We’re rolling with a camera crew at this year’s fest, capturing our favorite performances, interviewing bands, and getting advice from festival goers on successfully navigating South By Southwest 2008. Yaris/Free Yr Radio kindly lent us wheels to get around. Here Stereogum’s Amrit Singh talks to folks about useless wristbands, death metal cuisine, and Vampire Weekend. Check the cameo from freestyle wordsmith Kosha Dillz, who wants to know how SXSW is like a matzoh ball. (Congrats KD, you win a tag.)

This video can has loading?
amrit is just how i imagined him…yes i spend my time imagining what the wrtiers at stereogum are like in person. scott is totally different than what i thought.
This is cool, but you guys reallllly need to export it at a lower bitrate. I’m on a really, really fast dsl connection and it’s taking forever to load.
…but the quality!
no, it’s a good point. we’ll see what we can do to balance quality and file size better.
ok, if anyone’s still reading this thread, we did some work with our open-source video encoder (ffmpeg) to get a fair balance of quality and file size. videos should be about 1/3 as large from now on…there’s still no equivalent of LAME’s -aps.
WHY isn’t andrew wk reporting about this?
exactly how many arm curls did amrit do before each interview?
everyone looks buff standing next to a chicken.
I’m pretty sure I know the dude in the chicken suit…
