Pitchfork

We swear we don't actively try to overwhelm our readers with content. But we totally understand if sometimes you can't keep up with quite everything that comes across your RSS reader from this website-- particularly last week, when a bunch of your faithful Pitchforkers journeyed to Austin, Texas for the annual SXSW extravaganza, where we cold binged on live music and embraced our inner insomniacs.

A half-dozen of us also contributed photo-bedecked daily reports to the site, links to which we've happily compiled below for your reference. Whether you want to revisit a particular day, focus on a specific writer's musings, read up on the bands that most interest you, or count how many different ways we can say we <3 Robyn, consider this your jump-off point.

Lists of our personal top five favorite SXSW performances from Pitchfork's SXSW posse follow below as well. And away we go....
