  Pete Freedman Phosphorescent captivates the crowd at Mohawk's Patio.Night two at SXSW 2009 very much encapsulated everything I love about SXSW: Writing down a schedule of shows to see, throwing it out the window and catching a whole different lineup of acts that were probably better than any of the ones you'd originally planned to see.

  We've gone a few weeks now without our (once) weekly Show Announcements posting about, go figure, upcoming shows that get announced each week. Sorry for the lapse there, folks--it'll make its way back soon enough, promise. In the meantime, let me use this post as an excuse to spread the word that, on Thursday, October 22, at the Granada Theater, Built to Spill and Dinosaur Jr. will be rolling through town for a show for which the theater has yet to start selling tickets. Which is awesome because

  We've been geeking out about the upcoming Dinosaur Jr. and Built to Spill double-bill at the Granada for months now (four, to be specific), and now that it's almost here, well, really, we can hardly contain ourselves--which, I promise, is meant to read far more honestly and less facetiously than it does.And we're pretty stoked about this, too: The Granada Theater's just hooked us up with two free pairs of tickets to hand out to a couple of lucky DC9 readers today--which very easily could be you,

  ​A couple interesting shows over the next two night's at the still freshly re-opened Trees in Deep Ellum. Tonight, for instance, marks the second week of the Best DJ in Town's new weekly concert series at the venue. Continuing along the theme of his Sunday night "The Local Show" on KDGE-102.1 FM The Edge, Mark Schectman is now booking every Wednesday night at Trees with local bands only. And it's something of a competition, too, combining online voting and crowd reaction to determine a weekly

No doubt you are, too.I just hope you have your tickets already--over the weekend, we'd heard sales to the show had already reached 900 tickets. So you can pretty much rest assured that the 1,100-capacity room at the Granada will be sold out tonight.So, then, for those who might end up left out, this should come as a nice little treat: At

• Poster of the Week: Built To Spill, Dinosaur Jr. and Lou Barlow And The Missingmen At The Granada Theater Thursday

  ​Round Rock artist Todd Slater designed this week's featured poster, which promotes tonight's bill of Built To Spill, Dinosaur Jr. and Lou Barlow and the Missingmen at The Granada. Look closely and you'll see that the ants crawling all over the woman's face; the design was inspired by the lyric to BTS's "Aisle 13," which includes the lines "One day I'll come home to find you covered with ants 'cause you're so sweet." I'd thought that was a really dark verse, implying the narrator feared he'd f

  ​In case there was any doubt that Nic Hernandez was spot on about Lou Barlow's in-store performance at Good Records last week, Barlow himself confirmed as much today. While out on the road right now with Dinosaur Jr. and Built to Spill, Barlow, who is playing at least two sets a day on this tour (one with Dino and a second with a set own solo material opening each show), is keeping a diary of his experiences for Paste's Web site.And, just as Nic had quoted Barlow as saying in his review, Barlo
