OTBKB Music: A Busy Week, A Song for Mardi Gras, The Knack’s Doug Fieger Dies and Win Free Passes to SXSW

There’s a lot going on this week and it’s all covered over at Now I’ve Heard Everything.  First, there is good music you can see every night this week.  Check out the calendar here.

Tomorrow is Mardi Gras in New Orleans and in honor of both, you can download a new version of Iko Iko by former Brooklynite and current New Orleans resident Kristin Diable here.

If you were around in the late 70s, you no doubt heard the song My Sharona by The Knack.  Their lead singer and rhythm guitarist Doug Fieger died over the weekend at a way too young 57.  See a video of My Sharona here.

Finally, the South By Southwest Music Conference and Festival (SXSW) is coming on March 17 to Austin Texas.  You could attend it for free; details here.
