NPR:

It says a lot about SXSW’s size and scope that this “sampler” of the annual music festival spans six and a half hours, but here we are: 100 songs by 100 artists worth discovering at this year’s big event.

Handpicked from among thousands of artists, this genre-traversing playlist picks highlights, discoveries and future thrills from this year’s festival — and, for the next 30 days, it’s available for free download in its entirety, as one 813 MB zip file, right here.

As much as many of us hate the hype surrounding the SXSW conference, there is often some very good “undiscovered” bands and music at the show. Thanks to Dan Frakes for the heads up.
