And to be technically accurate, AT&T “values” their customers exactly half as much as new ones.

Part two of our two-part series.

Hangin out with Wavves, drinking pretty much all day at the Fader Fort. We kicked it backstage until Secret Service basically kicked everyone out who didn’t know the biggest no-talent rap artist alive personally.

Along the way, we did run into John Norris(the chuck norris of music television correspondents, fittingly) Popo and others.

Seriously though, you need to watch this one to the end (or at least skip to there)- the Todd P/Wodsist show at Ms. Bea’s was fucking crazy. The footage is short, but you can get an idea- crowd-surfing, climbing on the rafters etc…

Here are parts one and two of the Wavves episode:

Again, peace to RJ and everyone at pitchfork and we’ll see ya’ll next year!

Aside from shooting our asses off with the knucklerumbler during SXSW last month, we also helped out our friends in Brooklyn, Pitchfork TV, shooting 2 episodes for their Daytripper series.

The first episode, with Peter Bjorn and John, was pretty damn chill; We had a few beers, met up with a swedish cameraman/producer with a crazy one man camera rig contraption, drove around town, ran into B.O.B. (who we later shot, video coming soon) and ended up at the super cool Big Orange Studio on the east side… well, then a lot more beers and kebab-a-licious. You know that shit goes…

Here are parts one and two of the PBJ episode:

Warning: After watching this your ass may whistle uncontrollably for at least 12 hours.

peace to RJ and everyone at pitchfork and we’ll see ya’ll next year!

Switchburn,
I am sending you a link to my myspace. This is the link. I don’t know if this is the proper address to send it to but it’s too late now. I’m trying to get people to blog about me. I hope you take a minute and listen to my ep. Please… take a minute! It’s probably better than you think it’s gonna be.

Thanks,
Aaron

Unfortunately, I missed SXSW this year… I’m kinda sad that I missed the craziness… the debauchery… the lack of sleep… the running from venue to venue… the celebrities… the music… the Kanye and Metallica shows, the alco…. wait. Did I say Kanye and Metallica? WTF!?

 SXSW… where did you go? I know, I know…. ya’ll are gonna hate on me for this and I am sure it was a great festival, with some amazing parties and showcases. But come on. How is there any room to give love to the bands that need it the most when one of the biggest bands in the world, Metallica, plays a 90-minute show at Stubbs with thousands of people in the show and then another few thousand outside trying to jump the fence to get in.

Remember Metallica helped destroy Napster… I will forever be bitter about that.

And then there was Kanye West. The most arrogant, self-aware, cocky, whiny, albeit somewhat talented, did I say arrogant, artists to probably ever grace the stage. Granted he was promoting the artists under his G.O.O.D label like Kid Cudi, who played “Day ‘N Night.” (Probably one of the most over played songs on the radio, but I still like it.) So “Mr. West” wasn’t necessarily there to promote himself… but his performance, let alone his presence there was enough to take the spot light away from other artists. Same goes for Metallica.

SXSW is for the smaller bands, the unsigned bands, the bands that have spent their own money to get in their van and drive thousands of miles to come here just to perform 3-6 shows and hope that someone notices them before they go back. It’s to discover new music… not go to see artists that have won numerous grammys. All the post SXSW news has been about Metallica and Kanye West, leaving little room for the smaller guy.

But alas, there will always be the “Secret/Not So Secret” shows at SXSW every year. Bigger names will always take the spotlight from those who need it, unintentionally for the most part. And SXSW will continue to get bigger and better each year.

p.s: dont get me wrong… SXSW is an amazing festival and I think anyone that has the opportunity to go to it will not regret it.
