Covering Music, Film and Pop Culture
I’ve been to a lot of music festivals, but I’d never been to Austin Psych Fest before this weekend.
In many ways the festival felt a lot more hippie and a lot less corporate than a lot of music festivals.
(It would be harder to get much more corporate than South By Southwest or the Austin City Limits Music Fesival!)
It might be the 6th year of the Austin Psych Fest, but I’ve never been to the party. However, I have seen some of the bands who are playing at the festival play in the past, and I’m looking forward to seeing them play again this weekend!
Austin Psych Fest is this weekend, April 26-28 2013, at Carson Creek Ranch.
If you are, er, directionally challenged like me, this should strike fear into your heart. Or at least get you to add an extra hour into your festival planning!
The annual South By Southwest festival is a lot like the Indian parable of three blind men describing an elephant: one man, feeling the tail, describes the elephant as, “Thin, like a rope.”...

When I heard the Flaming Lips were playing a SXSW show at Auditorium Shores, I couldn’t help think about the last time that the Flaming Lips played a large show in Austin.
Back in 2010, I was working on a column about people with disabilities at the Austin City Limits Music Festival. I ran across Wayne Coyne, the lead singer of the Flaming Lips in the festival’s media area. He was waiting for an interview with MTV, I was trying to stay in the shade so I didn’t melt.
I’m thrilled to bring you my very first guest post on this site, written by my very, very clever friend Robert Arjet. When he hinted at this take on a Super Bowl commercial on social media, I invited him to write the post below!

I’m a big fan of the Super Bowl commercials. That means that every year, after the game, I get involved in discussions about the best and the worst and (sadly) the most offensive. This year I was participating in a Facebook comment thread about the pointing out the gender issues of Audi’s Superbowl ad, and someone else said one of the things that just gets right under my skin during conversations like this. They said: “You’re thinking about it waaaay too much.”
My friend Josh Jordan did this poster for a version of “A Christmas Carol” by his Red Door Theatre Company.
