Austin City Limits 2008, Day 3: Nicole Atkins & the Sea, Okkervil River, plus the Swell Season's Austin City Limits taping
For me, the last day of a festival can go either way: I've either hit my stride and am entertaining delusions of being able to keep up the pace for another few days, or I'm dragging my feet through the dust, struggling to make it from tent to tent and ruing the fools who thought hosting an outdoor music event in [insert Southern state here] in [insert summer month here] was a good idea.... read more

Found in: Blogs, 1000 WordsAustin City Limits 2008, Day 1: M. Ward, The Swell Season
If there's one thing I have in common with the fourteen-year-old indie girls of America, aside from the inability to properly apply eyeliner, it's that I can credit Zooey Deschanel's involvement with She & Him with introducing me to the duo's inarguably more musically established half, M. Ward. His dreamy, bottom-of-a-deep-dark-well crooning on "You Really Got A Hold On Me" and "I Should Have Known Better" on Volume One gave me the long-overdue push to explore his solo catalog. It's proved to be an absolute revelation but also a never-ending source of guilt for not listening sooner. I've been actively... read more

Found in: Music, NewsIron & Wine and Bill Callahan go touring with Swell Season
Two short months ago, we provided you with a list of dates that The Swell Season would be offering up this summer. It seems that was only the beginning. Now, the Once pair has gone and announced even more dates with some pretty spectacular opening acts. Imagine, if you will, an enchanted evening where you are serenaded by not only Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova and their band, but also Iron & Wine and Bill Callahan. Sounds like quite a night, no? You can make it a reality by simply buying some tickets. Dreams do come true: August 9 -... read more
Found in: Music, NewsFoo Fighters, Plant & Krauss, Beck head 2008 ACL line-up
It was cool when the Austin City Limits Music Festival leaked a line-up teaser last week in the form of a musical mash-up featuring 29 of the artists playing the 2008 festival. We had fun guessing. Thankfully though, the festival organizers have now put us out of our misery and simply told us who's playing. All the obsessive speculation can quit, because here the lucky bands be. The top half (and therefore ostensibly the more important half?) of the poster reads as follows: Foo Fighters, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, Beck (long live the '90s!), Manu Chao, John Fogerty, David... read more
