2008 SXSW Torrent File and Review of the Songs — All of Them

sxsw_08.jpgThere is a legal torrent file of the 2008 SXSW participating bands floating around on the web (thanks to whoever made this), and Paul Ford has reviewed each of the 763 of the songs in exactly six words.

I don't 100% agree with some of his star ratings but the reviews are funny. However his star distribution chart showing 254 of 763 bands getting only one star (the please kill me rating) seems about right — because lots of bands out there just suck. The only thing that is missing is the a graph showing the amount of time he spent doing this (he says he listened to all the songs in full) and how that adds up for each star rating.
