SXSW is a festival in Austin, Texas next month in which 2000 bands will play over four nights.  792 of those bands have made mp3s available to the public on the SXSW website.  Information on how you can hear all those tracks is now available to you on Now I’ve Heard Everything by clicking here.

Kelly Willis lives down in Austin and I first got to see her in person at SXSW 2007.  I’m constantly amazed by her voice.  Her song, I Have Not Forgotten You, was originally released on Kelly’s album, What I Deserve, about a dozen years ago.  The song deals with a relationship that did not end in acrimony; and her performance of it from 2000 is still great and available for you to view by clicking here.
