[kj] sxsw in the nursery

[n0153 jr]

The Dillinger Escape Plan is not to be missed... but I believe that boat has
sailed since their show was earlier this week... their new album just came
out and it is as AMAZING as anything they have ever done before... one of
those bands that gives me some hope for the future... TDEP is simply
phenomenal.
