James Blake rocked tonight with his dark, brooding, soulful bass music at the Central Presbyterian Church (SXSW): http://bit.ly/ibx2Bo

Just saw Julianna Barwick at the Central Presbyterian Church (SXSW). Appropriate since she sounds like a choir of angels. Perfect acoustics!

Just saw Gold Panda play at Mohawk for his SXSW showcase. It was everything I hoped for and more: http://t.co/demqjqa Beans is up next.

There are many Japanese companies and bands at SXSW. I’ve seen lots of them fundraising for earthquake/tsunami relief: http://nyti.ms/dVpOXo

Saw a great documentary yesterday at SXSW Film called “Something Ventured” (about the early venture capitalists): http://bit.ly/eUWdeK

Watching a great experimental set by Text of Light (with Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth & Alan Licht) at Plutopia: http://t.co/JbPARUg

Enjoying SXSW Interactive so far. Lots of good panels and parties! But the disaster in Japan is definitely on my mind: http://nyti.ms/fFXl2U
