Excerpt:

The eccentric Morrissey is the strangest of the bunch. Historically reclusive and not particularly media-friendly, he'll take part in a Thursday Q&A and play a showcase that evening.

Even Morrissey seems to realize that SXSW's clout has grown over the past two decades.His new album, Ringleader of the Tormentors, is due out April 4. His appearance is designed to goose the music industry and start building momentum for the CD.
