It’s been about a month since I returned from SXSW and thought that it might be interesting to highlight some more music that I’ve fallen for since coming back.

Jason Lytle, from the band Grandaddy, performed a couple of songs for NPR from his soon-to-be-released solo record.  I also saw him perform in Austin, and the show was great – a nice intimate show at a church!  Since coming back and listening to him a little more, I’m definitely excited for his new record.

The Shout Out Out Out Out’s performed at the Canadian Blast BBQ, that I attended but decided to leave early and missed their performance.  Hearing them now, I’m very disappointed that I missed the show.

I’ve seen Bonnie “Prince” Billy’s records at my favourite music store for a while now, but only now have a strong appreciation for his music. He was the guest DJ on my favourite radio podcast, and after listening to the show I’ve added him to my list of favourites.

I didn’t see these guys perform, but I did buy their most recent record when I was in Austin and love it.  This album is definitely in high-rotation on my iPod.
