Music Bits: Rolling Stones, Concert On Sales, Brothers and Sisters
- Wild Horses Couldn't Sell Those Cheap Seats: Charles Attal must be having some trouble filling those far corners of Zilker Park, because KGSR sent out an email this week offering four Rolling Stones tickets and four concert T-Shirts for $199. If you're keeping score, this is roughly half of the original $95 ticket cost. If you'd like to take advantage of the offer, head over here. - New Concerts Going On Sale his...
Concert Update: Bitter Tea And A Wordless Chorus
Fans of the indie-rock will find much to like in the latest concert update. Flying V lovers My Morning Jacket, the willfully obtuse Fiery Furnaces, and alt.country godfather Jay Farrar have each been added to Austin's fall music schedule. As we've mentioned, the sheer volume of shows is unprecedented, so get out and enjoy the fact that every band you like is coming to town in the next two months. Thanks as always to...
Say Goodnight and Go
If you are a fan of The OC or have a copy of the Garden State soundtrack, you have heard Imogen Heap before. Part of the duo that is (or was?) Frou Frou, last year she released her solo album Speak for Yourself, which we downloaded as soon as we found it. One of our favorite songs on the album, "Hide and Seek," is a strange yet beautiful vocoder experiment. The harmonics are perfectly...

Lineup Announced For That Other Festival in the Scorching Heat
Austin City Limits is pretty nifty, we'll admit. But let's face it: the lineup for Coachella, ACL's glammed-up West Coast sibling in the desiccated wastelands near Joshua Tree, has all but reigned supreme these last few years. And this year, they're at it again; earlier this week they announced the full roster for the two-day festival, to be headlined this year by Depeche Mode (huzzah!) and ... Tool (huh?). The entire lineup: Saturday, April...
