As reported last week, the 2008 edition of the Austin City Limits music festival is scheduled to release its line-up on the 15th of April. To tide you over until then, the kind folks at C3, who put on the festival, decided to leak a few of the artists (29 to be exact) to the masses. It is not as easy as reading a list though. This year they decided to release a mash-up which features the leaked artists all in one short mp3 file. From what I hear in the mash-up, it is going to be one fun September in Austin!

The latest installment of my Video Omelette includes some new videos from Hot Chip and Bon Iver, a classic cut from two of the greatest songwriters ever, and two of the acts I am most excited to see at this weekend's Westheimer Block Party.
