SXSW 2008 Showlist

Time once again for my list of SXSW bands that I'd like to see. The bands in bold are the ones that are "must see" shows for me. There isn't a lot of separation between the bands for me. There are a lot that I like quite a bit, but not many that I'm rabid about at this point. Unfortunately, it seems like most of the bands I really really want to see are playing at midnight on Friday. I have no idea what I'm going to do. I'm sure it'll boil down to who I've seen at day shows already.
