Phew. So I’m back, if you still give a crap. Safe-ish & sound, but with more dirty laundry and an empty fridge. Majority of catching up questions & convos begin with a request for a musical (un-related to interactive, wha wha?) highlight. That’s tough. Here goes nothing, Top 5′in it up:
1. Jens Lekman x 3 - the NPR party at the Parish, the hot freaks party at Club de Ville & the night showcase at Mohawk. Oh, & having a blissful moment talking to him, that was pretty badass, too.
Mp3 - The Opposite of Hallelujah @ the Parish - NPR Day Party
2. Eli ‘Paperboy’ Reed & the True Loves - knocked me out, shut me up & left me wanting way more. Did the requisite waterloo run on Sunday but to no avail. Gotta get this record STAT.
Mp3 - The Satisfier from The Satisfier single
3. She and Him - M Ward + Zooey Deschanel. Yum. We didn’t have sun stroke, we were swooning, for reals.
4. Lykke Li - I was in love with her before I left, this day party show just sealed the deal.
Mp3 - Window Blues @ Club de Ville Hot Freaks Party
5. Nada Surf - Classic performance at Cedar Street. Still remember seeing them during my first SXSW at the Yard Dog day party. Flip back for some of the previous NS Mp3s…
ANYWAY one of the highlights was hanging out in the airport listening to a recording of the M Ward show at St. David’s church, which Peter got into (lucky dog), but I was super lucky, too, to have met so many nice people along the entire stretch of the visit. One encounter reminded me to dust off Cub’s Box of Hair tonight. Long story. When I say I wish you were there, I mean it. Most of the time.
Peace

Sadly, I didn’t get in to M. Ward. At one point, about 45 minutes before the show, they let in 13 people and cut it off right at me. It’s amazing that not a single person left in the next hour or so. I ended up heading to Okkervil River at Stubb’s, which was good. No complaints.
ahh boo! hopefully this npr dude i met will get permission to post the entire jim james & m ward sets soon…sucks that you didn’t get in! so close, i remember seeing you two in line - argh!
