Austin City Limits 2009 Lineup Announced
by Michael
If you’ve been hiding under a rock for fear of contracting the Swine Flu, you might have missed the lineup announcement for this year’s installment of the Austin City Limits festival (Official Link) – and it looks to be a hell of a lineup. They are clearly going for a certain demographic (which I am fairly certain that I belong to), and at $185 for a 3-day Pass it comes in less per-day than seeing any of the headliners solo. The festival takes place October 2-4, 2009 at Zilker Park in Austin, TX.
No trackbacks yet.

If you had to choose your top three rap / hip-hop songs of all time, what would they be? As I got on down to my Old School Mix at the gym today, that question worked its way into my head. My top two came to me immediately. The third took a few more seconds [...]

Beastie Boys on Fallon

The Beastie Boys appeared on Jimmy Fallon last night. Some thoughts:
The Beastie Boys still kick ass.
The Beastie Boys are aging right along with the rest of us (except for that poofy haired Mike D. What’s his secret?).
I know their schedule is pretty full, but the Roots clearly need to be the Beasties’ full time backing [...]

Sometimes there is a playlist involved, sometimes there isn’t. Sometimes we have guest, but [...]

“Who starts a tour at Madison Square Garden?”
Apparently when you are Dave Matthews Band, the answer is, well, you. Returning to the last venue the band played at the close of their 2008 tour, the band kick started their 2009 tour with a set that could really only be described as epic. [...]

Looks like the year you should make the trip! I’m staying home this year due to the Recession Recovery Plan in the House of Ick.
The webcast on AT&T Music will have to suffice.

Based on current financial outlook on this side this is out of my reach this year (we’re already traveling to see Dave Matthews Band again in July.) I’m with Gonzo though, this is the ACL to see… so much goodness in 3 days.
