    SXSW 2025

    Well, SXSW desperately tried to control non-conference bookings in the early days. During the first few years they would "prohibit" bands from playing gigs in Austin within a few weeks of their showcase. That slowly fell apart. Then they tried to keep bands from playing non-sanctioned showcases during the conference itself. That slowly fell apart. Too many big draws just told them to fuck off. So, at this point, "SXSW" showcases are typically lame and pale in comparison to the private shows going on with bigger bands at either rogue outlets or off hours. I don't think the music is going away, SXSW Music is going away because it has almost nothing to offer the average music consumer. Let's put the blame right at the (original) top -- Louis Black and Roland Swenson, two dickheads who were determined to get rich, and who pretty much did, at the expense of musicians.
  2. Dude it's a message board. We're on the same side. I just thought it was funny. And you are super duper Grade A USDA Jumbo combative (as are many of us). Chill. More games coming. Hook'em.
  3. So your hard stand based on "what the committee said yesterday" didn't hold?
  4. Do you understand why this is the most incredibly stupid argument ever? Jesus Christ I know you're a smart guy. CONFERENCES ARE DIFFERENT.
  5. One time our office pool was won by a dude's wife who picked every game by color/mascot. She admittedly knew nothing about basketball.
  6. OK, this is getting ridiculous. How is that assessed? Mind you, I don't give a fuck, RT is now gone, I'm happy with that, but holy crap these metrics are getting way too arcane.
  7. WTF is "Wins Above Bubble"?
  8. You're going to have to be more specific.
  9. Did he just call us the Aggies?
  10. It was right fucking there. I'd select it and it would say "not started yet". I'm not an idiot (debateable). Anyway, onward.
  11. Well, then I have no idea why I can get this game on ESPN+ but not the earlier one. I thought the fact that the earlier one was on TV might have been the key. Anyway, back to baseball.
  12. We stayed at Rosemary Beach once. Nice and quiet, but holy shit our apartment was tiny. Above a garage, small living room & kitchen with crazy steep stairs to a loft with room to sleep four "adults". You get what you pay for, I suppose, which was about $450/night. Nice "private" beach, though.
  13. I'm getting this one on ESPN+. I wonder if they blank it out if your provider sub has SEC Network?
  14. Well, the HR was kinda big.
  15. God the SEC suckfest by the announcers gets old.
  16. That's an ESPN highlight catch!
  17. Oh YEAH Max! Way to absolve yourself!
  18. What fresh hell is this umpire meeting about? MSU bitchassedness no doubt.
  19. Man, what do you have against Laura Linney?
  20. Some would say Stiles Switch. I haven't had them all, but I've had that one, and it's fantastic.
  21. Josh Pastner did exactly that this morning on ESPN.
