One Paul Ford listened to 763 songs appearing at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, and wrote six-word reviews of each.

No idea if he’s a good reviewer, but he’s an amusing one. Some favorites:
-
Not bad from 2:28 to 3:16
-
Corn syrup and carbonated goat jism.
-
(on song 9999 (Ways to Hate Us)) - I just found one more way.
-
All of Britain issues synthesizers, apparently.
-
They took on songwriting… and lost.
-
Treacle. I want to stab dolphins.
-
30 seconds of limp, torpid moaning.
-
Finally, a definitive robot pony song.
-
Wants to be weird; just quirky.
-
You can have too much cowbell.
