ACL Lineup Preview

Every year the folks at the Austin City Limits festival find a creative and exciting way to give a sneak peak at the lineup. I love it, but it drives me a little crazy every time... This year is a mashup of tunes from 29 of the 130 artists that will perform: http://www.aclfestival.com/mashup/

So far I've noticed the following acts:
Hot Chip
Duffy (yeah!)
Siversun Pickups
Gnarls Barkley
NERD
Neko Case
CSS
The Raconteurs
Jamie Lidell
MGMT
Del The Funky Homosapien
Okkerville River
Octopus Project
Heartless Bastards
Robert Earl Keen
Kate Nash
Man Man

Take a listen and let me know if you hear anyone else!! I was really hoping to hear Radiohead....twice in one year...amazing! Coldplay's new album comes out in June and it would be pretty terrific if they joined the lineup.

I'm pretty psyched about MGMT, Del, Gnarls, Hot Chip, DUFFY, and NERD!!
