Stephen Thompson, NPR Music:
In preparation for the 2010 South by Southwest music festival (March 17-20), NPR Music's staff has spent weeks sampling songs by more than 1,000 of the acts in attendance. Some reaffirmed our pre-existing love, a few came out of nowhere to stake at least a momentary claim on our affections, and many made us want to superglue our index fingers into our respective ear canals. The 100 songs in this ridiculously bountiful — but by no means definitive — six-and-a-half-hour mix all passed a simple litmus test, summed up in six simple words: "Yeah, I'd listen to that again."
When you click the "Listen Now" link below, you'll join the stream in progress, rather than starting from the beginning. Arranged alphabetically by artist, the songs will run in order as a continuously looping stream.
