Matching entries for 'acl 2008'ACL 2008: Photos, wrap-up and a goodbye to MikeAll you'll ever need to pretend you went to this year's Austin City Limits music fest yourself: Slideshow: Some ACL performers doing their thing • 9/30/08: Austin City Limits bucks traditions, but plays it smooth • 9/29/08: Austin City Limits... ACL 2008, Day 3: the Lovely1). At no recent ACL has the balance of the day's 60,000 festival-goers been as skewed to one side of Zilker Park as on Sunday. And Saturday, for that matter, but wait a second for that. On Sunday, 80 percent... ACL 2008, Day 3: the Bad1). Gnarls Barkley. For the last performance of a four-month tour, Cee-Lo, Danger Mouse and their tux-with-silver-bowtie-sporting backing band left way too much in the dressing room. The duo's live shows are notoriously unpredictable, both in terms of quality and... ACL 2008, Day 3: the GoodSunday was the Austin City Limits Music Festival's rockin' day; many of the acts scheduled to perform fell into the realm of modern rock, blues rock and jam rock. As such, it also ended up being the festival's lightest attendance... ACL 2008, Day 2: the Lovely1). Bizarre sight of the day: seeing a member of the grounds crew using a wet-dry vacuum to suck up standing water on the grass behind Rock Island. See: you can vacuum a lawn! 2). The Rock and Recycle volunteer... ACL 2008, Day 2: the Bad1). Erykah Badu. Sorry to say it, but Dallas' queen of neo-soul talked too much. After "Love of My Life," she threw down this bizarre scat solo using two curse words as anchors, then she spent three or four minutes... ACL 2008, Day 2: the GoodSaturday at the Austin City Limits Music Festival was about the groove.

ACL 2008: the Lovely1) This year's Official Program. It's 128 pages, color-coded and exceedingly informative. The master stroke? It's pocket sized for 2008, measuring roughly 4 by 5 inches. And it's free. 2). Labor Day may have passed by a few weeks ago,... ACL 2008: Day 1, the bad1) Paula Nelson. She's a thirtysomething Austinite who's trying to make a name for herself as a blues-rock singer. Only she never will make a name for herself because her dad, one Willie Nelson, has already done it for her.... ACL 2008: Plan B/The GoodA'ight. Since it's been established that my smartphone now officially belongs in a museum, here's the plan: I'll post three blogs a night after each day at Austin City Limits: The good, the bad, and the lovely -- 'lovely' as... ACL 2008: Technology does suck. Mine does, anyway.You nailed it, Christy. My smartphone's simply not working past 3 p.m. or so at ACL, and I suspect this is why (beware: I'm about to get a little technical, music lovers) I have an older smartphone that uses GPRS... ACL 2008: Technology sucks. Well, sometimes.Mike called and said he's having phone trouble, which is keeping him from live-blogging and twittering at the moment. He's working on it. At worst, he'll post and twitter a flurry of stuff tonight back at his room, so stay...

And oh, what joy it shall bring. I'm not talking about the music.... ACL 2008: Follow us during the music fest starting Thursday nightAustin City Limits is this Friday through Sunday, and Big Mike will be down there covering it. In addition to some cool features and live-blogging, he's trying something new. Throughout the day, each day, he'll be Twittering his observations, information... Slideshow: Lollapalooza '08It's a virtual explosion of photos on Playlist today, apparently ... check out these shots from rock fest Lollapalooza over the weekend in Chicago's Grant Park. Thor was there and wrote a review, along with a story comparing it with... Austin City Limits: Carolyn WonderlandLast night, Dallas Morning News reporter Jake Batsell saw the Austin City Limits taping of Carolyn Wonderland, who also performs Saturday at the Amphitheater at Oak Point Park in Plano.
