It’s been a while, I know. South By Southwest occupied all of my time the past couple of weeks. And damn was it fun. I’ll have to write more later as I’m still catching up on work and recovering from the beating my body took. For now, you’ll have to settle for another one of my concert videos.

As usual, I filmed segments of various performances and combined them into one video, this time using Final Cut Express. This was my first time using the software, so it actually took me a really long time, and I didn’t even do anything cool with it. Don’t worry, my new goal for the year is to become awesome at video editing, so prepare yourself for much better videos in the future. Another first is that I’m using Vimeo to host the video since YouTube has lame size and length requirements that would force me to sacrifice the quality of the video. It’s about 20 minutes long and I don’t want to divide it into two parts. Try using the “full screen” functionality — it looks pretty damn good.

The video features performances by Ben Harper, AA Bondy, Kimya Dawson, Akron/Family, Ice Cube, Tom Morello, Autolux, Longwave, Perry Ferrell, Saul Williams, Ra Ra Riot, Serj Tankian, Talib Kweli, Vampire Weekend, Tapes N Tapes, Black Keys, Yeasayer, Bon Iver, Blue Scholars, Brett Dennen, Canada, The Cool Kids, Fanfarlo, Does it Offend You?, Holy Fuck, and random people on 6th and Congress.

Where else but SXSW can you see Tom Morello jamming with Ben Harper at a venue that seats only a couple hundred people? Enjoy!
