SXSW

I’m kicking myself for not going to SXSW yet again. Every year I drool over the panel discussions and rock shows. Why don’t I ever go? Why does it have to be in Texas?

Panels by day
Bands by night

I’ve noticed that rap music, no matter how bad, can be listenable for short periods of time much more than bad rock music. This might just be because I’m a relative novice to the genre, but if I’m scanning radio stations for some background music I’ll stop on generic hip-hop over generic pop any day.

I also agree with bad rap vs. bad pop. I will shamelessly admit to listening to Jay-Z or Notorious BIG because it is mind numbing and somewhat fun. Creed or Alien Ant Farm — I start cussing about the current state of pop music and how radio has been ruined by big business.

you should really update more often. I should really stop using your weblog to tell you things when I could just shout into the next room.
