You know what I'm talking about, the SXSW pull. I've got that itch to see all the amazing music that has hit our town this week! I know I've got two young kids, but I'm too tough to let a little thing like that stop me. No sirree, the kids won't cramp my style. Okay, maybe just a bit, but that's okay. I'll cut them some slack cause they're cute.
I love SXSW. Even if I don't have a wristband, even if I don't get to jump into the thick of things with with ultra-hip folks. That's okay. Maybe I'm just a sucker for all things music, but I love the fact that this week, I get to hear all kinds of live bands playing on the radio. I love that just about everywhere you care to go, there is some sort of live music playing. And while most of it may be run of the mill pop/rock stuff that I'll listen to, enjoy, and forget, there's always the chance that I'll see a really cool show that will stick with me for a long time. Like seeing the Sadies last year, or hearing Spoon and Echo and the Bunnymen on the same bill the year before.... or even the all- Sweden showcase from a few years back.
And though I generally detest having too much technology in my life, I'm very happy that several people went to all the trouble to gather information on all the free day parties into one place. I've found a couple websites that have done all the work for me that I've had to do myself in the past. That makes my life just a wee bit easier, which makes me smile.
So, get out there and hear some music!!
