I Got Fed By Rachael Ray
Evan Rytlewski The SXSW Blog
Yesterday brought one of SXSW’s most anticipated (and oddest) day parties: Rachael Ray’s. Apparently, the celebrity chef/media mogul is a serious indie music lover, but I still have a hard time believing that the soccer mom-like talk show host has an iP

The Pabst Culture Clash
Evan Rytlewski The SXSW BlogJustin wasn't lying: There's an odd stigma about drinking Pabst here. When Justin ordered a round last night, a guy next to him surmised that he must be out of town, since people here stopped drinking Pabst two years ago. Justin was unable to gauge how mu

Skinny jeans in Austin
Justin Krol The SXSW BlogOkay dudes – we need to take it easy on the skinny jeans and
girls jeans.I really thought that this
was a dying trend, but more men are wearing female jeans than women in Austin this week.

R.E.M. Previews "Accelerate"
Evan Rytlewski The SXSW Blog
I fought the crowd to see R.E.M. last night, standing for over two hours before the band began playing. Even with my pretty excellent (and hard-earned) vantage, it probably wasn't worth all the effort.
R.E.M. was playing to promote their upcomin

Deep in the Heart of (Liberal) Texas
Evan Rytlewski The SXSW Blog
A few scattered, final thoughts on my time in Austin and SXSW:
• I’ve learned to love the city and its conveniently centralized downtown. There’s so much to do in such a tightly packed area; and for the first time, I can see why anyone woul

Arriving in Austin
Evan Rytlewski The SXSW Blog
I'll be posting periodically to this blog throughout the week (or at least as much as I can, given that I'm hoping to spend more time taking in music than in my hotel room, hunched over my hefty, barely portable laptop.)
Anyway, I just arrived in Au

No Bjorn, No John, Just Peter
Evan Rytlewski The SXSW Blog
I spent a good 14 hours wandering SXSW yesterday, dropping into various venues and tents when something caught my ear. Early in the day, I was enticed by one singer-songwriter with a particularly lovely voice. It turned out to be a familiar one. It belo

Vampire Weekend on a Weekday
Evan Rytlewski The SXSW Blog
SXSW is pretty easy when you have a media badge. By and large, you’ll be let into any show you want. But there are a few hyped shows where press credentials aren’t enough, and perhaps the most hyped of all was yesterday’s from Vampire Weekend, the prepp

The Ringers fulfill their namesake
Justin Krol The SXSW BlogWhen you see 1,000 bands in four days, it becomes very
obvious that some bands are simply just more entertaining than others.The Ringers, based out of Los Angeles, California,
could be described as way more
entertaining than most bands.

Although separated by an ocean and multiple time zones, the Australian Outback bears remarkable resemblance to the American West. Both encompass mesas towering over rocky, dusty deserts shimmering like a mirage under unforgiving sunlight. Whip-snapping co
It can't touch Harry Potter for scope of popularity but in some pockets of pop culture, the Twilight series has reached Beatlemania in intensity. The "young adult" novels about a handsome teenage vampire boy and the mortal girl who loves him have sold 17
No, we didn't ask for an album featuring another recording of "Breathe," leading into "Time," leading into "Breathe (Reprise)," as happens on tracks two through four on Live in Gdansk. But Pink Floyd completists (we are legion) will want it anyway. Howeve
Jorge "El Guero" Hernandez may be the best-known regional Mexican artist with Milwaukee roots. Most of a decade has passed since he and brother Rogelio moved to San Antonio, but El Guero's Banda Centenario still nurtures a unique take on the often-manic D
The last decade has not been kind to Milwaukee’s German restaurants, as names like Ritter’s Inn, the Bavarian Wurst Haus and even the venerable John Ernst have all closed their doors. In fact, only two of the old-timers remain: the oldest, Mad
