Check this out.
I mean, I have framed Radiohead silkscreen posters in my closet that my wife Eliza won’t let me hang in our apartment, but it’s so fucking cool that we got Jermaine Roberts to design one for Immediate Media Presents South By Stereogum. There’ll be a limited run of 200, signed and numbered, on sale at our day party.
I finally figured out the merch situation. We’ll have guys and girlie tees, in all the sizes you’ll need. They’re black. I, however, will be wearing a blue shirt. And one of ‘em actually says SCOTT on the back. I know that’s incredibly lame, but I’m supposed to meet up with like 1,000 of you at SXSW, and this is a really easy, retarded way for you to find me and say hi. “Hi, Scott Stereogum!” “Hey Stereogum, Aloha was awesome. I am going to purchase their latest LP at a record store!” “Hi Scott — stop posting photos of Fall Out Boy’s cock.” Etc…
Yes, we have beer! Probably a drink ticket system and we’ll hand you a couple on your way in. And free BBQ from John Mueller’s.
Remember when we asked you about wristbands? Turns out we’re getting hooked up with them (plus access to a chauffeured car) all made possible by Yaris, who has an excellent itinerary builder for you. Every day they’ll be videotaping me, Jim, Jed, and Aziz, our blogger friends, and any of you people we run into. Then they’ll turn it into a behind-the-scenes video diary. As long as they edit out everyone except Aziz, it should be pretty fucking entertaining. We’ll blog daily, fill you in on the day’s activity, and let you know which bands we’re seeing.
But which bands ARE we seeing? Like everyone else heading to Austin next week, I’ve been RSVPing like crazy and still don’t know exactly where I’ll be (except Thursday noon-5pm, obvs).
Advice?
Top 5 bands Stereogum MUST check out at SXSW. POST IN THE COMMENTS.
And yes, the invite list is completely closed, we’re away ABOVE capacity. But you could stop by and hang around; you never know if we’ll just start letting people in…

just guesses … since i’ve never seen any of these live but
The Ark, the Annie with Wolfmother show, the Nickel Creek-Dresden Dolls-Fiery Furnaces show, Billy Bragg, Metric-Magic Numbers show, Nine Black Alps-Charlatans-Longcut
look worthy
stuff it’s probably safe to avoid
The Plimsouls, Andy Dick, Lynrd Skynrd, Jacks Mannequin with Thursday, Dashboard Confessional
Check out The Village Green out of Portland. They’ll also be playing at Sasquatch this year.
the fall of troy.
unless they aren’t playing it.
then you should anyway.
if you listen to their records, realize they made them when they were 18 and 20, and then think about how unbelievably fucking absurd they’re going to get/already are, you will become a believer.

Have fun being chauffered about town in your exciting youth-oriented-product-placement-mobile. I’m so tired of you clowns coming down, getting everything for free, and clogging our streets in a sad attempt to find the “authentic” (let me give you a tip – a breakfast taco is eggs, meat, and cheese in a tortilla – they ALL TASTE THE SAME.)
Also, see Roky and Tia Carrera and Palaxy Tracks in between all the free Sparks and cocaine and brisket and oral sex.
American Princes
&
Pattern is Movement
two must-sees.
I haven’t been to SXSW before. Is it taboo to eat the brisket during the oral sex? Because that sounds promising.

I’ve had to cancel my trip to Austin, and I have a pass to SXSG. While I would be extremely jealous to see someone else go in my place, it doesnt seem right to hold onto this lovely piece of plastic.
Send me a line!

SOFT LIVE IN AUSTIN
Friday, March 17, Midnight
@ Spiros Patio 611 Red River St., Austin, TX
it is pretty shocking that they dont even have a us label.
voxtrot
i hesitate to even post this… because i have kept this band a secret for over six months now. well not really but it feels like it cause no one in the us knows about them yet. i ran ten blocks to the paradiso in amsterdam the second i read they were playing. alas, it was the next night and we had to fly out. but anyway. go see them. “made up love song #43″ is maybe the best song you’ve ever heard. or close to it.
also at sxsw: boy least likely to, corinne bailey rae, david mead, magnet….
