- Attention local bands: SXSW 2008 is accepting your applications to be showcase performers during the week long festival come March. The deadline is November 9, 2007 for stateside applicants. If your band has a Sonicbid membership, you can register using that account. Otherwise, register online.
- Future SXSW attendees can register online to attend, too: music badges are a mere $500 through September 28.
- Paper Thin Walls feature Austin's Best Fwends: "It's a very mixed up scene, like a high school where everyone gets along. Except in reality, high school students can only get into shows at a few places. The bar scene still controls downtown Austin, so the real places to play are record stores, pizza places or house parties."
- Don't miss the Blitzen Trapper live studio performance on KUT.org. The band's latest album, Wild Mountain Nation, is getting plenty of nods around the music community.
- Chicagoist helps sort through Lollapalooza '07.
- Tim Smith, of Denton's Midlake, talks to Pitchfork about some of his favorite things. "I didn't listen to too much this year-- new stuff. It's most been '70s stuff. I guess out of new stuff, I guess I could say Antony and the Johnsons-- I think he's genius. I love that album-- I Am a Bird Now. There's a guy named John Vanderslice. I love his stuff, and I'm friends with him so I don't know if it's bad to say that."
- The Top Ten Accessories for Music Geeks according to Stylus Magazine.
