There used to be a different page two to this issue but there also used to be a
different cover. That doesn’t really matter though, because Audrey Duff’s
superb piece on Marshall Kuykendall is one that doesn’t tell you what to think,
so I’m not going to try to tell you either.
In other news, we’re coming up on a number of significant deadlines in the
Austin music world because we’re just seven weeks away from South by Southwest
(a portion of the first list of invited bands is in Ken Lieck’s column on p.
40).
In this issue is also your last chance to vote in the annual Austin
Chronicle Music Poll. The ballot runs for the last time this issue, so if
you want to make your voice heard, now is your chance. Remember, here’s where
all the critics shut up. The ballot is on p.13.
We’re also coming up on the deadline for the “Musician’s Register”
(co-sponsored by 107.1 KGSR — see ad p.45). This is the place for working
Austin acts to get listed, and we print an overrun of the issue to be inserted
into the bags at SXSW.
Make sure to vote in the Poll if your a fan, and if you’re a working musician,
be sure you’re in the register.
And finally, if you’re a working musician and are registered, be sure
to get your ticket to the Musicians’ Appreciation Dinner (co-sponsored by
Threadgills, the Chronicle, KLBJ-FM, and the Austin Music Network),
which is at Threadgill’s on February 6. You can pick up your ticket at
Chronicle headquarters. For more details, see the ad on p.25. n
