Album cover art and torrent download for SXSW 2008

Hel­lo, vis­i­tors from the Intar­webs.  You grace my site with search queries about the SXSW Music con­fer­ence, and I have decid­ed to give you what you want:

• Here is a link to the cov­er art I made for the SXSW 2008 music.  You may use this cov­er art (a 600 x 600 pix­el jpg file) how­ev­er you like, though I sug­gest using it in iTunes.  Oth­er years are also avail­able in that post, as is prop­er cred­it to Ben Mil­lett, who made the first exam­ple of SXSW cov­er art I found.

• Here is a link to the best source for Bit­Tor­rent files of all the music from SXSW for the last sev­er­al years, includ­ing the 2008 edi­tion.

• And here are six-word reviews of all 763 SXSW 2008 music files in that tor­rent down­load.  From Paul Ford, via The Morn­ing News.
