I know there’s probably only one of you that remembers back when I was doing custom playlists on request.

Those were the days. I should revive that game.

At any rate, a lot of geeks like myself are heading down to Austin next month for SXSW Interactive, possibly the Mecca of all web conferences. In the spirit of the event being in Austin (you never have to go far for great Texas blues with absolutely no cover charge) and in true social networking fashion, I asked people on Twitter today to name a single song that would be their theme song for SXSW. They could only choose one song. I’ve compiled this into a playlist for you.

1. Simple Man – Lynryd Skynrd
2. I Turn My Camera On – Spoon
3. Parent’s Just Don’t Understand – Fresh Prince
4. Party Up – DMX
5. Guitars and Video Games – Sunny Day Real Estate
6. I Feel it All – Feist
7. You Won’t See Me – The Beatles

As a bonus, here are some tracks I would add:

1. Video Killed the Radio Star – Amber Pacific/Punk Goes 80s
2. Fake Tales of San Francisco – Arctic Monkeys
3. Lights and Sounds – Yellowcard
4. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road – Elton John
5. In God’s Country – U2
6. Every Night’s Another Story – The Early November

What are your theme songs for SXSW? :-)
