SXSW 2005

I greeted the 2005 South By Southwest Music Festival with my usual mix of anticipation and dread. On the one hand, I had great bands, old friends and new discoveries in the offing. On the other, I also had sleep deprivation, physical exhaustion, throbbing calves and feet and, for the first time, ripping lower back pain (guess I'm getting old) in my future as well. But the former is worth the latter for me, so why complain? Let's get right to the nitty gritty, shall we?
