    Ain't it great?

    Friday and Saturday do look a lot better than Sunday. I bet they spread it out a little more.

    It's getting close!

    We finally get to attend. All 3 days.

    Wife's been hearing a lot of the bands on the Sirius Alt channel.


    (cold front...please please...)

    Other than headliners, what one band are you most wanting to hear?


    For me, it would be The Bravery.

    Arcade Fire is close second.

    If I hadn't seen Death Cab, 3 times in the past year, it would easily be them.

    are you???

    of course i'm serious.... panic is the t***.

    i am so freakin' pumped about ACL. i've got days one and two (dont care at all about day 3), plus i've got tickets to see the Drive-by Truckers late night friday @ stubbs.... maybe even a backstage pass.

    the 23rd cannot get here soon enough.

    That's a really nice lineup. I'd especially like to see (were it possible) Built to Spill, Kathleen Edwards (she's quite good), Sleater-Kinney (in Tx, no less), The Doves, Wilco and Bloc Party.

    Some pretty good bands in that lineup. I am lucky enough to be able to see Coldplay in Nashville this Sunday. But I would give anything to be able to see Wilco in the somewhat near future. :)

    ive never heard a band described as "the t***". well that settles it - i was wrong - they truly are "the t***" :D .

    can we at least both agree that coldplay sucks?

    agreed.

    coldplay is the most overrated band today. i have no desire to see them "live" at all.

    I think I'm looking foward to The Allman Brothers most of all. Definitely looking foward to seeing Widespread Panic again. If you've got nothing else planned on Saturday at 12:50, go to the Austin Ventures stage to see the Asyulm Street Spankers. They are a lot of fun. I've been wanting to see The John Butler Trio for quite a while. Other than those I've listed and of course The Black Crowes, I'll mostly be wandering.

    I've been to the previous 3 ACL's. This will be the first time I'm going solo. My wife is 8 1/2 months pregnant. I told her to at least hold off until after the Black Crowes.
