This has to be one of the most terrible things I’ve ever seen.

Thoughts? Is this a stunt? Nothing could really be this bad…..right?

Hope you’re enjoying your spring break.  Here are some music videos for the season. They just sound like spring to me.

And the spring classic:

Before her trek to Austin for SXSW, Miss Unique dropped a new, banging mixtape. While not as sharp as last year’s Domination Mixtape, this collection is still willing and able to give you fits of booty shaking. Check it, available for free download from Dominique Young Unique’s Soundcloud.

Today’s list only includes my picks for single-day parties.

Today is Part 1 of my picks for shows/parties at SXSW 2011.  Today, I’m covering my picks happening during the Interactive portion of this year, from Saturday, March 12 to Tuesday, March 15.  I couldn’t find anything crazy awesome for Friday, March 11 that wasn’t “badgeholders only” or “sold out,” so if you know of something, get at me! Much obliged! Let the party begin!

Saturday – March 12

Okay, first up is the Mogwee Party, which you need to RSVP to here, which is happening at the world-famous Mohawk.  Not the best lineup, IMO, but it’s something to get me into the SXSW groove, and I wouldn’t mind seeing Washed Out and Black Joe Lewis again.

Rest of the dates through Tuesday after the jump.
