Not much here that interests me. I'm glad that the Cure are getting their victory lap this year at all the fests. They aren't a real favorite of mine but Robert Smith has done it his way for 35 years and they are both unique and influential.Of the other oldies, only D'Angelo and Shuggie Otis interest me and neither seems like a good fit for mid afternoon spots which is likely what they will get. Newbie wise I would like to see Foxygen and Jake Bugg and I wll hope that they might play some after shows.
I'm too old for the fest thing anymore-especially since they took the single day option away this year

Congrats!
I'll be there directing the main stage on both weekends.
The first weekend will be webcast on YouTube, the second will not.
I love Austin at that time of the year so I'm looking forward to spending a few days there chilling between shows.

Cool, Jammy!
Not in the Face are a great local band. I'm really looking forward to White Denim and Portugal. The Man too. Just got my pass.

They forgot to put "Puppet Show" above Caspar Babypants on that poster.

Tons of great bands. Lionel Richie sticks out like a sore thumb though, doesn't he?  Candy, please tell me your client isn't Caspar Babypants, the last listed. If it is, forgive me! Electric Six, Franz Ferdinand, Depeche always puts on a great show. Holy shit, Neko Case? Fantastic lineup. And, I'm sure a lot of the acts listed are amazing even if I don't know them or their music. Discovery is part of these things, right? I do like the Scandinavian(?) band called Junip. They're very dreamy and sort of Simon & Garfunkel in a good modern way. Anyway, cool lineup, for sure. Except for a couple of songs, The Cure is just.. has never been for me. |

Haha, Merc! No, it's The Peterson Brothers. They're young kids, and they're tearing it up here in Austin. Caspar Babypants has to be the worst band name ever! Lionel Richie is ALWAYS here. He was at SXSW last year and it was so bizarre. We can't get him to leave I admit, I was a major Cure fan, and of course they're part of my adolescence, but they aren't the big draw for me. To me, it's all the smaller bands. |

Whew! Good to know, Candy! Caspar Babypants is totally the worst band name ever. It's probably Justin Bieber's security code-name for him. Anyway, enjoy! Didn't you guys just have SXSW? Austin: great music city, or the greatest? It honestly sounds fantastic. |

Trust me...the name is the best part of Caspar Babypants. Local "talent" in the form of Chris Ballew from The Presidents Of The USA. Singing kids songs. For kids. It's so much worse than it sounds. |

I could have fun here. Sad to see Neko Case's career doesn't seem to be gaining traction anymore.
