This year’s ACL Festival was a banner one in many ways. After 10 years, marked by explosive growth and popularity, the 10th anniversary Fest needed to be memorable.

Mylo Xyloto (Release date – October 24, 2011) Hi there readers! I can’t believe it’s been nine months since I’ve written a post. Graduate school ended back in May, and while I’ve been tossing around the idea of blogging again, the truth is that I just haven’t gotten around to it. This weekend though, I [Continue]
Last year, I started a new holiday tradition, one truly for the ages. Born out of apathy for Top Whatever end-of-year lists, I decided that it wasn’t really the Austin Girl Music Guide style to pretend like I’d listened to every album that came out in a given year carefully enough to actually rate them [Continue]

I love music and the main goal of this blog is making music accessible. I want to share the music [Continue]
Ever wonder what it’s like to be at a Coldplay show? Or perhaps to be closer than 60,000 people away? Well, wait no more! This is it…the Austin Girl Music Guide’s long-awaited video recap of Coldplay’s two shows in Dallas and Houston. I alluded to the fact that we’d be putting something together when [Continue]
Yes…I admit it…I was watching Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night and not Craig Ferguson. Why? Six words: Jon Hamm…Kitty, Daisy and Lewis. I’m sorry Craig! Anyway, Kitty, Daisy and Lewis performed “Goin’ Up The Country” last night. Here’s the link; the performance starts around the 36 [Continue]
