Austin 360 Writer Hates Austinites

4 comments

Okay so maybe that headline is a little harsh, but you’ve got to read this Austin 360 article by Michael Corcoran.  Michael apparently thinks SXSW is being ruined by all you locals who just want to go to free parties, see some good bands and aren’t part of the “industry”.  Thems fightin’ words if you ask me!  It’s hard to tell if this is intended as a piece of satire just to mess with your head or if he’s really upset.  Regardless, check it out and give him a piece of your “tatooed daycare worker” mind.  Thanks to Mike from Sonic Itch for the tip.

SXSW Recaps

As you eagerly await our recap of a few things SXSW (we promise we’ll keep it brief), why not head over to some other super sites with tons more information than we plan on having.  Our friends Ultra8201 have some great shots of Kanye along with a ton of other coverage.  Sonic Itch has cool video of Dan Aurbach at The Parish.  Gorilla Vs. Bear already has some of his fancy polaroids up.  Austinist has a nice news and photos section as well.  New York Times even tells us how much stuff costs and who the hell pays for it.  Check back later for our top bands of the week that was SXSW.

New Tunes from Art Brut

Leave a comment

artArt Brut is one of those unassuming bands who you aren’t quite sure whether to trust, as they seem to be toying with you the entire time.  Just listening to the delivery of singer Eddie Argos makes you question his genuineness in the face of the music world. Regardless, the band has loads to offer, especially in the fierceness of the rest of the music.  RCRDLBL has the preview of a new track off their album Art Brut vs. Satan, so go there now.

Joaquin Phoenix Works With Diddy

6 comments

In a break from new music posts, here’s a bit of tasty news from one of our favorite actors making the all too baffling leap into music.  Some of you may have already seen the ridiculous video of Joaquin Phoenix rapping/falling on stage, but you may not have known that Phoenix plans to bring Sean “Diddy” Combs on board to produce his album.  You may also not know that Casey Affleck (Ben’s sort of talented younger brother) plans to make a documentary about the creation of this album.  We don’t even know what to say… just look at that picture.  Phoenix is either on heavy medication/drugs or just another actor who plans on embarassing themselves for our amusement.  Singing like Johnny Cash does not mean rapping is a good idea.  ATH fans, how about a Joaquin Phoenix album title or worst musical acts by famous actors?  Go!
