Music for the week

So last night I attended the Chicago Chapter of the Grammy Association's Mpls mixer and realized I know a lot of people who are eligible to vote for the Grammys.

Next, we headed to the Varsity to catch Tokyo Police Club, who I loved when I saw them play acoustically at The Current Stage at SXSW. But not so much as a full band...

So we left and went to Turf Club in St Paul to see South. They are so friggin good! Too bad more people weren't there to see them... bought their new CD.

Fond memories of SXSW 2008

"Opening session" with Kim, Taco, Thorn and Keith on the patio of Iron Cactus. (I'm so sunburned!)
Seeing the 50 Records kids in their shirts everyday. (Who knew five girls could shower in under an hour?)
Catching South acoustically at the Blue Hammock party. (Hello Rocco.)
Watching Tim challenge "The Racoon" to a dance off on 6th Street.
Seeing Elevation and White Light Riot SHINE during their showcases. (I will feel so satisfied when everyone in the world loves them as much as I do.)
Andrew in the "panties."
Governor's Party (Thurs, Fri and Sat).
Seeing Keith, Nate and Tim dirty dance (together)!
Catching Tokyo Police Club acoustically at The Current stage (and being able to tell them how great they were at the airport on Sunday morning).
Running into friends everywhere.
Staying up all night on Saturday to catch our 4:30 am taxi to the airport (I guess I'm not to old to party all night!?)


I managed to catch a cold on the plane home.

50 Records Interns Travel to South by Southwest Music Festival

While many bands will start to travel to the South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas in earlier March, a different yet still as dynamic group of people will join them on the road. 50 Records announces today that they will be sending a group of 10 interns and staff members to the South by Southwest music festival via Winnebago to help present 50 Records South by Southwest Day Show with Zude, a new social media network.

The group will depart from Minneapolis on March 11th and will document their journey south using daily video blogs that will be posted on numerous web and blog sites including www.myspace.com/50records, 50records.blogspot.com and sxsw.ning.com.


“This documentary is meant to showcase the trials and tribulations of mixing both work and pleasure at this year’s South by Southwest Music and Media Conference. The documentary will illustrate the journey and experience of a group of people trying to maintain a constructive demeanor at a conference known for its laid back fun-loving atmosphere. The collection of ten travelers are sure to face challenges while bonding, learning, growing, and having fun, elements unseen by most South by Southwest attendees. Rarely do people get to observe such honesty from behind the scenes of record labels. Being young, independent, and groundbreaking contributes elements guaranteed to make this an exceptionally candid, entertaining, and enjoyable documentary,” says Marc Tobin, A&R Coordinator for 50 Records.
