Anyone else heading to Texas this weekend?
ACL Roll Call
I wish I was going. Best festival lineup, bar none. I'll be watching on my pc.
We already know the bad news: Three high-profile acts have pulled out of the Austin City Limits Music Festival, happening Friday-Sunday at Zilker Park.
The White Stripes have shelved several dates â?? including a Saturday ACL headlining slot â?? because of drummer Meg White's "acute anxiety," according to their Web site. Guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela has cited "exhaustion" for canceling all September shows.
And troubled British breakout Amy Winehouse? Let's just hope she's getting help. Her soulful sound was a necessary boost to radio's pop drone.
Those are big holes to fill, but ACL still promises an exciting lineup of mainstream names and quirky newcomers. Three-day passes and single-day Saturday and Sunday tickets are sold-out; some one-day admissions remain for Friday.

I'm doing Monolith Festival in Denver, instead.
Plus I'll catch the first Arcade Fire/LCD Soundsystem show on Monday night!
