Even as short as a week ago, this Austin City Limits Festival weekend felt so far away. Now, here I am, with one week to go / left until deadline and this cool 3-day festival starts.
I plan on checking out Manchester Orchestra this afternoon at 4pm. Then I'd like to see Crowded House, Queens of the Stone Age (I haven't heard their new album yet, so not sure I'll like their new tunes ... anyone else heard that album and have any thoughts???), Kaiser Chiefs, The Killers, The Mighty Clouds of Joy, and Louis XIV.
Tomorrow features Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Arcade Fire, and Muse. Sunday features Bob Dylan and Band (amongs dozens of other acts, of course).
Am (finally) listening to David Crowder's Remedy album. CCM asked me to write their cover story on him. Plan are for me to go visit him in Waco next Tuesday for a nice long interview. It's interesting that our church has been singing his song, "Everything Glorious" for months now. Maybe it was released that long ago. I don't know how these things work, but will endeavor to find out. I'm looking forward to talking to him. I have some interesting ideas to explore for this story. I hope it turns out great.
