This week, The Doomed & Stoned Podcast focuses on SXSW....well, sorta. Actually, the official SX events kinda suck this year, at least from the perspective of heavy music. Just a bunch of corporate hipster bullshit, but I mean, to each his own. What do I know? Good music is what I know! I sniff out the tunes, man. And the best action for your time and money is happening this week in unofficial showcases: Ripple Music's Black Smoke Conjuring (Tuesday, March 14th) and SX Stoner Jam Free Show! 23 Heavy Tripped out bands (Wednesday, March 15th).

On the program (in order of play): White Light Cemetery, Psychotic Reaction, Salem's Bend, DUEL, BoneHawk, Greenbeard, Buffalo Fuzz, Switchblade Jesus, Smokey Mirror, Plastic Daggers, Fox 45, Blackwülf, Crypt Trip, Great Electric Quest, Forming the Void, Ancient VVisdom, From Beyond, Illustrations, the Munsens, and Tia Carrera!
