Patti's Pep Talk by Kelly
Patti Smith gives an inspiring, no-bullshit pep talk. "I've done records where it seems like no one listens to them. Keep doing your work because you have to, it's your calling." That being said, she also gives a defiant "fuck you" to those who see success as something that spoils you as an artist. The more... More.

Gospel Brunch at Stubbs - a SXSW must! by Kelly
Reporting in from SXSW! The Gospel Brunch at Stubbs has by far been one of my favourite experiences in Austin so far.
