It may not be possible for readers of this blog not to be aware of the annual Bobby Soxx Memorial Festival that’s taking place in Austin this week (known to insiders as SOXXXSW), and it is likely just as impossible that you’re unaware of the many shows that Austin’s Harlem will be playing during said festival. On the off chance that you missed it, a complete list of Harlem’s shows (along with the shows of Matador labelmates Fucked Up, The Cave Singers & Shearwater) can be found right here.
Prior to all that, though, you can get warmed up by tuning in to Austin’s friendly neighborhood public radio station, KUT, and checking out an instudio from Harlem tonight at 9:00PM Central. Those of you who live within driving distance of Emo’s can find KUT at 90.5 on your FM dial, while the rest of the Internet-enabled universe can listen at kut.org.
(an airplane full of musical tourists, overcome with emotion knowing they’ll soon be greeted with just-raised-drink prices, t-shirts reading “don’t move here” and multiple opportunites to see Love Collector)
Y’know, if I had a quarter for every person who has asked me, “Gerard, we’re so thoroughly enjoying Matador’s ‘Casual Victim Pile‘ compilation, where and when can we see those ridiculously talented bands in Austin this week?”….i’d be a very, very poor person. BECAUSE NO ONE HAS ASKED ME. That’s ok, however, I’m more than happy to supply a long, though possibly incomplete list.
Heading to the annual Musical Trade Fair That Also Features Unaffiliated Gigs thing in Austin TX this week?

Matador’s ever cynical Patrick Amory describes the above honor as “a scam” but I prefer to accept the award in a gracious manner. You think someone’s calling up Mexican Summer trying to sell them a plexiglass plaque with a faux-presidential seal? What’s Downtown’s trophy case looking like? EAT OUR DUST, entertainment business, if some aspiring con men w/ a certificate in rudimentary photoshop think we’re rich and self-obsessive enough to pay for this kind of bullshit, we’re gonna take it as a compliment. You love us, you really love us!

The New Pornographers and Matador Records are pleased announce the very first opportunity to hear the band’s brand-new fifth album Together (out May 4th) – the South By Southwest “Together Shuttle“:
On Wednesday March 17th in Austin, TX – to mark the start of SXSW (or, our arrival, anyway) – the Together Shuttle will be making several runs to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, gathering travel-weary music fans and providing door-to-door service to the Austin Convention Center and several downtown hotels. Fans who sign up to ride the Together Shuttle will be treated to complimentary cocktails and, of course, the first ever album-playback of the New Pornographers’ Together.
Sign-up for the Together Shuttle is as easy as it is limited. If any of the below pickup times meet your Austin arrival-and-pickup needs (and aren’t yet full), simply fill out your information, press “submit” and confirmation of your airport-pickup will be sent via email:
SIGN UP FOR THE SHUTTLE IS NOW CLOSED. IF YOU ARE A GAMBLER, JUST LOOK OUT FOR A BIG SCHOOL BUS AND TRY TO SNAKE YOUR WAY ON. WE WILL BE DRUNK BY THE END OF THE DAY AND PLIABLE.
For those of you lucky enough to secure a spot on the Together Shuttle – and a first-listen to Together – more details will follow with your confirmation.
Just a reminder, Ted Leo And The Pharmacists will perform tonight on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. By the time they hit the screen we’ll be celebrating the release of the excellent new album The Brutalist Bricks, available to buy here.
The band also recently taped an Interface for Spinner, and with all due respect to NBC, it’s must-see:
“The Mighty Sparrow”

All my life I’ve wanted to make fried chicken, and I have been accumulating recipes and tools for it for years. Finally I ran into a recipe that made me want to take the plunge. It is from Laurie Colwin’s Home Cooking, a book very much in the style of John Thorne’s discursive essays on unpretentious food. She absolutely lays down the law, which I like. I realize that there are many other ways to make great fried chicken, but this one works.
Colwin’s rules are:
- Use a chicken fryer, a cast-iron pot with steep sides and a domed lid
- Chicken must be at room temperature before you start cooking
- Dredge with seasoned flour only – no shaking in bag, no breadcrumbs, no crushed cornflakes
- Pan-fry, do not deep-fry (though see below) in a COVERED chicken fryer
- Serve WARM, not hot (or cold): “It should never be eaten straight from the fryer – it needs time to cool down and set”
OK, so far so good. Totally into the hardcore rules. Rather than the version above, though I got the 3-quart chicken fryer from Lodge, which may have led to some complications.
Colwin recommends using vegetable oil (or more specifically Wesson oil with a little light sesame), but this is a hardcore unhealthy household, so we used Crisco topped up with some safflower oil. There was a debate about whether to use leftover Mexican lard (manteca), but it was felt that might add an unwelcome porkiness to the chicken.
The recipe – really a method, not a recipe, is straightforward. Mix flour with seasoning of your choice. I used salt, pepper and paprika. Dip chicken pieces in buttermilk, then roll them in flour, really packing them in there “as if you were a child making sand pies.” There should be thick layers of flour between the pieces.
Fill your fryer to halfway with oil. Heat until a piece of bread fries instantly when it hits the oil. I attached a deep frying thermometer and found this to be about 375 degrees – HOT.
Gently slip into the hot oil as many pieces will fit. “The rule is to crowd a little.” Turn the heat down at once and cover. (Italics are Colwin’s.) You then cook until just done – “juicy and crisp” – about 5-6 minutes a side. Then remove cover, turn heat back up, and quickly fry to the “color of Colonial pine stain – a dark honey color.” Remove the pieces and let them sit in a barely warm oven – be warned that this will be difficult for you and your guests to do. When the pieces are warm, no longer hot, dig in.
So here’s the complication I experienced – the oil was maybe slightly over halfway, and what Colwin doesn’t mention is that when you slip in those pieces into 375-degree oil, it goes crazy. Insane angry sizzling and spattering. And then I put the top on and turned the heat down. Result was the Towering Inferno. It sounded like Battle of the Marne was taking place under the lid. Then the oil actually managed to lift up the heavy cast-iron cover and spatter down onto the burner resulting in foot-high flames.
Much putting out of fire and fussing with the temperature resulted, and I think the lesson is that you absolutely must not go more than halfway on the oil, especially with the little 3-quart chicken fryer. I was essentially deep-frying rather than pan-frying – I think the distinction becomes academic when you have chicken pieces in more than 2 inches of oil. The second batch resulted in no fire. I will say… that first batch was tastier, though I’m not sure I want to go through that experience again.
Apologies for the crappy photo. The chicken was amazing – juicy and flavorful within, crispy and nutty on the outside.

If you’ve been paying attention, you know that WFMU, the world’s most freewheeling freeform radio station, is currently in fundraising mode, and like swallows returning to Capistrano or murderers returning to the scene of the crime, Yo La Tengo will once again be taking to the airwaves and playing your cover requests in exchange for cold, hard cash to keep WFMU running for another year. If you’re frustrated that Georgia, Ira and James always ignore your requests for “Heartbeat, It’s A Love Beat”, this is your chance to have your revenge and contribute to a great cause. Call in at 800.989.9368 to give hosts Pseu Braun & Gaylord Fields your money and requests tonight from 8:00PM to 11:00PM, and of course tune in at 91.1FM, or 90.1FM in the Hudson Valley, or at wfmu.org.

Vol. II? Please tell me this will advance to some KBD-type status where someone else can do the future editions (and thus contend with the bitching and moaning from pals & relatives of the generic bands who didn’t make the cut). Love the cassettes, though.
We here are True Panther are pretty damn excited and honored to announce this year’s True Panther showcase for SXSW. No official stuff or badges or RSVP’s, just good music free and open to the public for more hours than one would think is humanly possible. There are two stages so break times will be short and a dj after the live shows are over. The line-up is bands we’ve done records with, bands we are doing records with, or bands we’re just plain big fans of.
Here is a static flyer in case you are seizure prone: FLYER
The planet’s best radio station, WFMU, is the middle of their annual fund-raising marathon. If you’re a regular listener to WFMU’s ridiculously diverse free-form lineup, you already know the station is 100% dependent on listener contributions to continue bringing you the most provocative music/humor/edutainment, and with their newly revised iPhone application, you have access to acres of WFMU archives in the palm of your paw. One of our favorite WFMU fixtures, Tom Scharpling, will be joined tonight by Ted Leo and longtime The Best Show On WFMU conspirator, former Seven Mary Three drummer Jon Wurster. Tom’s pitch can be found below :
The show is going to feature TED LEO and JON WURSTER in the studio. Ted is going to play songs and I know he has some crazy surprises up his sleeve. And the Wurster stuff is going to be hilarious.
The premium is called the BEST SHOW 2010 CHUMP STEAMROLLER FUN PACK. You can only get it by pledging DURING MY SHOW.
