Yesterday, the Austin City Limits Music Festival released the schedule in grid form for this years event. The 2008 edition of the festival is being headlined by The Foo Fighters, Robert Plant & Allison Krauss, and Beck among others. With the schedule out a good three-and-a-half months before the start of the festival, It gives attendees plenty of time to plan their route of attack. Many conflicts are already standing out for me including N.E.R.D. vs. David Byrne on Friday, September 26th, Beck vs. Robert Plant & Allison Krauss on Saturday the 27th, and The Raconteurs vs. Gnarls Barkley on Sunday the 28th. There are plenty more conflicts on top of those, but when you enjoy and care about music as much as we do, you're bound to have these problems at music festivals.

Band Of Horses became my most anticipated band to see after I checked Radiohead off the list last weekend. ACL needs to hurry up and get here damnit!

This is their new video for "No One's Gonna Love You", my second favorite song off of Cease To Begin (I could SLEEEP, I could SLEEEeep, when I lived alone, is there a ghost in my house...).

It's quite an odd video with all the bottle breaking, but what the hell, right?

The initial line-up for this years Monolith Festival was released today. It features local favorites Devotchka headlining Saturday, September 13, and Parisian electro-geniuses Justice closing the festival on Sunday, September 14. The second annual event is set to take place at the unbelievably gorgeous Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Denver, CO. Also featured on the bill are recent blog darlings Vampire Weekend, Seattle's Band Of Horses, hip-hop hipster Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, soul-songstress Sharon Jones and her Dap Kings, and iPod Touch-commercial stars CSS.

This week's Video Omelette features the bands that I'm currently overplaying. I always find myself overplaying bands and getting really sick of them. I never seem to learn my lesson either, which in turn makes me stop listening to bands for a while. Maybe that is why I am constantly seeking out new music? Actually, I'm sure that's why.

Anyway, here is my Video Omelette.

Keeping a New Years resolution is pretty much impossible for me. I am sure many people are in the same boat. I have quit smoking three times. I have gone on four unsuccessful diets. It just does not work for me. This year I have decided to make one that would stick. My New Years resolution is to see as many great live acts as I can in 2008. I have not had any trouble going to great live shows in the past so I thought that this would be the perfect resolution for me (I am quitting smoking for a fourth time on the 7th of January. The reason for quitting on the 7th is to make sure it's not actually a resolution).

The beginning of this year is shaping up to be a pretty exciting one musically. Bands are starting to book their spring dates, and Houston, Austin and beyond are starting to fill in their calendars. Here's a list of shows that we here at Breakfast On Tour are really starting to get amped about.
