SXSW 2008 posted 764 songs for free download in February. I've just completed listening to them, and have kept 459 of the tracks. Here's my top 5 from the last 200.
Anna Leigh - The Sadies: Alt-folk train song. Yep, I'm a sucker for a train song.
Crucifixed - Mitra: I'm not the biggest fan of the darker side of metal, but these Dallas-based sons-of-fun manage to keep the noise melodic and structured.
Empire - Kaddisfly: A progressive, experimental, reggae-styled workout. Clever without being pretentious.
The Next Big Thing - Cliff Eberhardt: A gruff, world-weary voice, backed by stark acoustic guitar and a Hammond/Leslie organ.
Pale Bride - The Von Bondies: The 'Bondies only do one song. But it is a good one.
