Remember the movie Almost Famous when Billy Crudup’s character dropped acid at a high school party and ended up on the roof shouting “I am a Golden God” before jumping into the pool? Well at SXSW 2008, we witnessed the same scene only it was on top of the Flamingo Cantina during a Dr. […]

You ever have one of these weekends where everything falls into place? That was my SXSW weekend. Can’t find a cab? Bus pulls up. Cabbie screws you over? Random electrician guy drives you across town. Great performances, great people, awesome weekend. In a weekend filled with top-notch performances, here are my top 10.

Here are the first batch of videos from SxSW 2008. We caught The Felice Brothers at Opal Divine’s on a small outdoor deck. Unfortunately the sun was setting behind the band, so I had trouble getting comfortable and couldn’t get a shot of the entire band without getting some serious glare (hence the shakiness).

I’ll have a full SxSW recap in the next few days, but I just wanted to take a minute to thank the great city of Austin for a fantastic time.
On Saturday night, I dragged three of my friends into Buffalo Billiards to see The Delta Spirit at Midnight. We all hit the wall about 6 […]

We’ll get back to the music soon enough (I’m sure some of you are tired of all the SXSW talk), but this is an important post.

First, I’d like to thank Bloodshot Records for letting us be a part of their day party at Yard Dog. It was absolutely, without a doubt, the most well-attended […]

Still in recovery from SXSW 2008, but here are a few pictures from the ole point-and-shoot Olympus. The HearYa gang made a pact when we arrived to SXSW to make sure it felt like a vacation. That meant very little blogging during the week and very few pictures. We managed to get some decent […]

We’re running all over Austin at SXSW and not much time to handle the site.  We’ve seen great music and several F list celebrity sightings.  The Bachelor, Brad Womack, was at Chuggin’ Monkey and Matt Pinfield from the MTV glory days is in the room next to us.  We also saw Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite.
As […]
