SXSW free round-up: Carniville, record in-stores and 101X live broadcasts
We’re getting down to the wire, with a paltry single day remaining before the South by Southwest Music Festival commandeers Austin for four days of music and mingling. As always, there’s far too many cool free events going down on the side to even begin to touch on them here on the blog, but check out our massive SXSW side parties list and database today and throughout the festival to help plan your festival. But here are a few highlights worth your time:
I Heart Comix, Jelly and Mad Decent will present Carniville at the Mexican American Cultural Center, 600 River St., Thursday, March 18 through Saturday, March 20, from noon to 8 p.m. each day. The lineup — one of the best when it comes to SXSW day parties — includes Major Lazer, Diplo, the Walkmen, GZA, Cymbals Eat Guitars, Japanther and Sleigh Bells. This is also where you’ll find the American Apparel Flea Market, the one-stop shop for all your Los Angeles-manufactured hipster clothing needs. You can RSVP here.
Meanwhile, Austin’s other favorite record store, End of an Ear, 2209 S. First St., has a mean lineup of in-stores throughout SXSW, including Holly Miranda, Efterklang and Toro Y Moi. Check out the full lineup here.
Finally, 101X DJ Toby Ryan will be parked at Buffalo Billiards, all four days of the festival from 2 to 6 p.m., conducting a series of live on-air interviews including Spoon and Alpha Rev, with more to be announced on 101X’s SXSW page.

I agree that artists should be judged on their ‘artistic talent’, not any other random criteria. They are all artists, creative minds, whether you agree or don’t agree. This is what makes music interesting, on so many different levels. Let’s give them credit for believing, and pouring out their souls…have you done that lately?
