Six-Word Reviews of 1,302 SXSW Mp3s

by Paul Ford

In anticipation of the South by Southwest music festival, which begins today in Austin, Texas, more than a thousand acts—almost twice as many as last year—offered an mp3 to showcase their sound. We listened to them all.

Many bands appearing in Austin did not release mp3s directly to SXSW; only those bands that did so were reviewed. The data used to create this table is available in a Google Spreadsheet. The reviews and ratings are available for re-use under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 United States license; no claim is made over any of the other data therein, which was acquired by web-scraping and from the unofficial torrents.

Note: Steve Burns of Steve Burns (& the Struggle) is my friend; more specifically, I have controlled his mind. It would not be ethical for me to review his song, so I have asked him to contribute his own rating and review.

For brevity, I kept each review to exactly six words.

Note Last year a singer from [a Pitchfork-beloved-band] wrote in to say that he liked my six-word reviews. I was excited because I, in turn, liked his music. Thus I macked all over him and wrote him too many chatty emails. The conversation wound down. Finally he wrote: “I’m going to follow your feed.” I’ve been enjoying that all year. It’s a classy brush-off. One day I am going to be locked into a conversation I’d like to escape and I will say, “you know, I’ve loved talking with you, but I have to go. But don’t worry; I’m going to follow your feed.”

Essay (1/3) Imagine the historical network of musicians. The synth player in this roots-rock band who also appears in that electrothrash outfit with the vocalist who played cello in the college ensemble along with the violinist who now leads a struggling new music quartet in Berlin. His double-bass player (constantly late to rehearsal) once, while a graduate student in Paris, belonged to a three-man jazz group that performed wearing straw hats in restaurants. Examine the promotional copy for the bands at SxSW, the opening-group credits and past-band affiliations. It’s two steps from Andy White to Odetta, and from there you can go forever.

Quote They profit from the creators; they profit from the middlemen; they profit from the patrons, and they profit from the consumers. And now that the City of Austin is a “partner,” they profit directly in the form of tax credits from the citizens of Austin. Quite the profitable enterprise there. Think about this on Sunday, as you look upon the disillusioned band begging gas money to get back to Minnesota or the filmmaker hitchhiking back to Oregon with a backpack full of their unwatched DVDs. They won’t be attending the SxSW barbecue and softball tourney with all of the badged hipper-than-thou Important People, and no one from SxSW will be there to “support” their art after Saturday night when the final bank deposit rolls away from the convention center in that armored truck. — Randy Kirchhof

Essay (2/3) So go further back. Our double-bass player, were he sufficiently musically promiscuous while in Paris, is likely only seven or eight degrees of musical separation from Grapelli or even, say, Liszt, who was student of Carl Czerny, who had been student of Beethoven. Keep it up and soon you’re in Republican Rome listening to someone strum a kitara, or hearing the flutes among the pyramids. If you continue traversing the network backwards in time all of the faces become question marks, and the sound is lost. Chanting shepherds, humming huntsmen, women by a fire making up lullabies for their nursing babies. No one invented it. As long as there is history there is music in the record, and history didn’t invent it. Music, as Wikipedia told me, is just sound over time. The line, the network, must be there reaching from these imaginary primitives humming in their caves to anyone on stage this week in Austin.

Essay (3/3) Remember the social network of musicians reaching into the past? That idea works even better for the audience. We have been assembling into groups and watching things as long as we have been conscious. The audience is a fluid, nearly infinite, thing. To see one show is to be in the presence of people who have seen thousands of other shows, to swim a great node-and-line sea that connects us to everyone who ever was entertained while in a group. I think too often the audience is heeded as a kind of mob, perhaps a smart or useful mob. But it is not honored, cherished. Everyone—Sony, Apple, pundits criticizing Sony and Apple—seems to believe that they can predict our behavior. Or they—the pundits are bad here—insist that the audience must turn heel and start to produce content itself. It’s not just that there will be no more rock stars and journalists because of computer networks. We must now all, because of computer networks, be journalists and rock stars. But thank God for the audience, which is indifferent to that line of argument, and which seeks crafted pleasures and will always. To be in an audience is to lean back and watch, to revel in perception. Nearly all of the thousands of egos on stage this week in Austin will experience a moment of terror before going onto the stage, worried that this time they will fail in our judgment. Outside of your dressing room the ghosts of every audience stretching back through time stand in anticipation. It is a primal moment of judgment. So you, as performer, should be terrified. Your audience marveled at Wagner; saw the Beatles at Shea; listened to the horns before a chariot race. If they decide to get their news from poems, they will.

Note Indie bands have started clapping, and electroclash groups have become ever-more reliant on the 808 handclap.

But repeated often enough handclaps are hell. They are the musical equivalent to tiny lizards biting off your eyebrows.
