Dinner Music: SXSW edition

SO MUCH GOOD MUSIC IN HERE

I’ve been stalking the SXSW lineup for a few months now and have been combing through all of the artists in their official playlist. There’s a lot. Something for everybody. That’s the point. There’s a few artists I’m really excited about, like Nat Vazer and Blvck Hippie. This is very lame to say, but doing this always reinvigorates how I feel about music. It’s so fucking hard to find new music. What I’ve found is a huge genre mix, like dream pop, pleasure wave, indie rock (is this even still a genre?), neo-emo, global groove and good god, so much more.

Here’s to a week (or more!) of good weather, live music and discovering songs that we love. I hope to see you out there! Wear sunscreen.

What follows:

• A playlist that I’ll keep adding to, even after SXSW

• A few albums / artists that I’ve loved from SXSW artists

• A few events that have great lineups
