Austin City Limits

If you thought we had a great music festival, check out the lineup for this bad boy. Nate and I talk every year about going to it, and every year we fail in doing so. That really chaps my ass.

This year, I will have to settle (again) for the good old tv concerts on PBS. What a lineup, though. Starting on October 8, season 31 brings music lovers like myself concerts from Jack Johnson, Kathleen Edwards, Etta James, Ben Folds, The Killers, Spoon, John Prine, Amos Lee, Ray LaMontagne and Alison Krauss & Union Station. And just for good measure, on September 24th ACL is showing an encore performance of Beck, with the Flaming Lips playing backup.
