better late than never.

favorite acts of sxsw 2009.

harlem: this is the music that plays in my head when i feel good about fucking up my life which made it my own anthemic soundtrack to sxsw. rumor has it their lead singer coomers is a gay icon in the garage/punk scene. who knew?

ty segall: some people say the whole "one man band" thing is over played but ty's raw and fuzzy garage sound blows my mind. i was also convinced that he only wore striped shirts until fairly recently.

king tuff: who woulda thunk metal band witch's frontman kyle thomas could make such sweet psych pop gems? whenever i hear his music i have fantasies of high contrast, drug induced aimlessness. (ladies, he ain't too bad on the eyes either.)

hex dispensers: amazing punk rock from austin. their last album was recorded and mixed by mark ryan and mastered by jay reatard, need i say more?

jadakiss: i have always dreamed of marrying a rapper. instead of an engagement ring i will get a platnium grill and will forever live in the magical land of champagne and baby phat. i might also have a special affinity for jadakiss because everytime i go to the nurses office they think i have asthma (which i may add is a LIE).
