While My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James filled out a lime green tank top and bleach-blonde wig, the rest of the band and stage were blanketed in delightfully cheesy tropical regalia, from water wings and sunscreen noses to metal detectors and pineapple-holding Hawaiian girls.

 Joss Stone: Entertaining. Crazy to hear the voice of a 300-pound black woman come out of a 20-year-old white British woman. That's really all I have to say.

While Friday was mainly a dance rock day and Saturday an all-out rock show, Sunday was a hodgepodge of international bands, eclectic bands and good, old-fashioned Seattle rock 'n' roll.

It seemed Deftones wanted to get one thing straight - that they're a metal band - which seemed to please the fans . . .

Sounding tighter than ever, working the crowd and performing my personal favorite, the classic "Ball and Chain" from their self-titled debut album, Social Distortion had everyone jumping up and down in true punk rockabilly style.

SXSW offers much in the way of great music, but it also offers great poster art. Besides bringing Flat Stock (rock poster show each year) to the front, you are also overwhelmed with tons of great posters for events.

While I think the jury is out on who was wearing the shorter shorts in Be Your Own Pet (Jemina or her drummer Jamin), they were definitely one of the more entertaining bands to watch.

Onstage were two painters, a new trend in live music, each of whom painted a picture with their style of painting being affected by the flavor of the music (i.e., soft music was bright colors and soft lines; aggro music was sharp lines and dark colors).

With approximately 15,000 in attendance, over 100 bands scheduled, and 40-plus panelists, this festival was a nice blend of art and commerce.
