    No idea. Only just found it had been released so haven't downloaded anything yet. I'd suggest having a look through the interactive guide and maybe listen to some that seem interesting…..

    Personally I'm going to be flying to Europe in a few weeks, so might go through it then during the 30 hours of mind-boggling boredom, in a pathetic attempt to drown out the screams of the other tortured souls on the 'plane suffering in the cheap seats with me…..

    I'm a fan of Methyl Ethyl, who are a local Perth band. I think they've had some airplay on triple J.

    I've noticed that Viola Beach are also in the mix, who are famous for being that band that drove off the bridge…

    *Edit: Just remembered that my favourite band at the moment played SXSW this year. I'm waiting for Telstra's free data day to download the compilation, but I highly, highly recommend checking out Hinds if they are in there. Best description I can think of for them is girly grunge pop.

  That point in your life when you realise you're older than the "in" crowd… Too young for golf, too old to know music. Sheesh

    No one knows any of the artists at SXSW. That's the whole point. This is the ultimate festival for people who love to tell you about the artists they love that no one else has heard of.

  There was a curated list last year that had ~ 100 songs I think.
  Have to admit, there were some great songs in there.

  … Not sure I want to sample 1,593 songs this year though! Maybe if I wait long enough, someone else will curate a new list!

    Me neither. waits for some kind soul to curate

      I think NPR did it last year…

      This might give some people a head start:

  I see that all the good band names were taken by the late 1970s.

  Hmm, why does the site say "The (UNOFFICIAL) SXSW Torrents" if it's supposed to be legit?

  In the meantime I'll defer downloading.

  been listening to this the last few days. some awesome music . some average music. some crap music.

  some music which you sort of like and would like to hear other stuff from the artist in case they make something that is more of the stuff you like.

  Palm Springs by Astronautica is a stand out song in my books so far.
