I’m
happy to bring my Severe List back- The hottest buzz acts of SXSW ’10. Although
this time was quite challenging as the quality of acts this year is
significantly higher. We may have hit an industry low/recession but the
talent/inspiration is stronger than ever. I’m also proud to say I’m a veteran of
SXSW having gone for several years although lost count after the 12th time.

 

Everyone’s
SXSW is their own unique experience as there’s a million things simultaneously
and even if you plan to see something it gets so overwhelming,chances are
you’ll miss it. Here’s an overview that I advise you to print out and keep
close to your hip.   My pick of the
crop.

 

Great
to see Barbados here for the first time doing a showcase and bringing execs over
here-

Also-
Israel
has a strong presence this year- Israel’s inaugural year participating with a
stand and cocktail party. 11 or so acts are coming in to perform.

 

I’m
partial to Barbados and Israel having been many times.
