sing me spanish techno

acl was fantastic. quick run down.

non musical highlights:
  • our hotel. i highly recommend the holiday inn express. best free continental breakfast in the world. frankly. the whole place rocked my face off.
  • GIANT lone stars
  • new kick ass programs
  • biking. in austin. at night. we biked to the park everyday. the first day though we biked from downtown. biking to 6th street across the bridge. cool breeze. i know where i belong. i want to bike in austin every night.

musical highlights:

  • band of horses. they played the great salt lake at dusk. last day of the festival. the most magical time.
  • tegan and sara. always a delight. and fucking hilarious.
  • robert and ms krauss. i love me some krauss.
  • conor doing a simon and garfunkel cover
  • okkervil river rocking out. way more extreme than i thought they would.
  • STARS telling us the water was poison.
  • CSS. one word: bodysuit.
  • FLEET FOXES. thank you thank you, you beardy mountain men.
  • and David MF Byrne. founder of my favorite band. i absolutely adored the people on stage and their interpretive dancing.

successful weekend.
