SXSW 2009 Schedule Is Alive

SXSW 2009 Schedule Is Alive

OK, live music nerds, it's time for that yearly ritual: browse the millions of bands on this year's SXSW schedule then get a little overwhelmed, then calm down then make a mental note of the hundred-or-so bands you want to see then make a sort-of itinerary that you will only follow 50 percent (tops) once you actually get down to Austin.

But let's not jump ahead just yet. This year's SXSW Music Festival will take place March 18-22 and you can now browse the whole line-up, show-by-show, from Wednesday to Thursday to Friday to Saturday to Sunday.

Right now we're still trying to make sense of the schedule ourselves, but we'll have a complete and thorough Pitchfork Guide to SXSW 2009 in due time. Until then, feel free to peruse some of our jokes about bad SXSW band names here and here.
