I've been going through some of my old OTC photographs back in the day in order to put together a little photo tribute of my own. Coming soon! <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Robert Schneider, of The Apples in Stereo and longtime friend and collaborator of Bill Doss, had this to say about Bill's untimely passing over on the <a href="http://e6townhall.com/forum.php" target="_blank">E6 Town Hall</a> forum: <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I am heartbroken by the loss of my life-long friend, collaborator and band-mate. My world will never be the same without the wonderful, funny, supremely creative Bill Doss. On behalf of my own family-- as well as of The Apples in stereo and the Elephant 6 Collective-- I would like to send out tender thoughts and our deepest sympathies to Bill's wife and family.<br /><br />Chuang Tsu: "The wood is consumed but the fire burns on, and we do not know when it will come to an end."<br /><br />Love to you all,</span><blockquote class="tr_bq">

<br /></div>
The music world has suffered a great loss today with the passing of Bill Doss, founding member of The Olivia Tremor Control and Sunshine Fix. Doss also was a co-founder of the Elephant 6 collective, which included OTC, The Apples in Stereo, Neutral Milk Hotel, the Music Tapes and many more like-minded groups. <br />
<div>
Doss grew up in the tiny town of Ruston, Louisiana, where he met Jeff Mangum of Neutral Milk Hotel and Will Cullen Hart, his harmonic other half in OTC. The three became fast friends and eventually formed the Olivia Tremor Control. After moving to Athens, Mangum split off to form Neutral Milk Hotel, while the other two went on to record two psychedelic masterpieces, <i>Music From The Unrealized Film Script: Dusk at Cubist Castle </i>and <i>Black Foliage: Animation Music</i>. </div>
<div>
No details of his death have been released at this point. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Here is a video of OTC from this years Pitchfork Music Festival: </div>

The lineup includes some pretty awesome bands like Built to Spill, Blitzen Trapper, and Ben Kweller.

The folks over South by South Mess are at it again. They have five parties next week that they promise will be "the messiest parties of SXSW 2012." One of the parties is a Slip N Slide party. Sounds fun! <br />
If you can decipher the cryptic poster above you will unearth a pretty awesome lineup including the buzzalicious Grimes, Maps & Atlases, Japanther, Dan Deacon, and more. Can you figure out the rest of the lineup? They have a handy page where you can RSVP to all five parties. <br />

The Rachael Ray Feedback Party will be at Stubbs BBQ again this year. As always, there will be free booze, as well as a Rachael Ray-curated food menu for all who attend. Recently, hip hop guru Theophilus London was added to the bill that includes Train (?), Of Monsters and Men, Blitzen Trapper, Billy Gibbons and more.<br />
The show is free and open to the public, but I would advise getting there early if you want to get in. The line is always monstrous.

Trash-talking celebrity blogger has announced some of the details for his party at the Austin Music Hall on Saturday, March 17th. This year the event will be official, which means badges and wristbands, but you can buy tickets to guarantee entry. All of the proceeds go to support the VH1 Save the Music Foundation. So far, the only artists that have been announced are the Ting Tings, Ed Sheeran, Cher Lloyd and Dev. Not super-impressive, but I'm sure Perez has some tricks up his sleeve. <br />
