SXSW 2009 - Post Five: Botticellis, Black Hollies, High Dials, B. Scary, Gramercy Arms, Marching Band, Magic Wands, K. Andrews

We've taken a few days off from this now, so let's head back south by southwest. (I personally would have to climb totally inward, being pretty much exactly sxsw.) Anyway, the following are songs we've posted before but are still very much enjoying. Maybe you missed them the first time around or would like to hear them again? (Middle finger over index.) We've still got plenty of newbies to post, coming soon. Click artist names to go to band's SWSW site, song titles to download songs. Previous SXSW posts here.
