sxsw
my buddy dan sez that if you can't find something you wanna hear at sxsw, you just don't like music.
this yr i'm going on the fw weekly's largesse, primarily to see the nervebreakers at 5pm friday and 7pm sat'day, and to have a burger at my friend casino's bar.
looking at the music sked for friday, it makes me sad to see two bands playing before green river ordinance at mother egan's (715 w. 6th st.) whom i first saw in '76 (scott kempner, who was then a member of the dictators, opening for jeff beck) and '79 (willie nile, who was opening for the who). however, since mod brit-turned-austinite ian mclagan & the bump band are also on that bill, that may well be where i wind up spending friday night post-nervebreakers.
then again, the wfmu/aquarius records showcase is at spiro's amphitheater (611 red river st.), and the gunslingers are playing there at 1am. by that time, show-hopping will be a wishful-thinking waste of time, and the folks at wfmu and aquarius generally have trustworthy taste. so maybe i need to rethink it.
sat'day looks like it might be a good night to park it on a stool at casino's. but we'll see when we get there.

The longer my run goes, the more my attitude changes about that band from 76 (et al) opening up for the Next Big Thing. I just hope to be PLAYING the music I love 33 years after I got to do it the first time. Doesn't really matter who is at the top of the bill, as long as I'm on there somewhere. Eat, sleep, breathe music.
