Mirabelle Marden and TWIN BIKE (Rachelyn Remz-Porter and Mariko Munro) will be contributing reporting, photos, and other goodies direct from the South by Southwest Festival in Austin. 

Total cutie Alan Palomo (aka Neon Indian) hasn't missed a single SXSW since he was a junior in high school, so he figured he may as well take a week off and enjoy himself. We caught up with him for a quick version of the lightning round….and we can’t wait to hear his new record, which is being mixed now! Swoon.

Tacos or BBQ?
Tacos. Like that's even a question!

Beach or Forest?
Forest.

What is your go-to karaoke song?
"Wuthering Heights"

Roy Orbison or Willie Nelson (they're both Texan!)?
Roy Orbison

Tell me a great joke!

What is your desert island disc?
Well...it might have to be the Avalanches' Since I Left You.

What is your favorite tiny thing?
My tiny harmonica! Either that or the sound card for the Atari 2600.

What is your spirit animal?
Pegasus? That's actually Prince's spirit animal because there is an album cover with him on Pegasus. I'll go with a snow owl.
