SXSW 2010 Recap
My thoughts on the 22 bands I listened to at this year’s South By Southwest Music Festival.
Even better than last year. This British duo practices a perfect mixture of stomping rhythms and gorgeous harmonized vocals. Rebecca Taylor is a powerhouse singer, projecting a lovable blend of brashness and glee.
Another killer live act, this Spanish quintet oozes good times. They shake like the Stones of your imagination, held forever in youth and small-venue fever. Their tunes aren’t the most ambitious, but the guitar rock is tight, and it’ll make you move.
Respect My Authoritay!
It’s hard not to despair when you read stories like this:
Three Seattle police officers were justified when they used a stun gun on a pregnant mother who refused to sign a traffic ticket, a federal appeals court ruled Friday in a case that prompted an incredulous dissent.
As Taser use is normalized, the police seem more and more happy to forcibly shock you for inconveniencing them. Chicago recently extended Tasers to all of their squad cars. I e-mailed the department to inquire about the terms of their use; I haven’t heard back nor do I expect to.
