Obligatory South By South West post

Check out the video! My old digital camera was having trouble taking pictures in the low lit clubs so I tried to grab a few seconds of video of everyone I saw. There is it all slapped together. Surprisingly good audio for a 4 year old point and shoot!

Also brought down the field recording gear and managed to get lots of fun drops and interviews. I've compiled my favorite drops and conversations into an official Mofo Radio supplementary podcast type thing. In it you'll find an interview with the Austin band Mediums, some backstage chat with Sharron Jones, and lots of drops and mayhem in between. Oh and about the drops, I was officially there as engineer for WRBB (where I lead my radio double life) but wanted to grab drops and interviews to play on WZBC as well so you'll hear all sorts of call letters in the mix. Check em out:

SXSW Mofocast

And finally some notes on last week's show. Tracks from the new Kieran Hebden and Steve Reid are reinterpreted by Audion (aka Mathew Dear) with his remix of People Be Happy/ Rhythm Dance. This track brought to my attention by These Rocks Pop, who post more MP3's then I can download and have a pretty good handle on what's good. I'm also pretty sure one of them is a buddy of mine from high school but I've yet to make contact. Either way check them out!

Nothing super special planned for the show this week. Some more vinyl from Texas, jazz, free jazz, and electro free jazz freak outs are all likely. See me tomorrow night at 10. Peace yall,
