If you're going to South by Southwest this year, you're a lucky soul. If not, you can experience the festival through our livestreams and staffer reports...plus a couple of choice playlists.

The Current is getting ready to throw a massive party with NoiseTrade/PledgeMusic in Austin, Texas. From March 13-16, we'll spend our afternoons hosting all sorts of musicians on two stages at the Blackheart. Luckily for those at home, Facebook users will be able to livestream all the indoor sessions, and Jade will be your guide.

At home in The Current's offices, we overheard Jade talking about a playlist she made to help her prepare for SXSW interviews, and we thought: We want to hear! In case you're right there with us, you'll find the playlist embedded below.

If you'd like to download some music as well, NoiseTrade put together a mixtape of free tracks by day party artists. It's full of gold.
