SXSW Review: Vampire Weekend, Haim, Small Black @ Stubb’s
March 17, 2013
[slideshow gallery_id=”10″] So we’ve reached the end of our SXSW experience. And I do mean experience. SXSW is like no other festival that we’ve covered, primarily because it’s not really a festival. South by Southwest is an industry event that takes the city of Austin hostage for the week and every hole-in-the-wall that can serve
SXSW Review: Flaming Lips, Divine Fits, Jim James @ Auditorium Shores
March 16, 2013
[slideshow gallery_id=”9″] On Friday, we headed over to Auditorium Shores, a beautiful, spacious outdoor venue, to catch three much buzzed about SXSW acts: The Divine Fits, Jim James, and the Flaming Lips. This open air venue was chosen to provide a free opportunity for local Austinites who didn’t shell out hundreds of dollars for wristbands
SXSW Review: Kendrick Lamar, Pusha T, Bun B @ Austin Music Hall
March 16, 2013
[slideshow gallery_id=”8″] We return with coverage of South by Southwest with the spotlight on Friday’s events. We hit a bit of a hiccup on Thursday, breaking our cardinal rule of ‘park thy butt at one venue and call it a night.’ We started at the ACL Live to check out the soul review, jumped to
SXSW Review: Natalie Maines, Iron and Wine, Dawes @ ACL Live
March 14, 2013
[slideshow gallery_id=”7″] We opened our week-long South by Southwest coverage by hitting up one of Austin’s quintessential hole-in-the-wall bars, The Belmont, to witness music’s next generation amongst the sweaty masses. Last night, we went to the opposite end of the spectrum, visiting the new ACL Live at Moody’s Theatre comfortably tucked into the W Hotel.

Can Justin Timberlake Resurrect MySpace?
March 2, 2013
For anyone who ventured onto the online wasteland that was MySpace in 2012, it seemed impossible to imagine that the social networking platform was once the most popular in the world. It seems crazier still that Rupert Murdoch paid an incredible $580 million for it in 2005, and it even surpassed Google as America’s most

Three More Years to See Eric Clapton Live, Says He’ll Stop Touring at 70
February 28, 2013
Eric Clapton has had it with life on the road. The legendary guitarist says he’ll quit touring when he turns 70, which gives fans just three years to catch the 67-year-old before he packs it in. Fortunately there will be plenty of chances to do that, as Clapton will hit the road next month to
Johnny Marr Performs Smiths’ ‘How Soon is Now?’ with Stones Ronnie Wood
February 28, 2013
Let’s get this out of the way right now. Johnny Marr is no Morrissey. Singing just isn’t his strong suit, but the man can still wield an ax like he could during his heyday in the 80s. At the NME Awards last night, Johnny Marr grabbed the Rolling Stone’s Ronnie Wood to help him out
