If recession woes, work, or other reasons are keeping you from attending this weekend's Austin City Limits Music Festival, here's some good news. While it won't be quite the same as standing in large, sweaty crowds, having to leave in the middle of one act to catch another one that might be better, or hearing echoes from the other stages, you will have the option of watching parts of the festival from the comforts of your office/home: Hulu will be livestreaming acts starting at 1pm Friday-Sunday. Of course, they won't be streaming the entire fest, but their planned acts include Thievery Corporation, The Dead Weather, John Legend, Andrew Bird, and more. [Hulu Blog]

As we told you yesterday, an historic event is taking place today on the internets: the first ever feature film debut on Hulu.com. Adding a double scoop of awesomeness to the occasion is the fact that said feature film happens to have local roots: CRAWFORD is a documentary about the tappity-tap-tap dancing of folksy political stagecraft and a small town population embroiled in a tensile political climate, directed by David Modigliani.

We've followed Crawford, the Austin-made documentary about a tiny Texas town thrust in the international spotlight after would-be President George W. Bush relocated there to perfect his wholesome good-old-boy image, since it was but a work in progress. After a tremendous world premiere at SXSW, Crawford went on to screen at festivals worldwide and earned plenty of praise — it inspired multiple standing ovations at SXSW, had Texas Monthly calling director David Modigliani "one of four next great Texas directors," and was even described as a "deeply committed piece of high-def storytelling" by the normally conservative (and recently departed) New York Sun.
