Here's one of six bands you shouldn't miss in Austin this March.

Since I probably watch more TV and movies than 98% of the population I thought I would bring you a list of great musical moments I saw in 2009. Please enjoy the videos below whether they are new to you or a reminder of your favorites. Please leave your choices in the comments, though I must mention two things were left off this list on purpose. First, the Michael Jackson movie This Is It which I did not see and will never see.

Each writer gets their own page, so be sure to read them all! [read the whole post]
