Kaffeine Buzz SXSW Interactive 2010 Photo Gallery – March 20, 2010 The last day of SXSW 2010 for me. Started with the British Embassy Brunch, featuring The Crookes and Broadcast 2000, but no coffee. Then over to see Of Verona, the Filter Party for Athlete and The Constellations, ending with Alvarez Kings, P.K. 14, and […]
(One of our KB writers, Ilan Baril, arrives in Austin today – Friday, March 19. If you’re at SXSW, watch for him on the dancefloor or at a bar near you.) Tell me a story, something awesome, something I’d pay to hear about maybe. You can’t, can you? You want to, I know you do, […]

The Antlers After listening to Hospice on a rainy road trip from Athens, it became my favorite album of 2009. Solemn with dark subject matter, but so beautiful and intimate that you don’t struggle with wallowing in Silberman’s heartbreak. In January, I saw them put on a powerful and haunting show at a tiny packed […]
Creating a SXSW playlist (by downloading select showcasing artist’s MP3s from sxsw.com/music) to carry with me on my iPod or iPhone has been a way for me to really get to know bands that are completely foreign to me—literally—prior to stepping foot on Austin soil.
