low-res south by

Two minutes and seventeen seconds from my favorite acts at SXSW ‘08, including appearances by We Are Standard, Liam Finn, Duffy, Ludacris, X, Vampire Weekend, Sia, Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong, R.E.M., and My Morning Jacket. Music by We Are Standard.

I know I said it would be hard for any act to top Friday’s set by X, but on Saturday the Basque band We Are Standard tore it up during their intimate South By set.
