SXSW 2016 Music: A spin on VR & music with Banners, MSTRKFT and more

SXSW is a learning experience and not just for attendees. Last year, sponsor McDonald's wasn't really the most favorably looked upon event space after a bit of a hubbub regarding its payment plans with bands.

When you think SXSW, you don't necessarily think fitness. Instead, you think celebrities, tacos, and lots of drinking. But what's really neat about the interactive aspect of the festival is you learn about a lot of new industries and concepts, while still having the sort of fun you'd expect comes with the aforementioned celebrities, tacos,...

SXSW Film Review: Everybody Wants Some

At one point during Richard Linklater's "Everybody Wants Some", a group of the characters is sitting around getting stoned, listening to Van Halen and discussing what art is.
