This is the most intensely personal part of one’s SXSW packing list. I’m only taking four things that plug in.  FOUR! And I absolutely WON’T be carrying around my laptop. What is this? 2007? HAHAHAHAHA . . .

Here’s my stuff:

At SXSWi, taking only this much tech gear makes me a luddite.

I wouldn't stop streaming the NPR Music live show of the Shins performing Port of Morrow to take the picture. It's rocking my face off. They really caught fire on the 4th song. Can't wait!

Your least favorite song.  I hate a lot of songs.  If I’m in the car and a Rush song comes on, I move with a speed I didn’t think possible to change it to anything else.  Unless it’s Joanna Newsom, this one makes me very sad, because I like her, and she has very pretty hair, and I don’t dislike her songs, but her voice just doesn’t work for me.  Which makes me feel like a horrible person because that’s such a personal thing, to criticize someone’s voice. AND! I’ve been a fan of Billy Corgan for years, and I know his voice is difficult to love.  I think I’m going to give her another shot.  Owen Pallett covered “Peach Plum Pear” at SXSW, and it made me think it was time to try again.  When I think of the worst of the worst, of a song that I hate so much that I am furious with myself when it gets stuck in my head, it’s Ween – Push Th’ Little Daisies.

 

I hate it so much that flames, flames, on the side of my face . . .

That makes it better.

And then there’s this.

This person started recording a few seconds late when he/she figured out what was happening. There is another video, but it’s all blurry.  Ok, fine, I’ll post that one too.

Did I mention I was at this show? So great.
