my wknd, or, what $150 + living in austin will get you

jen's very lazy* 2007 ACL lineup:

friday
joss stone (entertaining)
M.I.A. (great show)
gotan project (new one for me-- v. sexy argentinian band by way of paris)
bjork (love how weirdly unique she is)
killers (surprisingly good)

saturday
damien rice (super intense)
indigo girls (always good)
arcade fire (freaking amazing)

sunday
regina spektor/amos lee (preferred amos lee)
wilco (very good, I didn't know them that well before)
the decemberists (victims of crappy sound system)
bob dylan (historic but his voice is shot to hell)

*lazy means that I wasn't hard core enough to spend the entire day there. had I been more hard core this list would have been much, much longer but hey, I was happy with this list.

    Kelly Moon [1:18 PM]:
    he said "that's exactly why I'm not raising mine"
    Jennifer Kim [1:18 PM]:

  3. Dude, Mr. Robert Zimmerman didn't have much of a voice to begin with! Love his songs, prefer for other artists to sing 'em!

    Sounds like a great weekend, though.
