The Austin City Limits music festival lineup was announced today.
At first glance, it looked like an average lineup, but then as I kept returning to the list and carefully dissecting it, and I'm actually quite excited about it.
Still have to wait till each day's lineup is announced to see if I need a 3 day, or just a couple of single day passes.
Here's what sticks out for me:
-Beck (Always wanted to see him!)
-Vampire weekend (Should be good, seen them twice and didn't dissapoint)
-Silversun pickups
-Manu Chao (great relaxed latin summer sounds!)
-Yeasayer (they were very good at SXSW)
-The Black Keys (they were one of my favorites at SXSW)
-Against Me! (A little hard, but I run to a few of their songs)
-AA Bondy (acoustic guitar, one man show. Mellow, but great stage presence)
-the Kills (need to study them more)
-Band of Horses (need to study them more)
-MGMT (need to study them more)
and yes, Foo Fighters, AND Raconteurs may be of interest too(but i've already seen the Raconteurs). (Foo Fighters will be sooo crowded.)
Two of the possibly lesser known bands I listed are great!:
Manu Chao (I love this song!)
Yeasayer (These guys were great when I saw them at SXSW last month. Plenty of new sounds. Very forward thinking Indie style.)
and The Black Keys. (for two guys, drums and guitar, these guys put out so much energy it was awesome!)
What interests you?!

if I had to pick two of my most listened to bands of the last couple of years, then Raconteurs and Foo Fighters would be high on that list.
Foo Fighters!
