The Spout Blog has an interview with the Deagol Brothers in advance of those SXSW screenings at the Alamo. Asked to describe the movie in 25 words, the Deagols say:

MAKE-OUT with VIOLENCE is a semi-autobiographical magical realist romance made over five years by a team of high school friends. [Like] if John Hughes directed Tarkovsky's Solaris, meets Weekend at Bernie's as an atmospheric musical (inspired by Brian Eno's four pop records), but no one sings.

You may also recall that there is a free EP of music from the film ready to populate your hard drive.

Speaking of South by Southwest, that awesome festival that I will not be attending thanks to this shitty-ass economy, Out the Other has started posting a handy guide to soaking in the Austin-ness on the cheap. Read parts one, two and three.

Lastly, that Jamey Johnson free outdoor show is going to happen. It'll be Wednesday, Mar. 4 at 11:30 a.m. (sharp, they tell us), at the corner of 5th and Commerce. Johnson kicked ass and stuff in our Country Music Critics' Poll. Huzzah for free outdoor shows.

Part 4 of Out the Other's guide to SXSW on the cheap is going to be general tips and tricks, restaurant recommendations, etc etc, so if anyone has any tips they want to send my way, please do!

"That's more than 25 words. And it's bullshit." I guess we'll have to see what Pasadena homicide thinks.

Griffin Mill, I can only imagine you've made a movie that didn't get any attention by the "And it's bullshit" comment. Is the Cream just for babies?

Hearn, the Griffin Mill comment is a reference to Robert Altman's "The Player".

Dear Hearn,
I'm not so sure what a "hipster" is, being that I'm dead and all. But if a "hipster" is anything like one of those "flappers" they had when I was a lad, my dick would be stiffer than the rest of my body, I'll tell you what!
