go nads go!
The most tender place in my heart is for strangers.
I know it's unkind, but my own blood is much too dangerous.

Swan Songs Sings To The Dying
AUSTIN (KXAN) - In the “Live Music Capital of the World,” there is plenty of music for the living. For the dying, not so much. Austin musician Christine Albert is determined to change that.
“In the Austin area, there are 5600 people a year in hospice care,” said Albert. “That’s just hospice care; there are other people dying that are not in hospice care and we do maybe 30 or 35 concerts a year. So there’s a long way to go.”
Albert and psychotherapist Gaea Logan co-founded Swan Songs, a nonprofit organization offering end-of-life concerts, after one of Albert’s fans asked her to perform for him and his family and friends one last time before he died.
“He was at the point where he wasn’t verbal anymore and it was hard for his friends to come and just sit,” she said. “They wanted to be with him but it’s uncomfortable to just sit.

Waterloo Records, Austin, TX
Savvier out-of-town attendees of the South by Southwest festival like to stick around an extra day so they can shop at Waterloo in relative peace. But only relative — this robust store has earned a loyal base in a town notable for its music-friendliness even when biz tourists aren’t invading it. There’s good reason: Waterloo has everything you could ask for, new or used, and its abundant size means it gets plenty of in-store performances by everyone from Hot Hot Heat to Ozomatli to the Black Angels.
