It’s here! One of the biggest Austin Chronicle music team efforts of the year – our guide to 80 Essential Acts at #SXSW Music. Got into so many new artists while putting this together! austinchronicle.com/music/2023-03-…

I'm putting my music reporter socks back on for the next five days. Here's a rundown of early SXSW highlights in which I considered a Jeff Tweedy performance that was much deeper than a sponsored SX interactive set would seem to promise. austinchronicle.com/daily/music/20…

Hole in the Wall was bustling when 2 cars collided on Guadalupe and one of them then careened up the sidewalk in front of the venue, pinning the door attendant underneath. A group of people, including Hole's owner who was also hit, lifted the car off him. austinchronicle.com/daily/music/20…

I see plenty of coyotes in my neighborhood, but today, for the first time, I saw a roadrunner dash across Oak Springs road, right into Givens Park. Real Looney Tunes shit in Austin yall.

Hey urinal-lovers, which framed photos do you like to look at the most when you pee-pee at a South Austin venue: the detail shots of corroded plumbing fixtures at Sam’s Town Point or the vintage arial photography of random commercial buildings at Sagebrush?

I believe that life is an investigation. And I believe that a bicycle is the perfect tool to aid in that endeavor. Hop up on my handlebars as we go on an ecstatic 4,000 word journey of bicycling in Austin. On the cover of today’s Austin Chronicle austinchronicle.com/arts/2023-04-2…

Happy Birthday to Willie Nelson, who has more studio records (99) than candles on his cake (90). For the occasion, Austin Chronicle writers broke down their 9 favorite Willie albums. Don't sleep on my pick, the purest Willie listening experience. austinchronicle.com/daily/music/20…

Doesn’t it kinda feel like the Walker, Texas Ranger CW★ should be exclusively license my music in reparations for all the teasing I got as a young texas boy whose parents named me prior to Chucky’s show ? Likes for likes. Please RT.

Who woulda thought? Blaze Foley’s songs being sung in a big ol’ basketball stadium in his town - 34 years after his murder. Billy Strings did impromptu versions of “Cold Cold World” and “Shoulda Been Home.” Real recognize real.

For the rest of 2023, anyone texting me for recs on new music is getting a direct link to B L K O D Y S S Y's DIAMONDS & FREAKS. A concept album on the second record - proof this band is evolving in fast forward. Read my review, via Austin Chronicle, right here. austinchronicle.com/music/2023-06-…

As someone who’s financial plan for the future heavily relies on getting hit by an experimental driverless car and winning a personal injury claim, I was disappointed to realize that they seem to have a 3 foot buffer around them that makes them freeze up. instagram.com/reel/CvB7P_CuQ…

Stuck out in the barn in East Austin when the hail started to hit. The biggest hail stones were the size of a Spaldeen. Broke a bedroom window. Feel for anyone living outside this must have fucked their world up. #hail #Austin

It’s crazy that Rhode Island is a state because, phonetically, it sounds like a Mario Kart course.
