SXSW (south by southwest) was this weekend in Austin. I really think I want to go to that soon. If not next year, than certainly the year after that. Austin is such a cool town, there is literally live music going on all night every night up and down 6th st (or is it 8th?).
Anywho, the point of this little ditty is to say that I’d like to start blogging about music more. It seems I’m a bit lazy as far as finding new bands, but I’m in “the industry” (laugh), and I call myself a musician…I’m even scheming on a little indie music forum with Kyle F…so why don’t I
ever talk about it?
So here’s a free gift…for those who don’t know:
the current (minneapolis)
kexp (seattle)
I stream them both for free…which works out pretty good since they don’t have commercials. I’ll also give credit to drive 105 fm (minneapolis) even though they’re an ABC radio station, they really make it feel indie, and they’re not afraid to play new stuff.
Does anyone else have something to share?
Also, check “my jams” over there to your right. I promise to update those at least once a month to show off some new favs.

i guess I should mention KCRW too, since they are looked at as setting the trends across the indie music world. Even though I think they’re kind of snobs (for personal reasons).
