The Handsome Family opened for Vic Chesnutt recently. Wow. The sucking sounds are still echoing in Schuba's. The Timbuk 3 of alt country, except with less content. Nice voices, though (we were right up front and got the stage mix, which was pretty good). And to be fair, this wasn't a crowd that wanted to see anyone other than Chesnutt, and the HF knew it and handled it humorously. (Among themselves. We could hear the off-mic stuff pretty well.) Nonetheless, that isn't enough for me. Bob

Hi all, Continued thanks for all those P2ers sharing SXSW stories with "the less fortunate." Sounds like a great time was had by all. The Tom Waits' clips have also been much appreciated. He's been one of my favorites for over 20yrs. Sounds like he's gotten even better with age. During the Oscars, I was surprised to hear that Tom and his wife, Kathleen, worked on the music for "Bunny," an animated feature. Yet another reason to spend more money! Kate
Re: SXSW
Hey everyone-- Well, I hate weaseldom as much as the next person (nearly had to kill some businessy-looking chick who elbowed her way in front of me at a show and, by way of explanation or excuse, flashed a goddamn BADGE at me). But oh my god, what a great time. Dan Bentele said it best--if you show up at stuff early, you'll have little or no trouble getting in to see what you want, and you'll have a blast. It is WORTH IT, ten times over. Let me see if I can remember what I did. Difficult, since I left my Master Schedule in Kari's car... Wednesday: 1. Jim Roll, backed by the Silos. Freaking incredible, great songs. 2. Brief and kinda boring time standing around in the Austin Music hall--saw a few songs by David Garza (very Lenny Kravitz, imo), Kelly Willis, Bruce Robison, Monte Warden. 3. Ted Roddy. Wow, extremely cool. And the Broken Spoke is definitely the scene of scenes. Bill S. wanted to stay for Cornell Hurd, but others in the party (including myself) were nearly unconscious from tiredness, and we went back to the Austin Motel for some Z's. Thursday: 1. Cherilyn's BBQ. Whole lot of fun. Saw a bunch of great bands, including the Meat Purveyors, the Ex-Husbands, Langford with Kelly Hogan, the Fencecutters, Jim Roll, the list goes on. Lots of dogs in attendance. Kickass blackberry cobbler made by Jo Walston. 2. Robbie Fulks at Cheapo Records. What an outstanding performance, and Robbie played all my requests! Every time I see him, I think he's outdone himself, but it gets better and better. 3. Kim Richey. As usual, I hate the instrumentation on her songs (get that damn synthesizer outta here!), but I really think she's a songwriting genius. And her voice is s good live. 4. Abortive attempt to get in to see Wanda Jackson. Yeah right, "badges only" by that late in the evening. This turned out to be serendipity, because instead we saw... 5. The Tigerlilies. Everything Purcell has said is true. They're excellent, a truly stunning guitar-pop band. They're also some of the nicest guys I've had the privilege of meeting. I really wish more people had been there to witness their set. Friday: 1. Bloodshot BBQ. Saw Devil In A Woodpile, The Blacks (wow, love 'em!!!), and my goddess Neko Case. 2. Left BBQ temporarily to see Hillbilly Idol at Cheapo. Definitely the right decision. I love these guys, and the vibe was terrific. 3. Returned to Bloodshot BBQ just as the Meat Purveyors were striking their first note. Whew, made it! They ruled. Also pogoed a little to the Waco Brothers--sheer chaos in the tent. 4. Heard a little of Dale Watson as I shopped in Under the Sun. Bought a waycool new-old-stock cowboy hat which allowed folks to spot me from afar for the remainder of SxSW. 5. Hung out at Maggie Mae's the rest of the night and caught Split Lip Rayfield (who seemed startled, yet really jazzed, to be playing to a completely PACKED house), the Hicks (UGH! horrible!), Slobberbone (you know how I adore them) and Pumpskully (). 6. Had a bigass party outside our motel room, featuring a really fun late-night bluegrass jam by members of Split Lip Rayfield, Slobberbone and Hillbilly Idol. Remarkably, nobody in the motel complained. Lots of reckless behavior, hope the photos come out well. Got to bed at 6 am. Ouch. Saturday: 1. Wandered in and out of the Checkered Past BBQ most of the day. Sunshine, ahhh! Caught *great* sets by Lonesome Bob, the Old Joe Clarks, Hadacol, my hero Paul Burch, Dave Schramm + friends (damn, what a guitarist he is...a new fave of mine), and the Silos. Also saw Souled American and the Flatirons but was not really that impressed with either. 2. Caught a couple of songs by Wayne Hancock before heading to... 3. The Bloodshot showcase! More great music from the Meat Purveyors, the Blacks, Neko Case, and the Waco Bros. Didn't think much of Trailer Bride (hmmm, seems like that woman was picking up a new instrument for each tune, and upon closer examination, they were all tuned open to different keys so she could just lay bars on them and "music" would play). Missed the Grievous Angels because a bunch of us went across the street to see the Sadies. I like both, so it was six of one, half dozen of the other. 4. Fell into coma. To all of you who I saw there, it was GREAT to hang out with you. A special hello to Dan Bentele, whom I'd been wanting to meet for some time; to Cherry Lou and the Meat Pervs for the excellent party; to Smilin' Jim, our wristband enabler (I owe you a batch of cookies or something, my friend); to the Hockeysticks, whom I miss terribly since they moved away; and to my awesome roommates (did everyone see Marie's Most Excellent Cowboy Shirt?).

Re: SXSW
What I remember, by Wynn Harris What, where, who??? Don who? Only kidding. Hanging out with a bunch of P2ers for the first time, really, and having a blast. For a bunch of twang geeks, we sure know how to have a good freakin' time! Oh and then there was the music. Hadacol, Jim Roll, Continental Drifters, Chip Robinson solo, Paul Burch, Silos, jesus, there was so much and so little time... CISCO, Cisco, Cisco, Beaver Nelson, Hazledine - boy that ND party rocked, Alejandro at the Taco Express, the Yard Dog rules! Ted Roddy at the Broken Spoke, the Doolittle party with Say ZUZU and Todd Thibaud, the Blueground Undergrass show at Maggie Mae's. dissapointments: Freakwater, bad room and Reckless Kelly at the AMA -was Steve Earle there? I don't think so. However, my all time favorite gig was the Brooders. They rule It's good to see Randy and Michael back on stage. BTW, smilin' Jim, you rock too and throw a GREAT party!

Re: SXSW Report
Ok here's a few things I saw yesterday: Cherilyn's P2 BBQ - The rain held out through the afternoon so the bands played. I saw Cherilyn's roomie Scott play (Bruce Springsteen cover of I'm On Fire), The Meat Purveyors (Bruce cover of You Can Look But You Better Not Touch) and the Ex Husbands (Bruce cover of Cadillac Ranch with special "Cher-i-lyn's Ranch" lyrics at the end). The Meat Purveyors also did their great new song about Chad Hamilton called "I'm More Man Than you'll ever be, and More Woman than you'll ever get" about Chad and Cherry Lou's... uh relationship. I am hoping it will make it on the next TMP cd. The brisket and tater salad was good and the Pearl was foamy, the airplanes made regular passes over the house (they will be gone next year after the airport moves). I met a few P2ers that I knew by rep only like Meshel, Amy H. and CK. Saw Yates and Deborah, Slim, Chad H., Matt Cook, Bill Silvers, Jamie S., Jayne, and quite a few others I am forgetting right now. Went to a Sony party at Stubbs and saw a little of Old Pike, Bare Jr. I had only seen Bare Jr. do acoustic in stores before so they were a little louder and rocked the house. Went across the street to the Doolittle party to find that the Bottle Rockets weren't going to make the party but ate and watched Todd Thibaud for three good pop songs. Back to Stubbs to catch Houndog, the David Hidalgo side project. Good greasy, bluesy sounds. Wayne Hancock started his showcase outside an hour early so we got to see about thirty minutes of that. Next to Cheapo Discs as the rain starts to see Robbie Fulks. Despite sound problems Robbie was in good form, "Burn Together, Tears only Run one way",God Isn't Real", a new song that he said he just recorded with Kelly Willis called "Parallel Bars" where he sang both parts of the duet. He also brought up a songwriting friend, Dallas Wayne? to do a couple of songs. Well I better get to work, more later. Jerald

Yeah, as I think I mentioned, I've decided to forego the wristband (half the time you don't get in anyhow!) and spend my time at "unofficial" shows. I don't know the lineup at each joint, but if you figure in --Threadgill's (lineup just posted by Slim), --Ego's (around the corner from Threadgill's and just North of the Austin Motel on South Congress), --The Little Longhorn (way north on Burnet), --The Carousel (1 block north of 51st just as you cross over I35, right at the airport), PLUS all the instores, all the parties, all the special shows in the afternoons at the Spoke and elsewhere-- A bunch of these joints have organized themselves loosely and are having "South By So What" shows like the one I mentioned on Thursday at the Carousel. Anyway, it all adds up to plenty of action without the weaseldom *or* the wristband... I'll only have two nights anyhow, so this is already 10 times as much music as I can possibly take in.

Re: SXSW query: Broken Spoke??
And meanwhie, besides the Saturday SXSW line-up there, culminating with Walser-Hancock-Watson, there's the "now I know I'm really in town" Wednesday night line-up at the Broken Spoke--which includes James Hand, Charlie Burton and the Texas 2 Steppers, Ted Roddy's Tearjoint Troubadors, and Cordell Hurd. This sounds like the probable best best for that Wednesday night start-- though I don't know who've they got lined up between speeches at those Austin Music Awards... If you're inclined, Mr. Jeff Beck will also be at La Zona Rosa! And yeah--Lullaby for the Working Class,, Mount Pilot and (is this right?) Jim Roll at Liberty Lunch...or Jo Carol Pierce and Fred Eaglesmith at the Hole in the Wall... on it goes--but I bet I get to the Broken Spoke for at least the later part of Wednesday. Barry M.
Re: SXSW query: Broken Spoke??
>Does Broken Spoke do wristband admission during SXSW, or are they >independent of the whole thing? I have hazy and contradictory >memories on this one > >--junior Although your memories are probably hazy from the drink, the Spoke's SXSW role is usually confusing. For many years they remained independent and booked their regulars during the big week. Then they relented and gave up Thursdays. Then, when the conference began programming music on Wednesdays the Spoke gave 'em that night too. But until last year Friday and Saturday were not SXSW nights. (Chris Wall traditionally played Friday) Last year Friday was given over and just yesterday Mr. White of the Spoke called me to say that Jimmie Dale Gilmore had cancelled his Saturday show (rumor had it that Dave Alvin was going to join him). So he gave the night to SXSW. This is the history of SXSW encroachment upon the last of the true Texas dance halls. This time of year is a real drag, what with everybody in town up in arms over wrist band price, music awards, showcase slots and bitching and moaning about how the conference has hopelessly lost touch with everything. I would boycott except that there's so much free food and beer. And all the women I meet leave after three days.

Re: sxsw criticisms
I've thoroughly enjoyed this thread. While having a hard time not siding with the populist musician voices of Nancy, Kip, and poor, grumpy Erin (who, like Cheryl & Wall almost always makes me laugh), it's also helpful to hear the pragmatic, weasel's-eye view from Jim C. et al. Aesthetics meets the real world, and is it ever a mixed bag. When my band was young, we bought the dream and spent dough we did not have made from gigs and temp jobs that rot your brain to play the Cactus Cafe at SXSW. We thought the miraculous might happen. Debt when you're middle-class is a livable ball and chain; debt when you're poor is a cement overcoat. The fact is, my band was good; we really had something. What we lacked was savvy: we had no industry connections and no knowledge of how to get them. We couldn't afford to stay, so we flew in that afternoon, stayed up all night, flew out the next morning. We played, we caught Jimmy LaFave at the Hole In the Wall, we went home. Occasionally now, people are impressed to see SXSW on our resumes. End of story. Ross Whitwam says Garth Brooks' music is what bugs him, Garth's ambitiousness doesn't offend him at all. I say the two are inseparable. Without ambition, ain't nobody gonna ever hear your music. Aesthetically speaking, though, it is one dicey bedfellow, and it is the rare event when the pure pleasure of music and the push to get it heard aren't actually in conflict. In Garth's case, the music is sufficiently subsumed by his ambition to the point where it is impossible for me to find any enjoyment in his songs (although, in all fairness, I have found his cover of Billy Joel's "Shameless" to be a powerful emetic and therefore somewhat useful.) SXSW, NEA, and the rest pay the musicians jacksquat while others profit. Nothing can make this an O.K. thing for the musicians. For the listeners, it's an incredible opportunity to hear live music. For the business, it's business as usual. Kelly
