One of my biggest musical regrets this past summer was arriving too late to Wakarusa to catch a Langhorne Slim set that eggs and Mrs. Bacon both deemed the best of the festival. Then the bastard had to go and release the best album he's made and one of the best of the year, Be Set Free - further enhancing my feeling that I missed out on something damn special on that mountain in Ozark. Join me in making up for your own missed chances to see Langhorne by checking out the video below of him and the War Eagles playing one of the best cuts off Be Set Free, "Say Yes," as part of indieATL's music series. If you're lucky enough to be anywhere near the shows that he's playing with The Avett Brothers to ring in the new year (Asheville, NC on 12/31 and Atlanta, GA on 1/1), FIND A WAY IN, enjoy, and report back to BOT.

With already over 200 showcasing acts already announced, next year's edition of SXSW is already continuing to expand its massive list of bands. The latest additions include a bevy of acts from around the globe, including some of our favorites like The Low Anthem, Band of Heathens, Dengue Fever, Jason Lytle, Breakestra, UME, Dash Rip Rock, DD/MM/YYYY, Joe Pug, David Garza, Reading Rainbow, Sebastien Grainger, The Hood Internet, Those Darlins and Houston's own Ceeplus Bad Knives. Also of note in the new additions is singer-songwriter Pegi Young – hopefully she brings her husband with her...
