Ms. Jessie Carter of the Independent Film Channel, one of our fine and exciting sponsors, is the resident music expert at the IFC (she also works with the VP of Marketing as well as doing Alternative Online Outreach, for which I guess this qualifies).

Though immune to caffeine, she drinks copious amounts of black coffee (sometimes while “overhearing” strange conversations on the NY subway).

Carter enjoys “Scandinavian style blogs” but abhors pastel colors, photos captioned with introspective partial song lyrics and when people make up fake words while playing Scrabble (unless they are super creative about it).

Tune in to the IFC 2008 Spirit Awards tomorrow at 5 pm Eastern/2 pm Pacific. Hosted by Rainn Wilson (who was just awesome in The Last Mimzy. I love bunnies!), I’m told the show’s musical tributes are “gonna be great!!” I believe it - I’m still chortling over Michael McKean and Annette O’Toole’s Kinsey number.

But I digress… You’re really reading to see JC’s Pick Three…

Atlas Sound: Seeing Bradford Cox perform is always a real treat, whether it is with Deerhunter or solo. He is incredibly talented and always, always entertaining.

White Denim: This is one band that I have wanted to see for quite awhile but unfortunately the timing has never worked out. From all I’ve heard, it promises to be an energetic and crazy rock show. Can’t wait.

Holy Fuck: two words: dance. party.

TGIF, people! I once heard a funny story about Flavor Flav going to TGI Friday’s. I always appreciate the fact that you took the time to read our little bloggy, so thanks for that. Email weather reports to musicblog@sxsw.com. Kalinishta, lp
