Oh boy, I get to teach our jr. high Sunday School class about Paul on the road to Damascus this week. (/sarcasm)  Paul is one of my least favorite figures in the Bible… I’m hoping the kids get me way off-topic and we end up chatting about their school life instead.

Lessons From SXSW 2013: Take The Middle Road : The Record : NPR

At the second of her two Austin shows, Friday night at the Central Presbyterian Church, Maines looked ultra-modern in a pompadour haircut and all black clothes. What mattered more was the confidence she found within a new band led by Harper in a set that included covers of songs by Vedder, The Jayhawks, Dan Wilson and others, as well as a couple of catchy originals.

Although the closing guitar duel between Harper on lap steel and Maines’s father Lloyd on pedal steel was fun, the set’s crowning moment came when she dared to try a version of the late Jeff Buckley’s “Lover, You Should Have Come Over.” That sweeping ballad’s technical difficulty is enhanced by the challenge of living up to Buckley’s vocal, which hit otherworldly heights. Fully committing herself, Maines scaled the song’s tricky melody like a free mountain climber, hitting notes that seemed to defy any scale. Immersed in the music, unconcerned about whether she was living up to anyone’s definition of success, Maines presented us with the privilege of witnessing her own internal process of rediscovery.

Natalie Maines with Lloyd Maines, Ben Harper and friends, “Take It On Faith” (live at SXSW at Central Presbyterian Church)

This was also amazeballs (the slide-guitar duel at the end, especially).

Natalie Maines, “Mother.”

I’d already signed up to volunteer the late shift Friday night during SXSW at my church, and this lady has been added to the lineup.  Yippee!

My sis pointed out today that I haven’t been posting much on Tumblr in recent days, and it won’t improve anytime soon.  I imagine I’ll be on Twitter during the fest because I can tweet from my phone.  Since Tumblr is slightly finicky on my Kindle, I likely won’t be checking in here much til the festival ends (except to link to stuff I write for Slackerwood).

Also, I’m moving to South Austin the weekend after the fest!

My March will be in-SAHN.

SXSW schedule for Central Presbyterian Church

So far I’m not that impressed with the musical acts here so far … but the schedule’s still being built, so perhaps things will improve.

Names I recognize (this doesn’t mean I listen to them):

  • Gaby Moreno
  • Ryan Bingham
  • Indians
  • Sea Wolf
  • Butch Walker
  • Devandra Banhart

So, yeah. I may not be volunteering much at my church this time.

Hey, it’s my church! I was sitting in the “Grace” balcony to the R. They played a few songs from Lost and Gone Forever so that made me happy.  [Everything Is Big in Texas | Guster Road Journal]

Good Old War, “Amazing Eyes” (acoustic).

I’d never heard of this band before they performed at my church late Friday night.  Two-thirds of the sanctuary had emptied out after Ingrid Michaelson (who was wonderful live, my favorite concert of the year so far), so the trio played to an intimate crowd.  

For most of their set they were hooked up to the sound system and sounded great — their harmonies are entrancing! But then they stepped down off the stage and performed a few songs acoustically and it was even better.  I ran into one of the guys backstage afterwards and told him how good they sounded.

Now I’m listening to their new album on Spotify.

It's possible SXSW 2012 just peaked with the return of Fiona Apple – Telegraph Blogs

Wherein my church is called “a legendary SXSW venue.” At one point of last night’s concert, I seriously thought Ms. Apple was going to jump on top of the church’s piano. It was a powerful performance, for sure.

gretchenalice replied to your link: A Fine Frenzy is playing my church at SXSW!
You guys get the best acts.

This year, for reals. I can’t recall who all played last year (besides Cults, whom I didn’t see); I only volunteered one night and the band I wanted to see — Midlake — was just backing some guy up, and I left in the middle of that show.

But in past years I’ve been able to see Band of Horses, M. Ward (returning to CPC for Wednesday’s SXSW showcase, but I’ll pass), and Duncan Sheik (who mostly played songs from “Spring Awakening”) among others.

A Fine Frenzy is playing my church at SXSW!

I am now planning to volunteer THREE nights in a row during SXSW. Yes, this is insane and I will likely regret it afterwards. BUT:

  • Thursday: Fiona Apple
  • Friday: Ingrid Michaelson
  • Saturday: A Fine Frenzy

I can’t pass them up!

Also, Train is the last act playing at our venue. “Hey Soul Sister” will be sung in our sanctuary. This makes me simultaneously giggle and groan.
