Covering Music, Film and Pop Culture
I’ve been to a lot of music festivals, but I’d never been to Austin Psych Fest before this weekend.
In many ways the festival felt a lot more hippie and a lot less corporate than a lot of music festivals.
(It would be harder to get much more corporate than South By Southwest or the Austin City Limits Music Fesival!)

It might be the 6th year of the Austin Psych Fest, but I’ve never been to the party. However, I have seen some of the bands who are playing at the festival play in the past, and I’m looking forward to seeing them play again this weekend!
Austin Psych Fest is this weekend, April 26-28 2013, at Carson Creek Ranch.
If you are, er, directionally challenged like me, this should strike fear into your heart. Or at least get you to add an extra hour into your festival planning!
Recently there was an article in the Huffington Post by David Landsel, about how Austin is way overrated, and Houston is a lot better. I wasn’t even slightly surprised when I read this article. I don’t think the article has much truth or insight to it, it’s just blowback from the fact that the locus of our collective Americian fantasy of the “magical elsewhere” happens to be currently located in Austin, Texas.
Every era gets the magical elsewhere it deserves. The magical elsewhere is the spot where you don’t have to work overly hard and dreams come true. It’s the land of milk and honey and the promise of romance and paradise and a certain loosening of the older strict moral codes.
