After a great night's rest, we were at it again. Saturday, September 27th at the Austin City Limits Music Festival featured a slew of acts that we had never experienced live before, and also a few favorites that always provide a good time. Fleet Foxes, The Fratellis, Bavu Blakes, Jose Gonzalez, Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, CSS, Man Man, Erykah Badu, Spiritualized, John Fogerty, Yonder Mountain String Band, Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, and Beck all played a part in providing the soundtrack for our day's events. Later that night, we found ourselves on Austin's famed 6th Street jumping from Man Man's aftershow at Emo's Outdoor to the Parish Room for our most highly anticipated set of the weekend, the Band Of Horses 'secret' show.

I both love and hate the fact that I live so close to Austin. Every time I am there I decide that I will soon be moving there (which obviously never happens). It is home to SxSW and ACL, and has also been branded "The Live Music Capitol of the World". The city is a music blogger's best and/or worst friend. Unfortunately, I have a bad habit of going to as many live shows as possible. The bad part of that habit is that I do not like to miss any shows. If I lived there, I'd be broke.

Really though, if we moved to Austin, who would be here to report on all of the great Houston happenings? Plus, a road trip to see two incredible bands like Caribou and Fuck Buttons always ends up being a good time.
