PBJ, PBR, SXSW n BBJ

PBJ

Peter Bjorn and John are really knocking my socks off. And John Richards‘ socks. And indie radio’s. They’re in Austin right now and I caught a live set of theirs off KEXP yesterday, and they sounded great, despite the bassist playing a guitar because his bass got stolen the night before. This song plays in my head for 4-8 hours, at least once a week:

PBR

I’m probably going to drink some this weekend.

SXSW

It’s happening now, and KEXP has been covering it on location, bringing some super live sets and interviews to the airwaves (and uh, through WiFi airwaves, to my laptop). Here is a really cool look [NYT video] at how foreign governments are sponsoring their indie bands to come to Austin to be part of South by Southwest festival.

BBJ

Kevin and I are going to see Bobby Bare Jr. tomorrow at the Crocodile. What did you think it meant?
