speed of dark

Sometimes life gets in the way of blogging (imagine that!), so today I need kind of an easy post without too much analyzation on my part. I decided to create a mini-sampler of a few of the huge number of bands that will be appearing at the music portion of the annual South by Southwest Festival in Austin, TX from March 14 - 18.

These are songs that I like a lot, but I haven't had the time to look up info about the bands, and I have maybe only one or two songs of theirs in my collection. However, I notice that my selection sometimes provides a little different take on the artists than the sample songs on the SXSW website. A few of the bands didn't provide a sample song. Enjoy!
