The Austin City Limits Music Festival 2008 official lineup is here. So much far a Stone Temple Pilots coup d'etat. The boys are back together again. That being said, this year's ACL will once again rock Zilker Park. There's so many different sounds of music under one sky, your not gonna know what to do with yourself. Taking a quick look at the lineup, I've drawn up an initial list of "must see" acts for me.

Additions and changes are bound to happen.

• Foo Fighters (me and friend of mine tried a couple time to see them earlier this year... the time is now)
  
• Beck (saw him live a couple years ago, really dug the show and his music)
  
• David Byrne (the living legend, never had the chance to hear him play during South by Southwest)
  
• The Raconteurs (I see them next month and I gonna see them again!)
  
• The Mars Volta (they just played in Austin and I missed my chance, here we go again)
  
• Gnarls Barkley (how can you not like this duo)
  
• Tegan & Sara (my favorite Canadian twins, saw them last year, they had to cancel their ACL'05 appearance)
  
• Band Of Horses (again, another band I missed out on earlier this year)
  
• The Swell Season (hell yes!, it's Glen Hansard (The Frames) and Markéta Irglová from the indie film Once, I got the see them live this past November, just love them)
  
• Gogol Bordello (another band I missed which recently played in Austin, I could've, I will now)
  
• Okkervil River (local Austin group, be the first time catching them live, let alone really getting a chance to listen to them)
  
• Hot Chip (digg their sound, another first time for me)
  
• Vampire Weekend (I've been so damn lazy about buying their album, I make it right)
  
• CSS (so much damn fun they should be outlawed, saw them when they opened for Ladytron, that whole night was insanely great)
  
• Jamie Lidell (saw him when he opened for Beck, unlike some other people, his music works for me)
  
• The Octopus Project (about damn time I get to see them this year, truly one of my favorite local Austin bands)
  
• White Denim (local Austin band which is taking indie rock and slapping it up side its head)
  
• Mates Of State (Kori and James are back in Austin again, last saw them during Fun Fun Fun Fest '07)

Diamond Dave

Van Halen: iTunes | Official Site | Last.fm | Wikipedia

Let me make something clear. This concert was indeed Van Halen not Van Hagar. David Lee Roth, a.k.a. Diamond Dave, was back with the boys and they all rocked! Everyone on stage and in the arena was having a great time. Van Halen looked great and sounded awesome. Once again, here was a band from my youth I was finally able to see reunited and live in concert.

Everybody wants some!
I want some too.

Alive 2007

Daft Punk: iTunes |  Last.fm | MySpace | Official Site | Wikipedia| YouTube

Yes, I still need to purchase Daft Punk's Alive 2007 album. This is regardless to the fact that I already have the bootleg. It was released just a week after the original concert. The recording puts you right there in the crowd and damn if they ain't having an awesome time. I can only hope, someday the French techno funk duo will make their way to central Texas.

Also have a look at fellow Voxer(s) W♥M recent post Daft Punk - Alive 2007.

That all being said, here are a couple alternate videos for Daft Punk's Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.

The location has been chosen and the date has been set.

Seat location: section F4, row 13, seat 4

This seat is not that far over from where I was seating during The Police concert last week.

Here are the lucky three Texas cities, all within my reach. I just need to choose which city and which friend.

The far right column is for VIP Tickets. Tickets will be sold through Ticketmaster.

Dallas, TX

The Police: iTunes | Last.fm | MySpace | Official Site | Wikipedia

Now with photos.

I went to see The Police last night at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, TX. Once again, it was glorious. Previously, I saw them earlier this year when they played at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, TX. Considering that was the first time I got to see The Police play live, it was truly a "holy fuck, I'm actually at The Police concert!" I didn't take my compact digital camera into the Dallas concert. I did sort document the trip. For the San Antonio concert, I had my iPhone.
