SXSW Thursday: Tony Visconti, Don Cheadle, Kool Keith and More
Things started picking up nicely after Wednesday’s disappointing experiences. The keynote from legendary producer Tony Visconti (David Bowie, T. Rex, et al) was relatively polemic-free and mostly focused on his own musical development. He did impart a sharp, noted instruction for record labels, though. “Look for the freaks.

Behold a New Video From The Rodney Kings
