Austin City Limits festival lineup!!!!

Austin City Limits just announced their 2009 line-up, and who would have guessed--Pearl Jam, The Beastie Boys, and Dave Matthews are headlining. Are these three trying to play every summer festival in the country?

Don’t think this is just another festival, though. The rest of the line-up is SICK, including the best in the rock, hip hop, folk, and of course, those festival main-stay jam bands.

The acts I’m excited about are: Kings of Leon, Bon Iver, The Avett Brothers, The Dead Weather, Blitzen Trapper, Girl Talk, Airborne Toxic Event, and The Virgins.
