I just received my SXSW January update newsletter, and I am pleased as punch that the keynote speaker this year is Pete Townshend (The Who) and the Stax 50th Anniversary Review is a featured artist.

If Stax doesn’t mean anything to you, let’s review:
-Otis Redding
-Sam and Dave
-Wilson Pickett
-Isaac Hayes
-Booker T and the MGs

Granted several people on this list have passed away, but still…I’m pumped.

Who are you excited for at SXSW? Post a comment!
