  • 2009 Line Up for Austin City Limits Music Festival Released
  • Austin City Limits Lineup Out
  • NPR Gives Away 12-Song Folk Sampler
    • ]]>     The line-up for this year’s Austin City Limits Music Festival has finally been an announced.  I’m not gonna lie, I am a little disappointed.  They have still managed to garner a big list of artists that I would love to see, I am pretty underwhelmed by the choice of headliners.  While I have respect for the Eagles and can appreciate their past contributions to the music world, they are not the kind of band that I want to camp out in front of their stage in anticipation all weekend. In fact, if I am able to attend the festival this year, I will probably leave before their set  so I can get back in time to save a vacation day from work.  The Flaming Lips, The Strokes and Phish were all decent choices.   I don’t love either of those groups albums, but I think their performances will be a ton of fun for all in attendance.  While the other two (Muse & M.I.A.) definitely deserve an invite, I think they were pretty poor choices as headliners for festival of this caliber.  While it doesn’t match up to Bonnaroo’s stellar line-up, it is still a pretty great one overall, and well worth the trip if you are able to get your hands on a weekend pass (which I believe are already sold out).

    Here is a look at the rest of this year’s line-up.

    • ]]>     Before I get started today, I gotta give some backstory. One of our lovely readers, @jonodom, challenged anybody and everybody to listen to their entire music library from A-Z. I took up the challenge, as some peeps who follow me on twitter, @codybrom (shameless plug), might already know. Anyways, I was hoping that maybe I’d be able to find a track just based on what I’d heard so far, which amounts to 386 songs totaling just over 24 hours.

    And I emerge triumphant with an amazing mashup by Aggro1.

    First up, I must admit, I’m not a huge fan of either Kelly Clarkson or The Eagles. But for some reason I’m tempted to go buy entire back catalogs of both artists after this mashup. Clarkson’s vocals are crisp, clear, and unmistakably great. The Eagles smooth guitar work finds a great match with Clarkson’s vocals, and even when the tempo picks up the song holds. I love this song, and would definitely listen in on more.

    Aggro1 – Since You’ve Been Gone One of These Nights (Kelly Clarkson v. The Eagles)

    I hope your ears know what they’ve been missing out on.
