"A gentleman is one who never hurt's anyone's feelings unintentionally." ~Oscar WildeThe announcement was made recently finalizing the much anticipated Austin City Limits Music Festival line-up. Headlining are the Red Hot Chili Peppers, pictured below and last relevant sometime in the early 2000s:
Featured is a broke down Will Farrell along with his old friends, the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I'm going to share some gems by the other "decent" groups that are supposed to be in Austin, Texas this fall. Those others will be more in tune with the notion of "folksy charm" rather than "all washed up".
Steve Earle - Colorado Girl
Avett Brothers - Tear Down the house
Bloc Party - Hunting for Witches (Crystal Castles mix)
M. Ward - Never Had Nobody Like You (ft Zooey Deschanel)
Aviici - Levels
(just in case you haven't heard this one yet)
I could probably go through the entire line up and find far better material by any of the other artists, aside from the all-washed-up-n-at Red Hot Chili Peppers, but I know you don't have all day. I guess somewhere, somehow, to someone, those red hots are still red hot. They're too cold to normal folk though and it makes me wonder if ACL will be 'cool' next year or if hipsters need a new venue. Austin, you've been warned.
