So this is it, the initial line up, my motivation to look both ways and not get run over for the next three months, but is it true? Can it be true? Sure Interpol isn’t Smashing Pumpkins or The White Stripes and they will have a new album to push but will they really play SXSW or pull out like all the other mother fuckers on a major label? One can only hope. Of course if they play I will be able to see them for the millionth time but life was just a lot better when they were on Matador. I have been worried since the switch that this third album will be the sequel to my lifetime Weezer nightmare. Of course Antics isn’t Pinkerton but they are well on their way to prove $$$ signs count over talent and integrity.
But going along with my New Years resolution I must convince myself that their third full length is going to blow my mind, that they won’t pull out of the festival and somehow one of the Capitol peeps will come through and I will get to share my thoughts and feelings from the past three years with the band so that they don’t pull a Rivers on me.
As for the rest of the line up Bloc Party will definitely make me happy as long as Panic doesn’t tag along as they have been and you can’t go wrong with Cold War Kids. I have also heard rumors that Snowden shall be attending, a band who wouldn’t pull out and who I think is amazing and sadly left out of a lot of the best of ‘06 lists. Despite my accommodation at the Rodeway Inn I think it should be a good SXSW .
