Does anyone else get as excited as I do about making music playlists? I thoroughly enjoy the process of picking out tunes that I would want to hear for specific occasions, and I’m pretty good at it, if I do say so myself. I always have several going for different uses – a Dinner Mix, [Continue]
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]
Awww, are you sad yet? I’m probably one of the last bloggers to get my reviews out there, plus tickets for ACL Fest 2011 are going to be on sale next week, so surely that means that this year’s fest will be a distant memory soon enough. ACL Fest 2010, we’ll remember you for your [Continue]
This is it! The last preview for ACL fest, now only 2 weeks away. If you missed out on my recommendations for Friday and Saturday, you can click here and here to check that out. On with Sunday’s bands to see! SUNDAY, OCTOBER 10TH Ted Leo and the Pharmacists – 12:30 – 1:15 pm Start [Continue]
Congratulations (2010) I’m admittedly a little late to the party when it comes to reviewing MGMT‘s latest album, Congratulations, released back in April, but oh well. Now is as good a time as any to post a review since MGMT will be playing a long-awaited gig at Stubb’s this weekend, plus, I’m not at all [Continue]
How was everyone’s Memorial Day weekend? For someone on summer break, it kind of all runs together sometimes, but this weekend was especially nice for a lot of reasons. I hope yours was too. Well, on with the events of the week! Tuesday, June 1st La Roux Check out the British electro-dance duo at [Continue]
So, who knew I was MEGA-excited about seeing The Flaming Lips, especially seeing them two nights back-to-back?? I know, you’d have never guessed it! I’ve barely had time to let it sink in that I actually saw them twice in a row (and once from about 5 feet away) because of all the SXSW craziness, [Continue]
I’ll freely admit to the fact that I haven’t listened to any Stardeath and White Dwarfs other than the tracks they provided for The Flaming Lips‘ recent retake of Dark Side of the Moon, so seeing them at the Austin Music Hall and at the Big NX35 Saturday Show a couple of weeks ago was [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]
I uploaded a few Flip videos of the Flaming Lips NX35 show. Check them out! Review of all the shows, plus more pictures coming soon. Keep up with our daily SXSW happenings right here and on docubloggers.org. [Continue]
