SXSW tuneage and ATX goodness
Oh SXSW… we meet again. You, delectably raucous and mad. Me, grimy sweat cementing my already-sticky bangs to my forehead and glowing with a giant musical smile on my face. You always offer too much fun and so little time, and the rare opportunity to glimpse our musical heroes trekking the dusty downtown streets alongside us on their way to the next big show. You bring us the best of the best, an ever-evolving (and impossible to follow) lineup of bleeding-edgers and lauded mainstays. We’re glad you’re back… we’re just steadying ourselves for your onslaught of awesome.
Excited about all of this SXSW hullabaloo? Want to delve into our carefully curated playlist of bands you may not have heard before but will be rocking your world come two weeks from now? Coming in from out of town (or are a hardy ATXer yourself) and need a little advice on the best Austin has to offer? Yes, yes… and YES!
Go no further. Scope our excellent Spotify playlist of exciting artists playing the fest this year AND pin your little heart away with our SXSW + ATX Pinterest board. You’re welcome.

Frosty Holiday Mixup Listening
We listen to music. A lot. I mean, that’s kind of our JOB. So we couldn’t resist putting together a collection of songs that put us in the Christmas/Hannukah/Kwanzaa/et al mood. It’s chock full of cheer and sparkly fun, with a healthy dose of holiday cynicism. You’ll heart it, we’re sure.
So take off that Vince Guaraldi Charlie Brown Christmas tape and slap on this smooth-groovin’ Spotify playlist of semi-holiday tuneage and CRANK IT. Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa and even stodgy Aunt Pat will dig the holiday radness by the likes of The Flaming Lips, Gary Glitter, The Swell Season, Galaxie 500, Eels, Animal Collective, Ra Ra Riot, The Kinks and more.
We christen it “Frosty Holiday Mixup”! (psst… click one one of the links to open the playlist in Spotify)
