N*E*R*D: Bigger in Texas

Posted 03/22/2008 at 5:54 PM  |  Comment?

I skipped SXSW this year for the first time in a few years - work, life, Lil Boosie (in that order) got in the way. If the online coverage of the event is any indication the annual music industry festival was fine. Not transcendent. Not terrible. Which is how it often is, as you trudge up and down 6th St. hoping for something worth crying over.

Last year gave me what turned out to be my first and last night with UGK, something I hold closer now in light of Pimp C's tragic death. The only things I really regretted missing this year were performances by N*E*R*D (with full band) and David Banner at the The Fader/Levi's Fort. One of those things has been handed to us now. Ever since spending some time with Pharrell earlier this month I've been aching to hear N*3*R*D again, the group's spasmodic, superlative new album. Thanks to the powers of the Interweb, the show, which features four new songs including the completely unhinged "Spazz," has trickled out in the world. And I offer it to you.
