Let's Spend Some Time Together at That Music Thing

It'll be like that scene from Almost Famous.

This is what I'll look like when we're talking. I'll be all like "mm hm. Oh, that's so interesting."

Oh, hello. My name is Kelly McClure and I'm the Music Editor for VICE. What that means is that, aside from writing about lesbians, buttholes, and various cult members and weirdos, I also write about music from time to time, as long as that music is either 90s style punk, goth, Sufjan Stevens, Trust, or Austra.

Next week I will be at SXSW and I am already sick of it. In protest of being already sick of something that hasn't even happened yet, I plan on releasing one tiny drop of urine into my underpants each time someone refers to SXSW as "South By," and by the end of the week I will stop and tell everyone I see about how much pissing people made me do.

Are you going to SXSW? Are you in a band and thinking something like "oh my shittin Lord, If only people would pay as much attention to my awesome band, as they do (name of other band) then I'd be so happy." Well I want to pay attention to your band. So here is my plan.

Email me at kelly.mcclure@vice.com and tell me about your band. Send something I can listen to, and a picture of you/your band. If I feel emotionally moved by you and your passion for music, I will set up plans with you in Austin wherein we hang out, I help you get pumped up for your show by looking earnestly into your eyes, telling you how good your outfit looks, and giving you a two-armed hug. Then, I will go to one of your shows at SXSW and be your hype person. I will stand in front, smile right up at you, and scream my face off the whole time.

I think this is a great idea. I can't wait to hear from you. We could get ice cream, or interview each other. I don't really care.

(This is real.)
