Jeffrey Lewis at SXSW 2008

The bastard child of Bob Dylan and David Lynch, Jeffrey Lewis writes surrealist stories about creeping animated brains, the beginning of the Soviet Union and being banned from The Roxy (though to be fair, that's a Crass cover), accompanies them with illustrations and somehow manages to be one of the most un-pretentious artists that we've ever met. Catch this fellow's unquantifiable performance at the eponymous industry love-in, SXSW in 2008.
