"In its 22 years, SXSW has grown from a tiny music festival in the Texas capital into a massive, unavoidable media beast that reflects, discusses and showcases trends in culture and media but also often creates them." National Post, 3/13/08
I was sad to hear of Jerry Reed's passing and confess my favorite memory of him was when he guested on Scooby Doo (I was a giant SD fan as a kid.)
Is this not great?
In other news, Slipknot has the number one album in the country. Those guys are kind of adorable, I must admit.
New Kids on the Block released a new record this week. I can't tell you how many of my girlfriends are very excited about this.
Britney Spears will open the MTV VMA's this Sunday but will not perform. I shall refrain from comment. I am excited to see Russell Brand host, though. That guy is hilarious.
Really, here he is on Letterman.
That's all for tonight, good people. Feel free to email us at musicblog@sxsw.com.
She's alright with me, lp
