The official lineup has been announced. With Pearl Jam, the Beastie Boys and Dave Matthews Band headlining, I’m thinking they went with a 90’s nostalgia theme.
Right now I’m most excited for Sonic Youth, The Toadies, Arctic Monkeys, Phoenix and Kings of Leon. Although, I should probably stay away from the Kings of Leon stage. I’m [...]

I went to the new house today to start lining shelves, cleaning the bathroom, etc. I took my iPod with me, along with the portable speakers and put it on shuffle. The playlist, supposedly random, pretty much sums up how I’ve felt for the last 14 months or so. Uncanny. Here are the first eleven:

I will be going to ACL Fest this weekend along with 200,000 of my closest friends. I’m very excited and you can expect a full report, with pictures, on Monday morning.
In advance of my ACL jaunt, I thought I’d compile a list of essentials that I’ll be bringing with me this year.
