March 23, 2011 I had the pleasure of sitting down with City And Colour's Dallas Green last week at SXSW. We talked about the upcoming City And Colour album, Little Hell, as well as the state of the music industry, record stores, and even old school wrestling.
March 22, 2011 More photos from the last few days of SXSW 2011. Donald Glover, star of NBC's Community and who handled hosting duties at the mtvU Woodie Awards earlier in the week, killed the crowd with his blazing set at Red 7 Patio under his Childish Gambino persona. Community co-star Danny Pudi was there in support of his friend.
March 19, 2011 Another batch of photos from SXSW in Austin, TX, featuring 10 Years and more cool bands. The highlight of Friday night was City And Colour's performance at Stubb's. Runner up goes to Filter's set at Austin Music Hall. Not because it was great. More because it was such a train wreck that it was actually entertaining. More can be found after the jump.
March 18, 2011 I had a chance to sit down with the boys from Taddy Porter at SXSW today. It's always fun talking to them. Topics covered included touring pranks, their business strategy, which Ninja Turtle each of them would be, and who's the hottest chick in rock

A live-action re-imagination of Nintendo 8-bit hero Super Mario as an angsty, mushroom-eating, down-on-his-luck plumber was a big hit this week at the South by Southwest film festival in Austin, Texas.

March 17, 2011 Duff McKagan hosted a SXSW panel at the Austin Convention Center today discussing finances. Not exactly rock & roll, but with the way the music industry is these days, you would be smart to listen.
March 17, 2011 Last night I was able to attend the 2011 mtvU Woodie Awards, celebrating the best in music as voted by college kids, while exploring Austin, TX during SXSW. It was my first awards show experience and it was cool to see how the actual production was done. The ceremony was hosted by Community star Donald Glover and was kicked off by none other than the Foo Fighters.
March 16, 2011 After some travel woes that I'm still working out, I have finally made it to SXSW in Austin, TX. The music portion runs from March 15-20 with a ton of bands playing all over town. There are also a lot of panels being held at the Austin Convention Center and the first one I attended was about how bands trying to make it are F'd. However, there is hope according to punk and industrial veteran Martin Atkins.
March 10, 2011 Kids used to hearing the familiar jingles of their local ice cream truck may be in for a surprise. Jack White has revealed a mobile version of his Third Man Record Store that will make its first appearance at SXSW next week.
