...and something for the non-applicants

So I've been busy the past few months while I've been ignoring my blog. Shot Bon Iver at the Turf for Pitchfork, Dean & Britta for Spin.com and of course numerous shows for HowWasTheShow.com and ReveilleMag.com. Basically, I've been a bit swamped.

However, the great month of March again rears its musical beast of a head, blessing me with access to the SXSW music festival in Austin, Texas, and a ridiculous St. Patrick's Day show from Gaelic Storm at the Guthrie. What to do!?

Well, I'll give you a few things to listen to, that's what!

Hang Them All - Tapes 'N Tapes
The Mountain Goats in Minneapolis from 6/6/03 - at the Triple Rock!

Yeah so most of you have that stuff, right?

Well here's something new for you:



The band is The Dodos and I've really been enjoying their music the past couple days. The band consists of two San Fran boys who play finely tuned folk-pop. It's a great pick me up when I've had a long day and want to relax, but remain upbeat. They're playing a few shows at SXSW as well, so I can't wait to check them out live.

Huzzah, welcome back! It looks like March is going to be a fine month for music - I wish I had something like Gaelic Storm on Paddy's Day to look forward to :)
