Now that the technical difficulties have been cleared up, the most important piece of news I have to share is the events at the Austin City Limits music festival last weekend. We had a blast. At times it was hard to remember why I was there, since the temperature would get well over 100 degrees fahrenheit all weekend, but then a good band would come on and you’d forget about it.

The best bands that I saw are (in no particular order):
Antibalas
Broken Social Scene
Pixies
American Analog Set
Modest Mouse
Spoon
Franz Ferdinand
Medeski, Martin and Wood

All of these bands are worth checking out.

The biggest suprise for me was the Pixies. Even though everyone I know likes them, I’d never really listened to them, for some reason. Five minutes into the show I was already a fan. I was a fan of all the other bands already, so no real suprises.

I’ve seen American Analog Set multiple times and this was by far the best show so far.
