SXSW is in full-swing, and there are tons of musical acts to see while avoiding Vampire Weekend [dammit there's two promises already broken -- ed.]: the Black Crowes, My Morning Jacket, Spoon, Ice Cube, Sia, N.E.R.D., Yo La Tengo, X and Ryan Cabrera. Yes, residents and visitors to Austin, Ryan Cabrera is in your city, and the days of his ridiculous hairstyles and dubious celebrity have been replaced by…welllll…ridiculous hats. At least going by this new single.
Listening, it’s hard to see much progress since the hangin’ with Ashlee Simpson days, but hey, with this new look, he might find some work as a Johnny Depp impersonator for the visually challenged.
Ryan Cabrera [MySpace]
What the fuck is Ryan Cabrera doing at SXSW? And when did he turn into a Constantine Maroulis/Cisco Adler/Justin Bobby clone? Gross.
isn’t that the assclown from the hills?
@kc2002: doh. beat me to it.
@iantenna: Yeah, Justin Bobby is on The Hills. Or he was – I think they put him back in his cage for the upcoming season.
Ah, my annual week of ignoring every music outlet’s constant barrage of SXSW coverage.
Just a suggestion for next year’s SXSW…perhaps the inclusion of a pillow and blanket with each ticket purchase, allowing the attendee to nap whenever necessary, could significantly increase ticket demand in ’09
I thought that was Cisco Adler.
