"Before you know it as the years go by, you're just like other people you have seen, with all those peculiar human ailments. Just another vehicle for temper and vanity and rashness and all the rest. Who wants it? Who needs it? These things occupy the place where a man's soul should be." -- Henderson the Rain King

ACL Fest!

The Austin City Limits Festival lineup was announced today and it more than made up for yesterday's disappointing Bumbershoot announcement. The lineup for the first two years of the ACL festival were both superb, but this is looking like the best one yet! Some of the artists I'm most excited about include:
  • Wilco
  • Arcade Fire
  • Death Cab For Cutie
  • The Decemberists
  • Fiery Furnaces
  • Built To Spill
  • Lucinda Williams
  • Steve Earle
  • Bobby Bare Jr.
  • Mike Doughty
  • Franz Ferdinand
  • Oasis
  • Jet
  • The Black Keys
  • The Walkmen
  • The Secret Machines
  • Ambulance LTD
  • Spoon
  • Mofro
In other news, ACL also announced that they will be reducing the capacity by 10,000 people per day to help alleviate some of the overcrowding effect people complained about last year. Smaller crowds + better overall lineup? Sign me up!
