@Discographies on SXSW (New Yorker)

The anonymous writer @Discographies made his relatively recent though entirely
solid reputation as a critic by using Twitter to sum up an artist's entire
recorded career in a hundred and forty characters. Using a different, first-
person voice, @Discographies has just filed a series of posts about being in
Austin for the SXSW Festival. Read all four parts on _Rolling Stone_'_s_ Web
site to discover what you missed, and what you're glad you didn't have to
dodge.

I've always convinced myself that I don't lose out on anything by skipping
SXSW. I live in a yearlong festival called New York, and I dislike
experiencing any more compression and overload than I already do. Almost every
single act that played a brief set at SXSW in a very crowded room will play a
longer (though possibly equally over-attended) set in New York, if they
haven't already. And when a band makes an impression on me, I often want to
leave the venue and let the sound rattle around in my head, even if it means
missing another act. Maybe that's a certain unhelpful kind of audio
sensitivity. Maybe I'm bad at multitasking.
