Action City Limits

Just kidding - I'm talking some ACL here, but the Austin variety. I've always liked that show, and it doesn't matter who is playing; I'm usually in for at least a few songs. When it's a group I actually like, it's easily my favorite live music show.

A short list of bands that I think would be perfect in that venue:

• Radiohead (loved the free webcast show from the end of their last tour)
• Portishead (almost as fun to watch as they are to listen to - the Live @ Roseland DVD will suffice)
• Slint (would love to get a close-up view of the drumming and strumming)

Here are some of the bands they've had recently that impressed me:

St. Vincent
The Decemberists
Arcade Fire

And you can find lots of older footage on YouTube. I recommend it.





Here's the very first episode. Awesome.
