Broken Bells – 2010 Welcome to the very first in my series of album reviews covering Austin City Limits Music Festival 2010 artists! Obviously it’s July, and the festival isn’t until October…but there’s no better time than the present to acquaint yourself with the bands who will be performing so you can plan your [Continue]
The beans have been spilled and the ACL lineup has now been out for 10 hours, giving the most opinionated of us something to complain/gloat about this morning. Much like the gal in the picture, early morning reactions have been decidedly mixed. So, let’s play this game…I’ve decided to split things up into the prestigious [Continue]
Late tonight (several hours ahead of schedule), USA Today dropped the bomb on the ACL Festival line-up due to come out tomorrow morning. Once the news hit the Twitters, there was no hope for keeping it a secret, so C3 (the organizers of the festival) wisely bumped up the release time to midnight…just a few [Continue]
FREE PRESS SUMMER FEST 2010 JUNE 5TH AND 6TH AT ELEANOR TINSLEY PARK Yeah, that’s right! The Flaming Lips are aiming to dominate their neighbor state in the next few months, as they headline March’s highly anticipated NX35 festival right after they kickoff SXSW at the Austin Music Hall. Now it’s just been announced that [Continue]
I was working on a mighty grump, in spite of the midday Jimmy John’s and bourbon. We had earlier made the decision to skip Day 3 of the ACL Festival 2009 because of the mud/sewage situation and were settled in on the couch with AGMG’s laptop patched into the TV. It was quite fortuitous that [Continue]
The Dusty Foot Philosopher Extended Edition (Reissue) – 2008 Like many, I was first introduced to K’Naan at a live show, when he was opening for Stephen and Damian Marley at Antone’s in 2006. At that time I hadn’t heard of him, so before the show we tried in vain to find videos of K’Naan [Continue]
“That’s sure a lot of tags, Pa…“ As many of you readers know, Austin Girl Music Guide’s tagline is Reviews for Regular People (new readers check out my “About This Blog” page to learn more!). I love music and the main goal of this blog is making music accessible. I want to share the music [Continue]
If you haven’t seen my ACL in 10 video yet, here it is! Hope you enjoy. This was filmed with a Flip Ultra HD camera, and again, thanks to Seanningham for working our shaky footage into a cool memoir of the 2009 festival. [Continue]
So I already admitted that I didn’t actually go to the festival on Sunday. After standing literally all day on Saturday and getting rained on for most of the day, I ventured out on Sunday to try to find rain boots. We tried several places and, of course, they were all sold out except for [Continue]
The madness continues with my review of Saturday’s shows! Most Surprisingly Awesome Show: !!! I didn’t know how I’d feel about !!!. Generally, I don’t feel good about things that are too-cool-for-school and having an unpronounceable name can definitely be seen as one of those things. But !!! put on a kick-ass show, [Continue]
