Watch videos of those selected for SXSW 2014, listen to what The Skinny reckon is hot, and pencil in gig dates for next week. Turn those speakers up!
Tonight’s post is being written as my GTA V game is on pause. You know what this means. It means I’ve picked three things at random that caught my eye today. Music related things anyway. I try not let Putin & Russia’s intolerance of things they don’t understand annoy me too much. Considering how large and powerful Russia is you’d think they’d have more suitable things to be scared of than nature. Maybe they’re overly scared of left-handed people too? Although you think they’d be on the same side as lefties….
Now I that I’ve plummeted to a new comedy low, here’s your new music fix.
1. More than 150 music videos from SXSW 2014 Showcasing Artists are now available on YouTube!
2. A New Weekly Playlist from The Skinny
The Skinny’s Music team select an hour or so of the best new music on Soundcloud, with a focus on forthcoming releases from ground-breaking bands. They call it ‘Cloud Sounds’. Yeah, it does sound like the first thing that popped into their heads but hey, it’s likely to be an excellent choice of weekly tunage.
