Hey, in case you forgot and/or were living under a rock, SXSW 2009 starts tomorrow (March 18), and therefore, for the next 5 days, the center of the music universe will temporarily reside in Austin. But have no fear, by Monday next, things will be back to normal, and New York will regain its proper place at the center of all things musical. Until then however, if you’re in Texas and you haven’t figured out what to do for the next few days, here are a couple of a links you might find useful:
