SXSW is here again. I always promise myself I'll find more time to listen, pay attention to the music. But then too many things are going on and there's no time. Finally listened to the NPR preview show and here are a few songs from there. I'll listen to the Austin 100 next, and I'm sure I'll find a bunch more...

It's been a crazy, busy year. Managed to do Firefly, for 2 days instead of all 4, and it passed without writing anything up. (Headliners were 21 Pilots and Muse. Best shows other than them were 30 Seconds to Mars, Judah and the Lion, and Missio) New Albums from Arcade Fire, The National, The Killers, St. Vincent, and a number more have meant a plethora of excellent listening that I have done alarmingly inconsistently. Here are some songs from these favorites that have my ear right now.





Creature Comfort - Arcade Fire
Chemistry - Arcade Fire
Good God Damn - Arcade Fire
Put Your Money on Me - Arcade Fire
Turtleneck - The National
Wonderful Wonderful - The Killers
Rut - The Killers
Run for Cover - The Killers
Masseduction - St. Vincent
New York - St. Vincent
Fear the Future - St. Vincent
