Thursday, Day Two, was my first day on random international band watch. I decided to head to some international showcases. My first stop was at the German Wunderbar lunch at Parkside Restaurant, where DJs Apparat, Bonaparte, Coma, Touchy Mob and more spun tues.
Thursday Bruce Springsteen delivered the keynote address at the SXSW Music conference. Since The Boss is one of the most contentious perennial debates on Sound Opinions, I asked hosts Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot to weigh in on the speech. Will Jim rip it to shreds?
Always an extremely catholic artist in every sense of that word, like many Americans, Bruce Springsteen is becoming increasingly religious as he grows older.
