That To Which We Are Listening: the 3-11-14 Edition
Shiri is listening to:
As mentioned previously, Luke turned me onto the Pop Culture Happy Hour podcast earlier this year (one of many excellent NPR selections). One of the regulars on PCHH, Stephen Thompson, is also an editor at NPR Music and one of his yearly duties is, apparently, to compile the Austin 100 Mix, a sample showcase for the various artists 
performing (some of them possibly right… NOW!) at this year’s South by Southwest (SXSW) Festival (to which I swear I will someday go). In NPR music’s far more professional words:
“Every year, more than 2,000 acts swarm to SXSW — and every year, NPR Music painstakingly handpicks 100 of the music festival’s best discoveries for a downloadable six-hour sampler. We call it The Austin 100, and it’s virtually guaranteed to contain something you’ll love that you didn’t know existed.
For the next 30 days, you can download The Austin 100 from this page — either song by song, or with one click, in its 839 MB entirety — as well as stream it as a continuous mix, both here and through NPR Music’s various mobile apps.”
Hence my new iTunes playlist.
Hooray for music!
