The annual South by Southwest festival is the music industry's equivalent of college spring break -- when musicians, industry types and fans crowd Austin, Texas, for four days of concerts, booze and barbeques. Today, we find out what's hot at this year's festival. Also: 26-year-old concert pianist Jonathan Biss already has a shelf full of awards and a contract with EMI. Today he previews his new collection of works by Robert Schumann, and shares his own iPod playlist. Finally: Is hip-hop relevant to middle-aged white guys?
