The lineup for the South By Southwest showcase hosted by “America’s favorite cook and indie music lover” Rachael Ray–yes, it’s really happening!–has been finalized: “Join us at this merging of great food and even better music with performances by Autovaughn, The Ravonettes, The Cringe, Scissors For Lefty, The Stills, and Holy *&%$. DJ Efren ‘Pedro’ Ramirez from Napoleon Dynamite will be DJ-ing inside.” Is Efren Ramirez’s classification as a “celebrity DJ” the grandest sign yet that said trend has been left out way past its shelf date or what?

Someone needs to ask Rachael Ray what, say, her favorite Raveonettes songs are. That’d help allay the skepticism.
@MickFNS: yep, my sister and her girlfriend has the misfortune to be at a club where they where a act at. Miss Ray was apparently a raving bitch to boot, diva-ing it up while she was there. All the other bands performing that night where ecstatic when her and her husbands band left.
i just saw someone on brooklynvegan.com refer to rachael ray as ‘dorito boobs.’ what does that even mean?? (and why do i read brooklynvegan’s comments section anyway?)
Christ she’s hot…
@Maura Johnston: I’ve heard people who use too much tanner or bronzer referred to as having dorito skin, so maybe she uses a lot of bronzer on her boobs? I am officially thinking too much about this.
@MickFNS: Rachael’s husband, singer for the so-aptly named Cringe, also runs Watch Entertainment–the company responsible for this very showcase.
Talent will get you nowhere.
The Cringe is her husband’s band. Excellent name, considering. But they suck as much she does.
Holy *&%$ is right.
My mom found out I comment here, came by for my old vinyl copies of “Power, Corruption and Lies” and “Trans-Europe Express” and went off to spin at a L’Eighties Night in YOUR area!
I had the (mis)fortune of seeing Rachael Ray at the South Beach Wine & Food Festival. Judging by the swarm of Rachael Ray talk show people there, I’m pretty sure that SXSW is in danger of becoming known to 30- and 40-something housewives.
@qyntellspitbull: My mind is trapped in the paradox. There’s no way that Rachel Ray’s handlers would allow her connect to connect herself with a band named… THAT, so it must be real. Still, this Rachel Ray we’re talking about, so it MUST be a staged promo event.
Unless Rachel is some sort of closet freak behind the bland exterior (see: Norah Jones), my mind cannot make sense of this bill.
