Yeah, I've checked out every tid bit of SXSW that SPIN (which is my primary form of music news and I recommend everyone subscribe and get email notifications of new e-zine news. Love it!) has been covering, including the above mentioned.
My big happy at the moment is Dave Grohl's Sound City. I'm looking forward to watching it in it's entirety. I've been reading the bits since SPIN started interviews with Grohl about the rockumentary. I've been a Grohl fan (not a gushing one. I do have my pride, GAWD!) for a long time, but now he is of Rock Hero status and I think 2013 is going to be his big year of great notoriety. And let's face it, he's a fricken cool guy.
Things I've noticed in new rock news: The term "time repeats it's self" is very prevalent at the moment. I think we're on the cusp of another grunge uprising. But god forbid they call it grunge. They're calling it everything but grunge, lol. And I'll be honest, I'm not disappointed at all, even though I'm "supposed to be" too old for that now. Fuck that, I love noise rock. Helmet has been 50% of my listening enjoyment in the past couple weeks. I think Page Hamilton is the man! Don't be surprised if you hear some drop C riffs and power rhythms from me in the future. Page inspired me to do an original BLT song for the first time in almost 2 years. Love it! Love it! Love it!
