ACL Line-up

Well the 2008 ACL Music Festival line-up is out. With Foo Fighters, Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, Beck, Manu Chao, John Fogerty, David Byrne, The Raconteurs, and Mars Volta headlining this years festival. I have to say I am very disaapointed with the headliners, Foo Fighters, Manu Chao, David Byrne and Mars Volta do nothing to excite me. Robert Plant & Alison Krauss and Beck will be very cool. The Raconteurs will be awesome to see again as they were one of the highlights a couple years ago. John Fogerty maybe cool to see but doesn't excite me that much.

Other bands I am looking forward to seeing:
Gnarls Barkley, Conor Oberst And The Mystic Valley Band, Robert Earl Keen, Iron & Wine, G. Love & Special Sauce, Neko Case, Band Of Horses, Gillian Welch, Eli Young Band, The Black Keys, Okkervil River, Alejandro Escovedo, Roky Erickson, Drive-By Truckers, Ryan Bingham, Scott Biram, Shooter Jennings, South Austin Jug Band, Band of Heathens, Kevin Fowler.

While I am disappointed with the headliners, as I was hoping for R.E.M. or Pearl Jam instead of Foo Fighters, it will still be a great weekend of music and alot of fun.
