sxsw planner pants

white williams: new violence dude, you guys, the weather can SUCK IT today. it’s FREEZING and gray and dreary and GAAAH. mother nature is a total meanie, cos just this weekend i decided to take down my snowman door sign and put up my apron w/ flowers sign, and *everyone* knows that this change signifies the OFFICIAL END of winter. are you paying attention, mother nature? MY SPRING SIGN IS UP. HELLO.sigh.i’m consoling myself with the fact that, in one week, i will be rocking my pants off at sxsw. thus, today was the perfect opportunity for me to put together my sxsw schedule!whenever i’m scrolling through band after band after band after band after band after eyes glazing over band, i’m always surprised by a few of the musical choices. i mean, when you think sxsw, you think indie rock and japanese punk and some hip hop and maybe some “austin” music. you don’t think… hanson?HANSON IS COMING TO SXSW?!!!!ZZZOMGGGG MMBOP!WHOAH. they’re like… older now. and totally full of ANGST. and BLACK AND WHITE.yeah i won’t be seeing them.i mean, if you don’t got the ole mmbop in you anymore, i’m not interested.i also noticed that moby is performing? uh, what decade is this, seriously? oh wait, the lemonheads are playing too?ok, well i guess i was wrong to think the 90s were over. my bad! tell the gin blossoms i want them here IMMEDIATELY.also, why do the old 97s always headline a stubb’s show? don’t get me wrong, i like the old 97s, and rhett miller is super hot.
