Preparations for this week’s ACL Festival<\/a> have begun in earnest. We’ve got an out-of-town guest arriving tomorrow and we secured babysitting for Saturday night so we can all see The Pixies without tired kids. Now that I’ve realized that Franz Ferdinand is responsible for “Take Me Out”, which I’ve been hearing a lot on the radio, I decided that I need to see them on Friday night. Given their similarities to Gang Of Four, it’s serendipitous that Bob<\/a> has a post<\/a> this week about everyone’s favorite late 70’s\/early 80’s punk\/funk brit band. I must dig up my out of print Infinite Zero CD of Entertainment! for another listen.<\/p>\n

Other must-see bands as far as I’m concerned are Trout Fishing In America (for the kids), Cake, Wilco, The Roots, Modest Mouse, Elvis Costello and Earl Harvin Trio. Anybody have any other recommendations? I heard a rumor that the surprise guest this year is Prince. Can anyone confirm or at least corroborate the rumor? You can e-mail me if you don’t want to incriminate yourself publicly. Really.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
