After an initial flight delay that was apparently due to rodents on theplane ("Rodents on a Plane!"), I have touched down in Austin, gearingup for the SXSW festival in Austin, TX. A few of us Wired blogger types will be covering the festival over the next nine days -- first during the Interactive/Film portion, and then during the Music portion as well. You'll be able to find all of that coverage here on Listening Post.
First item: KEXP, the community-funded on- and offline radio station with a legion of fans in the midst of a fund drive, has announced that it will bnroadcast a series of exclusive in-studio performances by some of the hottest bands at the festival. Here's the schedule (you can tune in online at 128 Kbps or higher, if your connection can handle it):
