The CV SXSW liveblog: Day 4

12:09 - Phew, last day. Free food!

1:53 - at ny2lon. Just got some eggs at the musebox thing across the street.  Datarock is so much better today than yesterday. Trying to squeeze in a lot between 3 and 6. Fratelis, polyphonic spree, hot club de paris, straylight run. Here's hoping everything is still running on time.

5:31 - internet on the sidekick has been spotty all day., but to recap: fretelis were acoustic and pretty good. I'm curious what brit rock sounded like before the libertines tho. Oasis? Er..the beatles? From there I got to catch Joey pick of the week hot club DE Paris (pictured above), who I dug a lot. Future heads meets minus the bear? The stuff on my space does not do them justice. Now I'm at hot freaks! Waiting for the polyphonic spree to go on. Before getting snick in by Dodge, got dragged into being interviewed for NY noise by westvirginianvegan.aim pages.com. Well see how that turns out. OK, P. Spree coming on in their black parade outfits. G.

8:28 - big bowls of cheese at Gueros.

9:04 - in a taxi, coming from Gueros, with interior blue neon lighting, a superstoned driver (we're her first fare!) and cabana music. You think cabs like this only exist in pornos and video games, but no...

10:41 - After accidentally consuming them together, Crunk definitely tastes exactly like sour worms. I have a case of Crunk in my hotel room from the BV party on Thursday.

12:06 - Vice party at the elk lodge on the outskirts of town. There's wood paneling everywhere and Darin and Joey are playing shuffleboard with Les Savy Fav. Whatever. Nice patio with a view of the city.

2:21 - LSF performing @ the elk lounge! This is a fun rumor come true. Say what you will about vice, but they manage to make a sexy and brightly lit elk lounge into a pretty rad and oddly appropriate spot. Harrington just said a wall collapsed or something and the cops are coming so they wanna get start playing soon.

2:34 - after half a song, the cops show and the music cuts. An entire actual wall collapsed on the side of the lodge. Off that nice patio. Nobody was hurt, but everyone had to leave. Obviously. Walking back to the hotel now.

by the way, I head-butted Darin by mistake for saying live blog out loud at a party. He wanted me to admit that on here, so...there you go.

3:40 - Long walk back to the hotel. I smell like a fireplace (there was one burning at the lodge). Tomorrow I'll go back and add links and picks to all this. Bed now.

Who knew indian nuggets could work so well in cab decor. I had to google them to see if she was for real.
