Re: Adam Good SXSW playlist
“HOLD UP.BEATS MUSIC IS NOT YET AVAILABLE IN YOUR COUNTRY.” Good one, as they say in the classics…
FYI ‘weird’ people don’t go to SXSW anymore, haven’t for years. Unless by ‘weird’ you mean advertising and digital people
Hi Shamma,
I was there last year and trust me, there were plenty of very weird people. Especially when the music set rolled into town.
Cheers,
Alex, Mumbrella
most of those would be the locals. Austin is a great town.
No arguments from me there.
Yep looking forward to SXSW, no doubt the best week for creativity and discovery. As for Beats Music availability in Australia. Don’t worry it is on it’s way. Maybe I was a little cheeky to post the playlist 🙂 In the mean time get into MOG and be one of the first to get Beats Music when it launches. ♫ #NowPlaying SXSW MOG Party Playlist, a playlist on @mogdotcom http://mog.com/m/playlist/45086655?ci=20000
