SXSW shows to be broadcast live via NPR, KEXP

Tired of seeing friends on Facebook with status messages that read something to the tune of “SXSW or bust” or “SXSW-ing it up”? Never fear, dear music lover, for the fine folks at both NPR and KEXP are bringing SXSW out of Texas and to the doorstep of Stipe-fantatics everywhere. That’s right, enjoy Basia Bulat, Vampire Weekend and Bon Iver from the comfort of a favorite pair of PJs. For those who missed the events from yesterday (i.e., R.E.M., et al), check out the archives of both NPR and KEXP in a few weeks.

Try not to crack a smile when said friends come back sunburned and complaining about how they missed My Morning Jacket because of the line. Sigh—the internet is a glorious thing. Thanks, Al Gore!
