Gluttony Is The New

As mentioned in my previous SXSW wrap up posts, this year’s South By theme was all about rocking out with your…well ya know what I mean. So, I’ve wracked my brain to come up with a list of the most memorable (and scandalous) happenings at this year’s fest. Take a look…

My favorite moments from SXSW 2011:

The elusive Dad Racist #DadRacist

#MEGABLAGG Party

Big Freedia’s Azz Everywhere bootylicious performance at The Windish Agency Showcase

Any and all Gobble Gobble performances

“Congratulations on being nice to touch” - Jamie Woon to me via text

Twin Shadow and Heems of Das Racist wasted at Shangri-La rapping for whatever camera came their way

A certain music blogger sending a 5am text saying “We don’t bite”.

Everything at the Other Music & Dig For Fire Lawn Party at the French Legation from James Blake, Tune-Yards, !!!, Cults, to the incredible venue, great weather, free ice cream and cheap booze. Click the links to check out their live sets from the party!

Turbo Fruits rocking ridiculously hard at the Panache Hangover Party

Falling asleep at weird warehouse parties in the company of Neon Indian among others. Peep his yet to be released collab album with Flaming Lips via Pitchfork

Me embarrassing myself at #MEGABLAAG by hardcore crushing on the band Keepaway

The band of troll-like creatures known as Grouplove looking for some action at The Pure Volume House

“This guy sucks” -Louie of Wiseblood, referring to Jamie Woon’s performance at The Pure Volume House

The pack of Canadian sweethearts spotted all over SXSW - Teen Daze, Gobble Gobble and Purity Ring—truly lovely gentleman.

Incredible new Twitter friends

Finally getting to see one of my very favorite band’s Guards play at IGIF’s Killer Tofu Party

Russ of Twin Shadow’s tear drop fake tattoos (Wish I had a pic. Still hilarious)

P. Diddy checking out the Odd Future show at the Mess With Texas Party

Grouped-In drunk texts

“Was it good? Really? It was Good?” -John Maus’s response to adoring fans after finishing his incredible set at the Altered Zones showcase

Peelander-Z and their crazy “Mad Tiger” fans

The Pains of Being Mediocre (sorry)

The Austin Chronicle’s Off The Record writer giving me the low down on every band I should be listening to right now and why

Christopher Laufman of Wiseblood opening their show by introducing themselves as Friendly Fires, then later at another show telling the crowd they were Kings of Leon, and thanking “buzz band” Esben & The Witch for coming to the show

Every person I talked to that endured my joke of a voice

CAN’T WAIT FOR 2012!
