Austin 100: Rozi Plain, “Actually”

“Actually” has powerful melodic and rhythmic hooks. The London songwriter’s bright, unassuming voice balances her song’s ambling groove, rolling its way to Austin next week.

...then there's this, which, as I said about Lowell earlier, just fucking rocks. It drives along relentlessly, packed with attitude, clever lyrics and a perfect, half-sung delivery. The more I hear of Courtney Barnett, the more I want to hear the album. And I wish I'd caught her co-headlining tour with San Fermin last year. It's got a really cool video too.

Austin 100

Oh!  And if anyone likes indie rock / music, there's this think called the Austin 100 which is described thusly:

"Every year, more than 2,000 acts swarm to SXSW — and every year, NPR Music painstakingly handpicks 100 of the music festival's best discoveries for a downloadable six-hour sampler."

You can download all 100 songs!  Legally, too!  But only until April 2nd!

Though I'd share. C:
