Robert. Neko Case. Kelly Hogan. Those are the only four words you need to focus on. You would not be wasting cubits, shekels, yen or anything else. If you doubt me, Google the terms “The Jody Grind” or “Rock*a*teens” and find some of their music.

Jakob Dylan does not get the respect deserving of a moderately talented offspring of a performing legend. And I mean that both tongue-in-cheek AND 100% seriously.

I was going to say that I had seen Hogan and Case performing as the Corn Sisters, but that was actually Carolyn Mark (although Hogan performs on some of their songs). Nonetheless, you should go unless Dylan’s new album is really, really crappy. (Although you should get another chance to see them together, as IIRC Hogan is now a permanent member of Neko Case’s post-Boyfriends backup band.)

Ray has been doing food sponsored parties at SXSW for a few years. And although I can’t stand seeing Ray on tv, her presence at SXSW doesn’t diminish its street cred. For years now, its been a weird combination of record company promotion, indy presence, corporate sponsorship and everything else in the world connected to the music industry. At Ray’s party, held in connection with Mr. and Mrs. T which makes Bloody Mary Mix, there’s also going to be Justin Townes Earle and a whole host of other acts.

I would see it just to see her. She makes crappy artists sound good. Well worth the cubits.

Just a quibble, but Sasquatch is actually in George, Washington. Which matters because it’s a 2 hour drive on a clear day, and a 5 hour drive if it’s a Friday preceding Memorial Day, and there’s an accident on I-90 (as my girlfriend and I discovered last year).

The album is good (T-Bone Burnett produced along with his usual crew of musicians including Jay Bellerose, my favorite drummer in the world) so I would definitely recommend seeing them live.

I’m having this same dilemma. I also had it last summer when the Hold Steady opened for [shudder] the Dave Matthews Band. The $60 tickets made my decision for me. (I don’t know how many cubits that converts to.)
