I Now Agree to Like Austin for One Weekend

Oh, HELL yeah. So today I saw the line-up for Ye Ole ACL Festival. Two words: Crowded House. Two words: The National. Two words: Andrew Bird. Two: Bloc Party. Two: Steve Earle. One: Muse. Two: Lucinda Williams. One: Wilco. Two real big ones: Bob Dylan.

To celebrate and revel in the excitement, I've just finished playing a song from all the ACL bands I've got on my iPod. I'm a big dork. (And I know, I'm sure I'm not the first to post the link, but you've prolly noticed I haven't been around much. Yeah, I've been feeling like the shit, but I'm not on the mend and so this is big new news for me. Go with it. Feel it.)

As well as "The Shore":
