Music
This is as much for my own reference as for yours. Below are artists whose albums I've decided to buy ASAP after reading Six Word Reviews of 763 SXSW MP3s and listening to a bunch of the standout tracks.
It's like I just got 90% of the benefit of staying for the Music part of SXSW, without any of the expense, crowds or liver damage -- awesome!
All but a couple are available on AmazonMP3, my go-to music source.
=====================
Uncle Monk (Tommy Ramone's bluegrass effort. Yeah, you read that right.) Purchased
United Steel Workers of Montreal
The Virgins '07
The Whip
Zac Brown Band
Creature (when available)
Darker My Love
DJ Rekha
Kid Congo and the Pink Monkey Birds
Le Loup
Paul Collins Beat
Peel
===========================
And that's only from listening to about 2/3 of the songs "worthy of five circles." There may be plenty more gold in there. I'm sure glad I'm not the poor sucker who had to listen to all 763 songs, though.
