Photos from SXSW 2012: Wednesday

It was a delightful night at Stubbs with a showcase only NPR could give. Fiona Apple is a trip and I loved every part of her intense and amazing set. Sharon Van Etten is freaking amazing, and Alabama Shakes was everything I wanted to be and more! There was also a set by Dan Deacon in there. He was strange and had us all participating in group interpretive dance that often found its way to mosh-like craziness. I thought he sounded a lot like angry cats, but I had a great time dancing to him. 

NPR knows how to put on a great showcase

Accidental Playlist: SXSW 2012 1st Edition

For the next few weeks leading up to SXSW I will be posting playlists featuring SXSW artists I am excited about. I decided to split them up instead of making one gigantic list. This week's list features great artists like Sharon Van Etten (who will be playing Stubbs as part of NPR's opening night showcase!), Alice Russell, Trampled By Turtles (my fave group from last year), Charlie Mars, Blitzen Trapper, The War on Drugs, Ingrid Michaelson, Wheeler Brothers and many more. Take a listen and get as excited as I am! Also, be sure to check out my color coded spreadsheet of SXSW 2012 artists.
