If you find yourself in Austin during that special week in March, perspective can be a useful thing. It’s important to remember - as you see the long lines snaking around some of the clubs - that this is a conference at which the objective isn’t getting in to the big show with the biggest names of today.  It’s about discovering the performers people will be talking about tomorrow.

 

Over the next hour, you’ll hear what our panel of some the nation’s most respected music experts are excited about at South by Southwest 2011.  This is the List.
