Austin City Limits

Amazing show! I saw Coldplay then Explosions in the Sky on tv, IN A ROW.

but really, I dig the show.

not the show.  the music festival

oh. They don't play music in Alaska, except for country and rap. But does that really even count?

Austin City Limits is a great thing for music

I didn't even check up on the line up this year... you see anybody good? any bands I might not have heard of that blew the roof off?

i don't know what you've heard of but of the lessor known bands I was really impressed with MGMT.  They put on an awesome show and have made me officially like the retro synth-rock revival we've got going on now.  Their song "time to pretend" was in a snowboard trailer i think, i've heard it somewhere.  But I'm pretty much obsessed with this song now:

CSS was also a weird pretty cool performance.  They are known for having one of their songs as an ipod commercial.

And a local Austin band called Electric Touch also impressed me a bunch.

And as usual The Black Keys just rocked shit.

My parents and i went two year ago and it was sick. Its def a fun time
