SXSW Friday Night Recommendations!

Tonight's an insanely wonderful night, and there's TONS of great bands playing. Let's just say that after compiling tonight's recommendations, I'm glad I'm not attending, simply because I know that there are at least two other shows I'd regret missing. Still, there's plenty of magic to be found, and I slightly pity those poor bastards who have to choose!
