The LP Questionnaire/Pick Three - Calvin Love

Music LPQ/P3

Welcome, welcome to the sixth year of that sweet little survey oddly named The LP Questionnaire, and everyone's favorite (okay, I have no idea if it's everyone's favorite) feature Pick Three.

I'm mighty excited to be back bringing you the wit and wisdom of some of the super fab artists performing at the SXSW this year. We're kicking things off right with Mr. Calvin Love, whose tasty lo-fi treats make my heart beat happy and a little dark.

Calvin told us that he's a chocaholic, a damn great shot, push mongo and proud of it.

SXSW is proud to announce that Chevrolet is back as a 2013 SXSW Super Sponsor!

For the past three years running, Chevrolet has brought a fleet of Cruze sedans and Equinox crossovers to provide continuous shuttle service throughout the duration of the festival. The “Catch a Chevy” program is a huge convenience to our registrants, providing upwards of 10,000 rides each year. Vehicles can be hailed just like a taxi, or caught at the designated “Catch a Chevy” stop at 4th & Trinity right outside of the Austin Convention Center. Once you catch a ride, they will take you anywhere you want to go in downtown Austin, and the best part; it is 100% free for SXSW badge and wristband holders.
