Torn ACL
Talk about an injury! Wilco playing at the same time as Franz Ferdinand? What to do?So the ACL schedule is up, and I'm torn in a few ways:
1. The afforementioned Wilco Franz Ferdinand dilemma.
(Although I already know I like Wilco more... but Franz Ferdinand have a new album coming out on Oct. 3, and I missed them last year...)
2. $105 is a lot of money to spend to go out in the heat when you have no a/c in your car.
3. The first two days have a combined number of 1 1/2 "must see" bands*.
4. Dude, it was SOOO hot last year!
What to do?
*I am using the most exclusively narrow definition of "must see" in this case. A "must see" band in this sense must meet three of the following four criteria:
1.) I have never seen this band in concert before (Thus excluding Deathcab from Day 2 and Spoon from Day 1 - although I would give at least one extremity to hear a rousing live version of "I Summon You" or "The Beast and Dragon, Adored")
2.) If I have seen this band before, they must have released a new album since the last time I've seen them (This keeps Spoon in the running for "must see")
3.) I would actually pay a significant portion of a one-day ticket price to see the bands on a particular day if they were playing in a club, rather than ACL.
4.) (This is a sub-point to #2) I would pay (or have paid) full-price for this band's album and STILL pay a reasonable cover charge to see this band at a club.

Here's to one day passes!
Death Cab's new album comes out August 30, keeping them in "the running."
First of all, what's with ACL being pretty much only great on Sunday.
Second of all, what's with that first comment.
I'm down with Brett on the one day pass and trying to see the other shows around town.
