SXSW Countdown: 1 Week Till Texas!

It's the final countdown! And the invites for most of my favorite parties are out: American Rag/Filter, Levi's/Fader, and IHEARTCOMIX (is Vice not saving Texas this year??). I RSVP'd for the IHEARTCOMIX party last year, but it got bust-ed before the official showcases had even ended. Here's hoping this year's different. At least this year it's downtown (aka easily accessible). And check this out:

DIPLO - MATT & KIM - SWITCH - DROP THE LIME - SIMIAN MOBILE DISCO (DJ SET) - CUT COPY - THE TOXIC AVENGER -

A-aaaaaaaannd...

COMPLIMENTARY BEVERAGES - 2 POOLS - 4 STAGES - HEARTSCHALLENGER ICE CREAM TRUCK - FIREPIT - VIDEO GAMES - SHUFFLE BOARD - LIVE VIDEO ART BY DEMONBABIES - EVERYONEISFAMOUS.COM - PHOTOBOOTH - LOUNGE - LOCATED IN DOWNTOWN AUSTIN - BBQ - MORE!

No wonder I've had Deichkind's "Remmidemmi" stuck in my head the past week and a half. ESP.



For those of you who don't know German, here's a loose translation...

Your parents are away at a tennis tournament?
You're throwing a party? How nice of you.
Impulsive people know no bounds.
Throw the furniture out the window,
We need some dance space.

Yippie yipiie yeah, yipiie yeah, riot and ruckus
Yippie yipiie yeah, yipiie yeah, riot and ruckus
Yippie yipiie yeah, yipiie yeah, riot and ruckus
Yippie yipiie yeah, yipiie yeah, riot and ruckus

A little gold and silver,
a little bling bling.
Don't you have anything to eat here?
I want pizza.
Your mother said "Don't track so much dirt into the house".
In the picture in the kitchen she looks like Katja Ebstein.

Yippie yipiie yeah, yipiie yeah, riot and ruckus
Yippie yipiie yeah, yipiie yeah, riot and ruckus
Yippie yipiie yeah, yipiie yeah, riot and ruckus
Yippie yipiie yeah, yipiie yeah, riot and ruckus

We're dancing on the tables.
The vibe is shitty.
I wanna be naked.
You can refresh yourself in the pool.
Gonna to take your Dad's speakers into the sauna with me.
Gonna the pour water on the stones with the maid.
And then I'm gonna turn it up.

Yippie yipiie yeah, yipiie yeah, riot and ruckus
Yippie yipiie yeah, yipiie yeah, riot and ruckus
Yippie yipiie yeah, yipiie yeah, riot and ruckus
Yippie yipiie yeah, yipiie yeah, riot and ruckus

Hey, don't be such a yuppie, man.
We just wanna experience something.
In the private home of rich parents, what could be better?
