I love getting my face rocked off as much as the next girl, but I thought I would bring you some panel coverage. Not just any panel, mind you…Lou Reed’s Keynote.

Angela Watercutter of Wired.com did a great job of recapping the panel.

The Riff Blog’s Gary Moskowitz covered Reed’s mood and opinion of MP3s.

Spence D. of IGN wrote a great review and recap.

Also, you can watch a clip of the Keynote in the SXSW Music Coverage section.

Apparently Jim DeRogatis leaked this year’s Lollapalooza lineup and now Perry Farrell is calling him “Pepe Le Peu.”

Anyway, here’s the current list of acts:

Love & Special Sauce, Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, Explosions in the Sky, Brand New, Gogol Bordello, Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks, Dierks Bentley, Okkervil River, Amadou & Mariam, Blues Traveler, John Butler Trio, Girl Talk, Your Vegas, CSS, Eli “Paperboy” Reed & the True Loves, Battles, Steel Train, Jamie Lidell, Bang Camaro, Butch Walker, The Blakes, Mates of State, Tally Hall, Spank Rock, White Lies, Brazilian Girls, Magic Wands, Chromeo, Electric Touch, Duffy, Innerpartysystem, The Kills, The Postelles, Rogue Wave, The Parlor Mob, The Go! Team, Bald Eagle, Mason Jennings, Krista, The Gutter Twins, Ha Ha Tonka, Yeasayer, Witchcraft, Grizzly Bear, We Go To 11, MGMT, Sofia Talvik, The Weakerthans, Booka Shade, Santogold, Black Kids, Black Lips, Dr. Dog, Nicole Atkins & the Sea, The Ting Tings, Kid Sister, Office, The Cool Kids, What Made Milwaukee Famous, Does It Offend You, Yeah?, The Whigs, Manchester Orchestra, Foals, Uffie, The Octopus Project, Cadence Weapon, Ferras, De Novo Dahl, Noah and the Whale, Margot & the Nuclear So and So’s, K’NAAN, Serena Ryder, Newton Faulkner,

I’m most excited about The National, The Go! Team and Explosions in the Sky. Too bad I won’t be there this year as the hub’s band isn’t playing. Lolla is always a good time although I think most of the fun stems from shopping the Magnificent Mile and shooting the public art in Millennium Park.

You’re twistin’ my melon man, lp
