Jimmy Kimmel Live is broadcasting from Austin this week, partaking in all the SXSW craziness. Last night, hometown heroes Spoon stopped by, performing “Rainy Taxi” and “I Just Don’t Understand” from last year’s They Want My Soul. You can watch both below. Spoon’s SXSW shows wrap up on Thursday (3/19) with a big free show at Auditorium Shores.

Appearing on Kimmel’s SXSW shows this week: The Weeknd on Thursday and Willie Nelson on Friday (3/20). He’s also been offering to make commercials for local Austin businesses, and got Matthew McConaughey to help out for spot for DVD/VHS rental place Vulcan Video. You can watch that below too.

BrooklynVegan is in Austin for SXSW as well, with free day parties at Red 7 on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
