If you run into me over the next 5 days or so, I might be slightly depressed ... in a random "funk", so to speak.
"Turnbull, why the long face?" you ask.
Answer: "I'm stuck in Toronto right now .... and I'm not at this year's
SXSW Festival."
Last year, the Future-Mrs and I ventured to Austin, Texas for the annual music+film+interactive media festival, with the majority of live music showcases taking place from March 15th to 20th. There's over 2,000 bands playing in over 90 venues throughout the downtown area. Austin is by far one of the best city's I've visited. The locals are extremely friendly, the food is AMAZING (especially at
Stubb's, and
Lamberts), everything's clean, and it's super-easy to get around. Go there if you can!
So how do I deal with my inability to attend this year's festival? Thanks to the good folks at
Bandcamp, I sit at home and listen to their free live stream of music from over 470 bands performing this year!
Simply click the link below, kick back and enjoy the music. You may stumble over a great new band you've heard before. If you're not digging something you hear, just skip to the next track.
Big props to Willis Mack for the tip on this...
