at least it's about music and not about racial baiting or hating or shit like that [/b]

what are you? his wife?

How is it kick ass when all 3 are playing at the same time?!

 Wilco, Patterson Hood, and My Morning Jacket all at the same time. Man, that would be tough.

 Whoever did the scheduling must be shot! Glad I'm not going.

I'm choosing:
 
 MIA.
 QOTSA.
 Muse.
 White Stripes.
 MMJ.

 After the LCD/Arcade Fire tour announcement and the schedule at the same day, it makes it VERY clear who to see!
 
 It's just...wow. SO good. (But I'm not knocking other festivals!)

ACL is important but not because they book better than other festivals, but rather they effectively extend the festival season almost another month.  Due to their draw, off shoots can reasonably fill a bill,   KROQ usually has their Back to the Future shows during ACL weekend and drafts off its roster.  This year one of the more interesting new efforts and whatâ??s keeping me from Austin is Monolith outside Denver, itâ??s basically a bigger Pitchfork, or a poor manâ??s Coachella depending on your perspective.  And of course the aformentioned Treasure Island Music Fest fits the category as well.

neither
 Spoon (though nota big fan by any means)
 neither
 neither
 Wilco (this would really be the only major confict for me the whole three days)
 
 There's nobody playing after 7:30 pm on any of the three days that I'd want to see, but I still think it's a great lineup. But then again, I'm biased toward the country, bluegrass, and the more poppy side of indie that ACL seems to highlight.

i thought the old and the crotchety were in bed by 7:30 anyways... no wonder you like this line-up better!  

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

I can usually last until 10 pm. 7:30 would be a good departure time, beat the crowds out.
 
 Still, my bet is that we'll end up doing the occasional Lolla, Pitchfork, or Bumbershoot Fests rather than ACL, Bonnaroo, or Coachella, since we have relatives in Chicago and Seattle.

You should have gone to Stagecoach Festival...

I would have if it had been held in VA. Still, the ACL Fest lineup offers more musical diversity, which I like.
