ACL Schedule Up!
The 2005 ACL Festival Schedule was posted online yesterday, and for the most part it looks like they spaced the acts out pretty well. Though we'll still probably spend the next two months at work dreaming up dozens of band-hopping strategies, thus far we're pretty stoked to be able to see awesome acts like the Kaiser Chiefs, Bloc Party, Arcade Fire, and The Decemberists without having to forego another great band at the same time. Of course there are those gaffes that'll have us flip-flopping for weeks, such as:
- Spoon or Thievery Corporation?
- Kasabian or Mike Doughty?
- The Fiery Furnaces or The Walkmen?
- Doves or Rilo Kiley or our good buddy Austin Hartley-Leonard? Gah!
- Wilco or Franz Ferdinand?
- Keane or Getting Sloshed At The Beer Hall? (Winner: Beer!)
Go pore over it yourself, and come discuss your plans at tonight's Happy Hour. In the coming weeks we'll be posting each contributor's hit list so you'll know where to find the cool kids. And us.
