[Jandek] SXSW?/Jandek at the library

[Mr. Fang]

Lady Sovereign gets my vote for most overrated artist of the year so
far.  Instead I'll be checking out Whitehouse, and maybe the
Tigerbeat6 showcase.  Some fine locals are playing as well, including
The Octopus Project (fun, punchy electro-rock) and One Umbrella
(noise/drone).
