Hey Mike, thanks for this tip. I may have to finally torrent something. XM's The Verge channel covered it last year and yes, there were a ton of new artists, some of which were worth listening to! (They had veterans Naked Raygun (!) there last year.) SXSW is one of the better excuses to go and visit Austin. It is about more than music though; it also covers the technology and culture behind music. Just for larfs, you have to check out (if you haven't seen it already) this train-wreck of an interview with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg by a self absorbed and smitten interviewer. It's like watching a tipsy mom hitting on her teenage son's friend. http://tinyurl.com/awjpvl ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
