courtesy of other people, including the concert video-taker extraordinaire @rideincircles. Thursday, March 18th 6:30 pm – Levi’s/FADER Fort The Levi’s/FADER Fort was our first stop after a long [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]
Just last Wednesday (seriously? It feels like a million years ago…), I got to meet Curtis, Jack, and A.J. from the Austin buzz band Bright Light Social Hour. They are all super-nice guys who seem genuinely grateful for all the attention they’re getting in Austin. It was extra tricky interviewing a huge band like [Continue]

I put that in quotations because it’s hard to say that a performance is stripped down if it involves horns, but no matter - when we saw piece after piece of gear being hauled up the [Continue]
Alright, so now that the hard work of SXSW partying has ended, it’s time to move on to the self-mandated work of blogging about the experience. Hey, if I don’t blog about what I did/saw/drank/ate during the completely insane past two weeks, then what would dozens of people bored out of their minds at work [Continue]
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of meeting the members of the Austin band Quiet Company. When we told their manager Paul that we could really only accommodate a stripped-down performance, we had no idea what to expect when he said that they would work something out. From the second the giant L O V E [Continue]
Alright folks, this is it…the last of my SXSW Obsession posts! So, I was going to go through the work of finding all the party posters, the RSVP websites, etc, etc, for this post, but then I realized something. There are a hundred websites collecting that information already, who have been doing it for weeks [Continue]
When I got the assignment from Spinner to interview Little Black Dress, a band from Dallas, I’d never heard of them before. A few days later, when I started to do my research for the interview, I googled lead singer Toby Pipes‘ name. I had no idea what I would find – so imagine my [Continue]
