Besides our written coverage of this year’s South by Southwest, we figured a video recap of each day’s festivities might be appropriate as well. So without further ado, here is the recap for day one + 12 hours (we started a little late) of SXSW 2008…

R.E.M. performed “Second Guessing” at Schubb’s

Lightspeed Champion was at Urban Outfitters

The BBC interviewed MGMT

DeVotchka performed “Queen of the Surface Streets” on the Current Stage

Sons and Daughters performed “The Nest” on the Current Stage

Billy Bob Thorton spoke….

Saul Williams was at a convention center

The Black Keys were at Emo’s

Keep checking back for more. Pitchfork has tons a bunch of recaps from Wednesday. SXSW.com also has their own coverage.
