A bad iPod ad helps Swedes who swing harder than the Hives finally move mass asses with a track that first hit big on Village Voice radio three years ago. A Voice teen-pop critic's band burns the flag. And his onetime Samoan replacement Jeff Dahl covers Badfinger, gets epic like Peter Laughner, and unveils what has no choice but to be this week's music biz anthem: "Shot a man in Austin/Just to watch him die." "SXSW Whore," he calls it.

Every band should cover Girlschool
