SXSW is still in full effect -- highlights from yesterday included sets from No Age, Clipse & Re-up Gang, and Cut Copy at the Rhapsody thing, the Stereogum party, and a cool Lou Reed tribute featuring MMJ, Moby, and the man himself. Photos to come, but for now, a song:

AM is Karl Blau's "psych-folk ode" to Winnie the Pooh author A.A. Milne. I haven't listened enough yet to pick up the connection there, but Blau's adventurous lo-fi pop has made a great soundtrack for cruising around Austin. Unfortunately, I missed both his official showcase and his set at We Shot JR's day party, but hopefully you can catch him at some point on his current tour.

AM is out March 18 on Whistler Records.

If you're in Austin today, come on out to the Mohawk + Deville for our Hot Freaks party. We nixed that RSVP bullshit, so everyone is welcome to roll through until we hit capacity. See you there.
