Joe Hertler & The Rainbow Seekers are at SXSW in Austin, Texas this year! To celebrate our local friends’ fantastic voyage to the annual music festival next week, we’ve prepared a special SXSW cut of our Spartan Session for their song “Future Talk.” Be on the lookout for our Director’s Cut of the video which will premiere Monday 3/11, officially kicking off the week of music in Austin, in addition to other SXSW related content right here on impact89fm.org.
Perhaps it was after digital media became so widespread, or maybe it was the internet, or it could be a change in music sub-culture itself, but whatever the reason genres seem to have taken on a wholly new entity.

Because no one would willingly wear something like that, you’re probably asking, “Impact, you’re a hip music site, why is he really wearing that hat? What’s the scoop?” Well, dear readers, while no one uses the term “scoop” anymore, we may have some insight for you.
10. He lost a bet.
Maybe Pharrell’s friends bet him that he couldn’t eat 50 hot dogs in 15 minutes. Maybe he bet them that he would win the Oscar for Best Original Song. Maybe he bet that the Broncos would win the Super Bowl. He might be the man behind “Get Lucky,” but eventually everyone’s luck runs out.
