I survived my first day at my first ever South By Southwest Music Festival. Ironically, several artists I wanted to see were playing the same event, the Cannon Steps Back showcase, hosted by Don Cannon.

Not only was I impressed by the people I sought out--Lecrae, Thi’sl, Gilbere Forte--but I was introduced to a few surprises.

For anyone attending the annual South By Southwest Festival (SXSW) in Austin, Texas the week of March 12, the decisions are painstaking. Who do you miss so you can see someone else? A Green Day fan who also loves the Flaming Lips and Depeche Mode will know this catch-22 all too well come this Friday.

But before then, for your convenience, here are the big names playing this Wednesday. Mark your calendars and go out there and help keep Austin weird!

1) Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds/Yeah Yeah Yeahs, 7:45pm, Stubb's - Will Karen O be this year's PJ Harvey and toy with Nick Cave for a duet, or will Cave insist on bringing his best album in years, the brooding Push The Sky Away, to the cognoscenti in its purest, most unadulterated form? Either way, Yeah Yeah Yeahs will surely burn down the house--figuratively, of course--with previews from their upcoming April release Mosquito. And Cave will be Nick Cave, the creepiest and coolest guy in the business.

2) Iron & Wine, 11pm, Austin City Limits

The Texan festival South By Southwest, the Music portion of which kicked off in Austin this Tuesday, can be a frustrating exercise in FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out)--which is basically the polar opposite of YOLO. With literally thousands of artists playing, from huge A-list acts like Green Day and Prince to the unsigned unknowns that busk on every street corner, there is so much music to take in. It's inevitable that some opportunities and shows will unfortunately be missed. But I attempted to adopt an anti-FOMO, live-in-the-moment attitude on SXSW Music's first day; I stopped to smell the BBQ, so to speak, and just tried to enjoy the moment. Here are the Tuesday moments I enjoyed the most:

ut before then, for your convenience, here are the big names kicking off the Music portion of the festival on Tuesday, all of which you likely won't want to miss.

1) Butch Hancock and Rory Hancock, 8pm, Saxon Pub - Any trip to Texas should include a moment with a member of the Flatlanders. Some years it's Joe Ely, others it's Jimmie Dale Gilmore. This year it's Butch Hancock, whose peerless songwriting reminds us of why you don't mess with Texas.
