Alex Chilton, pop-icon member of the Box Tops and Big Star, passed away Wednesday at a hospital in New Orleans. A musical influence on bands such as The Replacements and REM, Chilton and Big Star were scheduled for a rare performance at SXSW this weekend.
Everyone from The Bangles to Wilco covered Chilton’s songs. His career began in the ’60s with The Box Tops and carried on into the ’70s with Big Star, followed by a resurgence in the ’90s after Big Star’s “In the Street” was used as the theme song for “That 70’s Show.”
Alex Chilton was 59. He is survived by his wife and son.

You’re soon to be on the road to SXSW; according to Google maps the trip from ATL to Austin = approx. 16 hours driving. What are your three essential road trip albums?
I’m flying out with friends. We’d never get out there in peace (or in one piece) if we drove out there. We’d end up picking up hitch hikers, wayward souls, guitar playing vagabonds, etc. That being said, I never fly without my shuffle, but I am so not telling you what’s on it. … Continue Reading

For the first time ever I am flying to Austin (yes, flying, aren’t I so very big time finally). I am lucky enough this year while I am out there pushing the A3C hip Hop Festival to also be doing some work blogging about the hip-hop showcases for a company called LP33.tv who is the official blog partner of SXSW. So I am actually getting to fly, have a badge, and sleep some place other than the floor while I am out there. Life is good. As far as a music mix goes, I set up this killer mix of hip-hop stars gone movie/TVactors for the flight, it has Ice T, Ice Cube, Method Man, Redman, Will Smith, Tone Loc, Mos Def, LL Cool J, Ludacris, and Queen Latifa. I know there are more but I only picked artists who’s movies/TV shows didn’t suck. … Continue Reading

This year is different in that this is the first year I am attending only from the label side of things (Favorite Gentlemen) and not as an artist. That means I am not making my way out to Austin while already on tour OR making the long drive straight there and back. That changes the choice of travel music for sure.
As the music community starts packing their bags and loading their iPods for the road trip (or flights) to SXSW, a couple of us holding down the fort at home want to know (so we can live vicariously) how our friends prep for, and who they’re hoping to see at, SXSW 2010.
AMG caught up with Gift Horse front man Hunter Morris, as the band gets ready to perform at handful of shows at SXSW, including the 40 Watt Showcase with Dead Confederate, Futurebirds, The Whigs and many more.

(You) can never go wrong with the Glands’ record in the van. Also Patton Oswalt. And we always keep our friend’s bands in rotation, but I can’t say enough good things about Twin Tigers new record “Gray Waves.”
Fast food, gas station snacks, local diners – where are you most likely to stop for grub on this trip?
Smothered, covered, capped, and peppered. Or Cafe Risque!
There is a band playing at every venue, bar and BBQ joint in Austin – who are you most excited to see?
Motörhead is playing this year, right?

We’re always happy when bands we love start making the transition from local band to touring band to signed band. Atlanta’s Death On Two Wheels has made those transitions. Recently signed to Favorite Gentlemen (Manchester Orchestra, All Get Out, Kevin Devin), Death On Two Wheels has had a rather enjoyable ride. As the lads prep for an exciting week of music in Austin, we sent our SXSW Q & A to DO2W front man, Trae Vedder.
