This March, a panel discussion led by Scott Reilly (x5 Music Group) delved into the increasingly-crucial world of digital streaming services and the artist's relationship to these services and emerging revenue streams. Hear first-hand how Reilly, DJ/Producer Trevor Skeet, TuneCore Founder Jeff Price, and BigChampagne Founder Eric Garland suggest artists use, interact and profit from these digital music services.

Nardwuar vs HAIM - SXSW Music 2013 from SXSW on Vimeo.

This is not just magical camerawork by the King of Spring Break (pictured below), but magic all around as the groovy gals of Haim pay homage to Nardwuar, the most ultimate interviewer ever.

It's a mystery how Nardwuar discovers the many bits and pieces of trivia that he does about any artist he's interviewing. It's pretty much the best thing ever, the looks of joy, surprise, and sometimes consternation on the faces of his subjects.

Did you miss out on purchasing a souvenir t-shirt when you were in Austin in March? Or perhaps you couldn't make it to SXSW this year, but want to pretend that you did. Either way, you are in luck because 2013 (and 2012) merchandise is still available at the SXSW online store with a full range of styles, colors and sizes to give you many different shopping options. Remember that SXSW merchandise makes your summer styles that much cooler!

Nashville pop-country artist Caitlin Rose released her sophomore album, The Stand-In, back in March on ATO Records. After releasing her debut, Own Side Now, in 2010, Rose came back stronger than ever with an album that roots music blog No Depression called “an enriching and terribly gorgeous experience.”

With a long list of influences, Rose has a certain soft spot for covers and she includes two on the new album: “I Was Cruel” by The Deep Vibration and “Dallas” by The Felice Brothers. Producers and songwriters Jordan Lehning and Skylar Wilson, known for their work with Justin Townes Earle, helped Rose create a sentimental album.
