four hours south [15 Jun 2007|12:07am]
I'm in Baton Rouge right now -- the city of my birth and the city that I'll be moving to in two months. Graduate school is the force that's pulling me down here. I'll be pursuing a master's degree in library science with an archives specialization at LSU. So far, everything is falling into place perfectly. I've even received a graduate assistant position working at the University's archive. Just a few hours ago I drove past the rent house that I move into in August. Kinda difficult to get an impression in the dark, but it seems fine and is conveniently located about 2 miles north of campus. If only rent didn't cost twice as much in BR as in Shreveport! The reason for my current visit is to be interviewed in the morning for a scholarship. My fingers are crossed.

Making the four hour drive today was rough because of the near constant rain, not to mention the boredom of I-49. I think I'll start making my Shreveport-Baton Rouge trek on the old Highway 1, as was suggested to me today. Should be more scenic.

The trip was also tiring because Jackie and I just returned home on Tuesday night from five days in Austin. We had plenty of fun and did a number of things that were new to me -- night swimming at Barton Springs, visiting a peacock park, hiking, checking out the Harry Ransom Center, etc. However, it seemed like something was missing. All the good restaurants are still there as are the record stores that I habitually visit. I think I'm just missing all my old friends who've moved away.

Work at Centenary wraps up in 6 1/2 weeks. Then, I'll have about 4 weeks to tie up loose ends in Shreveport, hopefully conduct a blitzkrieg round of interviews and research on Shreveport music history, and move four hours south. School will start before I know it.

Times New Viking in Denton, Texas (March 14, 2007)


Best recent news is receiving a letter from LSU with a nice financial aid offer! I would be a graduate assistant working 20 hours a week and receive a stipend and free tuition. “All contingent on my being accepted to the LSU graduate school” or something like that…hah. It seems some departments work faster than others. I’m not fretting it, though.

Last week was my fourth trip to SXSW, and in some ways it was the least exciting one I’ve attended. The fun moments of running from one show to another all day long to catch new bands or groups I really enjoy were replaced with feelings of “Uh, so, what next?” and “I think I’ll play 20 year old video games while this band plays.” I’m glad I went, and I caught some good shows, but overall it was more “blah” than I expected. I posted this to a message board the other day:

-----
My SXSW report.

Best show was in Denton, Texas before SXSW: Wax Museums, Cheap Time, Clockcleaner, Times New Viking, Marked Men

Best SXSW show I attended: probably the one at Scoot Inn with Fucked Up, Jay Reatard, White Savage, High Tension Wires, Marked Men, Live Fast Die, Cheap Time, Wax Museums, Manikin, Die Rotzz, Carbonas, Brimstone Howl, plus a bunch more including some goofy metal band from Dallas wearing overalls and holding a 3 foot long joint (bonus points for one guy in the band working at the Southern Maid Donuts headquarters). Most awkward moment: Jay choking some jerk with his flying v.

Show with good potential and underwhelming payoff: house party with Spits and Black Lips at 4am.

Other bands in there somewhere: Mika Miko, Silver Jews, Gentleman Jesse, Daniel Johnston, Buzzcocks, King Louie. Eh, that's all I can remember.

Other rewarding moments: haning out with the Wax Museums all weekend long, talking to King Louie at Tamale House.

-----

Thanks to that “underwhelming” house show, though, I did make it to the front page of the New York Times’s website yesterday. They did an 8 minute video story on the Black Lips, and there was footage from the house party. I’m standing by the front door looking sleepy.
