Austinist loves Sloan
The past couple of blog entries on SXSW '07 the Austinist have shown a lot of love for the CanRock indie rock overlords Sloan.
The former entry Tom Thornton includes them as his number five as part of the "Austinist Top Fives for SXSW 2007". He also gives respectable props to Malajube's and Martha Wainwright's performances.
The later post, however, is the more entertaining. It is a video on the fashion and style of SXSW. For some reason they interviewed both Jay and Andrew of Sloan — Sloan being one of the most unfashionable bands I can think of. Best parts of the video include: Jay proclaiming his love for denim, Jay being embarrassed over wearing two tones of denim (they do fade at their own rates, it's true) and Andrew accusing Jay of always wearing the same shirt that he wears. It's actually rather ridiculous to think that at an event such as SXSW that this type of a video be a good idea (those independent, unsigned, unknown artists sure wear a mean cloth with their "I'm a poo musician that spent all mo money on instruments!" style).
