If I could be anywhere except sunny LA right now, it would definitely be Austin for the Austin City Limits music festival. I nearly flew back to Texas for it, but given my current non-employed status, it’s a good thing I didn’t. Maybe next year I can save up for it.

Anyway, the next best thing is watching the live webcast at AT&T’s Blue Room. So go check it out and get your festival fix. Especial recommendations, though I’m hoping to come out discovering some new bands myself: Vampire Weekend is being broadcast at 7:30 pm ET tonight, The Fratellis tomorrow at 2:30 ET (all times are Eastern), Conor Oberst (formerly of Bright Eyes) tomorrow at 7:30, Jose Gonzalez following him at 8:30, then on Sunday a slew of good stuff starting with The Kills and Flyleaf at 2:30 and 3:30, then Neko Case at 5:30, followed by Okkervil River, The Raconteurs, and Tegan and Sara.
