Here are my pictures from Wednesday and Thursday. Wednesday: Fear Of Men, Braids, Maserati, Caitlin Rose, Polyphonic Spree, Disclosure. From Hype Hotel and Brooklyn vegan parties

Agree on riff Raff, total crap. Didn't even include on my list. Blue Hawaii was so good. Glad I caught that. Flume, Blue Hawaii and Chvrches were my top 3 electronic acts. I got a great video of...

Definitely had a blast this year as usual. Probably spent most of my time at Hype Hotel, it had a/c which was useful and the best put together for sxsw venue with sounds and lighting. No clue yet how...

So far, I think I will skip fader altogether this year. It's almost all hip hop and the bands I would care to see are in the middle of the day against other things I want to see. I will definitely...

According to sxshhh, there are 4175 artists on their schedule. No other festival comes close, there is music everywhere you turn. It's also like walking around in a giant commercial, but we don't...

Instead of pedicabs, buy a cheap pawn shop or walmart bike and then sell it at a pawn shop or give it away. Just an idea. So much more freedom. It's easy for me since I am driving down though.

My...

I was lucky to get into fader after it crashed. I basically missed the RSVP when it opened then crashed, but got in when they reopened it later for 9 minutes before it hit capacity. Still not sure...

Spotify House RSVP. I think it was taking the MWTX location.

Mess With Texas is a no go this year. Confirmed by cameraonatsxsw from funfunfunfest on twitter.

Disappointing. But that's how it goes. I wish they did something at waterloo park again. MWTX was...

The Flaming Lips, Jim James and Divine Fits will be playing Friday at Auditorium Shores. This will be a guaranteed cluster fuck of people, but I want to go see Jim James if possible. I think Thursday...

Fader and Pure Volume are the 2 most important RSVP's. You have to be ready for the Fader RSVP. It opened and closed quickly last year. I think the RSVP opened on MArch 7th and lasted an hour or two....

3 days on a bike at sxsw will leave one completely exhausted on Saturday. You can always check pawn shops for cheap bikes or even a walmart crap bike. I got a $35 bmx bike at a pawn shop for sxsw...

do512.com Is one of the best resources for finding out bands playing sxsw.

They have a whole section for sxsw and will post the rsvp's, line-ups, parties and bands schedules playing sxsw and will...

Here is a list of current parties.

Do512 is one of the best resources for figuring out what to do and see.

Other bands...

I only paid $20 for the Sarah Jaffe showcase, other than that everything was free and I spent less than $200 total for 5 days in austin staying at a friends house.

It is like a living commercial,...

They were amazing. Almost missed out after losing my drivers license tonight. One more day to go. Been awesome and crowded.

Schedule is up at http://mwtxparty.com/

Just saw built to spill at 35 denton last night and it was good.

The Hype hotel RSVP closes in an hour.

Wednesday all...

Fader fort schedule is up. Since I am arriving and getting my wristband Wednesday, Santigold is the plan if it's not already stupid packed.

Read this entire thread. You will have so much fun without a wristband. You did miss out on fader fort rsvp today, best bet is to see if anyone in the wristband line has an extra plus one like I...

Jack White is playing a third man show. gonna try and catch that.

Nas is playing Illmatic for vevo with sleigh Bells opening at the power plant.

I saw Sleigh Bells twice at sxsw in 2010 before...

A couple videos from the show last night.

this is not a work friendly page at the moment.

I definitely want to catch Miike Snow somewhere this year. Not arriving until Wednesday so I can't catch the Tuesday show. Hype-M is supposed to take over Pure volume House and if thats the case it...

Mess With Texas is 3 days this year. No line-up yet. It was stupid packed last year and I just went to Fader.

No usually badges never get cut off, it is for non wristband badge people as they have their own line and get priority over non wb/badge people. It's in/out for wristband badge people mostly, but i...

A lot of the times you may have to commit to a venue if you want to see a band later. This is especially the case for fader fort, get there early or you won't make it in later. Sometimes they cut off...

I was posting sxsw stuff on inforoo, but it feels like I am talking to an empty room most of the time.

Really hoping I can catch Miike Snow there without a badge this year. I didn't have issues...

The biggest thing being supported with this thread is thay wristbands and badges aren't needed. It does seem to get more and more crowded every year, since it is also during spring break in Austin....

Already can't wait, always one of the funnest weekends of the year.

The music portion runs from March 13-18 2012

So far here is the first round of bands:

As far as the other questions go, staying around downtown Austin is the best idea if you can. The epicenter of sxsw is Red River near 6th street downtown encompassing many blocks in all directions. I...

I go every year and have never had a badge or a wristband. It's ungodly how many bands play. Will it be crowded? yes. Will you miss a few shows? yes. Can any person on the planet see all 2000 bands...

True, I have seen him 3 times this year including twice that weekend. Which is overkill.

Here are my Sunday pics consolidated.

I wish this had better audio, since she played She is Beyond Good and Evil in Dallas and it slays in a small venue. You didn't get to see the lightshow with this song on Fallon.

Fun Fun Fun Fest was Fun. Just dusty as shit so bandanas and sunglasses were the norm. The PIP looked amazing, 2 free meals a day, free swag and free booze all weekend for around double ticket price....

Most likely you haven't listened to these 3 Japanese girls touring with Battles right now, but they are one of the most impressive acts I have seen this year (judging by 10 mentions in the forum).
...

I am bumping this since he is about to finish off his tour. One of the best shows this year. Not sure if there was another thread.

So incredible last night in Dallas. I am going with favorite show of the year. She also played an acoustic set earlier in the day at Good Records and I got her signature on Strange Mercy. She signed...

Stream it here if you don't have it yet.
i think I have listened to it 4 times straight thru in the last 2 days.

This is a video I recorded last year of a lantern from beginning to end. Failure is in the title for a reason.

Cool, it works. Original file is 863.9 mb. Still uses flip4mac codec in quicktime to play. Attempting to upload the whole set to youtube as one.

I have the original ripped webcast stream saved. I haven't been able to watch it for a while since I lost the codec a while ago. I think it was flip4mac on quicktime. I just got a new imac so I will...

So it seems. Can't find anything else now. Lame.

This is a better quality stream.

I was trying to find out if the Justin tv was our only source to watch. The not available in your area shit sucks. Anything else? Twitter just posted that the park area is full for pulp. That's nuts.

Go Mavs!

I still can't get this album to download. I keep getting errors from piratebay and isohunt, but never have errors from demonoid. Annoying. Not connecting.

No luck getting it so far.

Love the taped set. Great quality, I will just pretend it was his sxsw show. For anyone going to any of his final US shows, drag as many people there as possible. Also, he does change up the tracks...

Hopefully my heads up after he annihilated sxsw Got a few people to go. I expected nothing less. Wish I could have gone.

I would probably go with Magnetic Man.

Beardyman was good at sxsw, but I don't think I realized it was him until later. I blame Fader Fort. Shit robot and Trentemoller played after and...
