My Clown Tears

Jeebus. SXSW music fest starts in 2 weeks and I've done very little to prepare. I'm guessing you don't really give a crap about my opinion anyway knowing that I'm spending more time coaching 9 year old soccer and slinging code than listening to music and following the latest trends in music.

But hey, if you are a soccer mom that's working too damn hard I know you'll get all a twittery when you see my picks...you're the demographic I want to hit!

(That and old, bitter punks who are sick of the lame ass folk, emo, elecetonica crap that's putting me in a deep, deep trance. Is anyone left awake out there? Hello music people, I have something to....zzzzzz...)

Huh? Arunk??? What was I saying....ah yes crappy trends rearing their ugly heads at SXSW, I'm noticing way more Hip Hop, way more electonica, and way more mellow ass crap that makes me sleepy. Maybe that's why I'm not falling all over....ZZZZZZ

Wait...what's this? A funk, soul, assplosion of something ass-shaking to awake the inner fire of musical inspiration and joy. Yes, Friday at the Music Hall! We're saved! Hallelujah!

- Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears 8:00 p.m. Austin TX Rock
- Raphael Saadiq 9:00 p.m. Los Angeles CA Rock
- Smokey Robinson 10:00 p.m. Los Angeles CA R&B
- Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings 11:30 p.m. Brooklyn NY R&B

Damn! Really? Smokey Robinson? That's some throw down, Motown, Rock and Roll hall of fame shit right there. This clown's tears just might get dried up.

And just so you don't think I'm only spewing the obvious stuff here's the odd ball pick of the day

Fishtank Ensemble Friday 11PM at the Amsterdam Cafe

More gypsy rock must be heard!
