WAY OUT SOUTHWEST

“‘Would your approach to songwriting be different if you were ugly?’ is NOT a question I'll be asking Britt Daniel today at 12:30,” Karen Glauber wrote on Facebook this morning, a few hours before her SXSW panel. “I am, however, counting on Matthew Caws to write a song on-the-spot and for Marshall, Mac, Will and Jody Stephens to make our hearts explode with joy. Please be there.” The legendary Big Star drummer, who will be KG’s “surprise guest, is shown here with Shazam’s Charles Slomovitz Thursday in Austin.
