The 2005 SXSW (South by SouthWest) festivals + conferences in Austin, Texas. It’s a ten day Music & Media Conference and a intereactive technology festival and a film conference & festival! Over 1300 musical acts! It’s been happening in some form or another since 1987 growing and adding additional conferences…
Are you sad you missed it too? Well you can download over 750 songs (in one huge bittorrent) by some of the bands there (full-length high quality mp3s). It’s 2.6 GB so be prepared to leave your computer running for a while (I can’t promise how long this download will be available).
Yeah, had the pleasure of attending this year’s SXSW in Austin…but the problem is, there is so much and really 8 days just isn’t enough. I really wanted to catch a lot of the music and wasn’t able to…I caught the film aspect more. You can check out my site for that coverage. But I’m glad someone has some music from the festival as well…thanks!
