SXSW, Music on over 80 Stages

The South by Southwest Music and Media Conference (SXSW) happens once a year, and it attracts thousands. People fly out from around the country to check out concerts by little known bands, that for SXSW standards, are going to be that year's up and comers. The attendees will be able to say they saw them first when their friends are getting a first listen on the radio.

It combines, live music, behind the scenes of film making and everything that is new in media & technology. Sounds like a Goobers paradise :)

If you are close to Austin TX, check it out March 13-22.

There will be over 1,800 musical performances on 80 of Austin's stages. EPIC.

I have to mention that Diggnation will be having a live show on March 14th at Stubb's, all ages. Go get your drink on with the Digg boys!

For more info on SXSW check out the site, the schedule is insane, i think you will def. find something worth checking out.

[Hey Goobers, I think we need to check this out next year *hint*hint* ;) ]

I've been the happy owner of a Zune 30GB for quite some time (aside from the whole Y2K fiasco), only recently did I take advantage of their Podcast Download section (usable for Zune owners only, sorry!) I've been discovering some awesome podcasts.

My recent Favorite? Diggnation. Which is a show all about their website, Digg.com. Have you ever been on the web, bored as hell and thought, “I wish there was a website where I can check out what everyone else is checking out on the net,” well your dream has come true, that's what Digg.com is all about. Digg is a user based site that lets anyone post up articles, pictures or video's that they “Dig,” and then everyone votes weather they Dig it too. The Diggnation podcast counts down all of the top “Diggs.” for the week. Kevin Rose (A San Francisco resident) and Alex Albrecht host this witty countdown of diggable pieces of information.

The current top Dig? There's a new title sequence for the Simpson's. Doh! Dug by over 5,700 people, here's the clip that everyone's voting for:

I think it's worth checking out, you'll definitely have something to talk about around the office watering hole.
