I haven’t been very diligent listening to the SXSW torrents this year, but my schedule is already plenty packed: my current SCHED. (My SXSWi is much less structured; primarily planning on catching up with old friends).

Anyway, before things get officially crazy this week (I head into Austin on Thursday), I made a little share a quick and dirty playlist of some of the bands I’m most excited about catching live:

• Fresh Millions – Hot New Jam from ’73
• Twin Shadow – At My Heels
• Kevin Devine – I Could Be With Anyone
• These United States – Honor Amongst Thieves
• Dom – Living in America
• GOLD PANDA – Rush Job
• Teen Daze – Bobby’s Almost Here
• Andreya Triana – A Town Called Obsolete (Album Version)
• James Blake – Limit To Your Love
• Owen Pallett – Export 3 (The great elsewhere)
• Geographer – Caught A Fire
• Maritime – We Don’t Think, We Know
• Oberhofer – o0O0o0O0o

Bonus Track: Not playing at SXSW, but I just stumbled on a great track that Quantic spun at his set last year:
Nicolas Jaar – Mi Mujer (Wolf + Lamb 2010) by Clown and Sunset
