Weren't we just in Austin?

The official 2008 Austin City Limits Festival line-up was released this morning and the names are the usual blend of cutting edge and classic. Headliners include Foo Fighters, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, Beck, David Byrne, Gnarls Barkley, The Raconteurs, Patty Griffin, Band of Horses, Neko Case, Vampire Weekend, Jenny Lewis and many, many more (including burgeoning Brit sensation Duffy, who intrigues me). Plenty of North Texans dotting the three-day fest this year as well, including Erykah Badu, the Eli Young Band, Bavu Blakes (who presently calls Austin home) and Elizabeth Wills. Tickets are on sale through the fest's Web site.
