[Updated on March 6, 2006] I doubt this playlist will win 'pick' status, but I will say that it represents what will be a pretty wickedly exciting weekend!!! If all goes according to plan (and when I actually look at a map, the venues where these artists are playing at aren't too far apart), this is what I'm aiming to see while down in the lovely city of Austin. There were tough choices...there are many bands which I will have to save for another day, since lots of really good stuff is going on at 12:00am on Friday and Saturday. Who knew...? Anyway, I've linked up to their sxsw website pages, but for the ones that do not have music listed on that page, search 'em on myspace - I checked those ones out there and all of them have songs available for streaming. Enjoy!! I know I will...WOOOHOOO!!!

UPDATE: Belle and Sebastian has been added to the top of the list because they are performing at a later time than I thought they were, so now I get to actually go see them!!!! I'm so excited I can hardly think straight! [-]
