HELLO. YOU ARE READING THE OBLIGATORY EVERYBODY IS IN AUSTIN AT SXSW BUT ME POST. IT'S COMING TO YOU LIVE FROM BANK ROBBER HQ WHICH IS COMPLETELY EMPTY WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ME CUZ EVERYONE IS AT SXSW BUT ME WHICH GIVES THIS POST IT'S TITLE AND IT'S TRUTH. LYLE IS PROBABLY DOING BONG HITS WITH J. MASCIS RIGHT NOW. DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON GANDHAR. DUDE IS PROBABLY FACE DOWN IN A GIANT POOL OF OPEN FACE BURRITO'S WITH EXTRA HOT SAUCE. GOD, IT'S SO SLOW HERE CUZ EVERYONE IS AT SXSW BUT ME. LIKE EVEN PEOPLE I KNOW FROM BACK IN THE DAY WHO DON'T WORK IN MUSIC AND DON'T EVEN LISTEN TO MUSIC AND PROBABLY THINK "INDIE" REFERS TO A WHITE TRASH CAR RACE ARE IN AUSTIN RIGHT NOW AT SXSW. I GUESS SXSW HAS TURNED INTO THE TYPE OF MTV SPRING BREAK FRIENDLY ACTIVITY JULES ASNER WOULD'VE COVERED BACK IN THE DAY ON "WILD ON! E w/ JULES ASNER". I'M PROBABLY DATING MYSELF WITH THAT REFERENCE, BUT FUCK IT - I'm STILL YOUNG SO IT's LIKE OK AND ALL. ... ... ... ... ... ... ...I GUESS I SHOULD PROBABLY SAY SOMETHING RELEVANT FOR ALL THE SUPERVISORS OUTHERE IN THE DIGITAL ETHER, SO HERE'S THAT SOMETHING:

Just the other day The NY Times wrote a killer review of the SXSW super-hot buzzband, The Pains of Being Pure At Heart. You can read it HERE. And considering I've said these peeps were gonna be famous since day one, I'm taking this as official confirmation of the fact that I should be hired by Columbia to do A&R instead of that bearded loser Rick Rubin. A boy can dream. And considering they are actually pals of mine - I can safely say it couldn't happen to a nicer band. They are playing a KAZILLION shows in Austin right now. So if you are actually at SXSW (which I am not, in case that wasn't clear for some reason), The Pains are probably on stage in front of you right now. And props to NY TIMES scribe, Jon Caramanica for working in the phrase: "foamy wave" into the title of his Pains review.

Lastly but not leastly, here's The Pains of Being Pure At Heart's awesome video for "Everything With You." They are not lesbians. Just friends PEOPLE! C'mon.

 

HAVE FUN IN AUSTIN EVERYONE! I'll JUST BE HERE ALL BY MY LONESOME. NO WORRIES.  SO EMO.
