New Decemberists Album Due January 18th

ACL Lineup Announced

Well it's that time of year when we get to see who we'll be sweating it out to here in the Austin summer. As usual the headliners are a bit weak with the exception of the Beastie Boys who always bring it live. The other two headliners are "Alt Rawk" heavy weights Pearl Jam and "Jam Banders" Dave Mathews. Some good acts include: Sonic Youth, Mos Def, Arctic Monkeys, The Decemberists, Bon Iver, Phoenix, Girl Talk, The Walkmen, Blitzen Trapper, School Of Seven Bells, Robyn Hitchcock and Passion Pit. Maybe it's because I'm old but I really don't mind leaving early!
