Just a heads up for you music fans. I watched Austin City Limits last night (Friday), but I know many of you get ACL on Saturday or Sunday. Two excellent bands were featured last night - Death Cab For Cutie, and My Morning Jacket.

The good news is the music - very good. The bad news, especially with My Morning Jacket, is that these guys are absolutely boring on stage. Their music is slow much of the time anyway by design. But when you have slow music paired with 4 guys barely moving on stage, it is boring (to me at least). And Jim James and the MMJ boys all look like something from the movie "Hair". It was like watching 4 "Cousin Its" on stage, as their long hair covered their faces for most of the show.

But don't conclude from this that I don't like MMJ, because I do. Their album "It Still Moves" (no relation to my Cousin It comment above) stays in regular rotation at my house.

For those that are interested, set your TIVOs and watch this episode.

My cable guide said Jon Fogerty is tonight. I think the two bands you mentioned were on a week ago Saturday on the PBS stations in this region.

Not on in Colorado until Feb. 28. Thanks for the heads up! I'll set the Tivo!

(edit) Wow, next month, The Killers and Spoon!

JD, That's one of my favorite Guy Clark lines, out of about a million favorites.

Trivia question: Where did the band Death Cab for Cutie get its name?

It's hard to find a bad Guy Clark song or lyric isn't it?

As to your trivia question, I even tried cheating on-line and couldn't find the answer. I'm sure some indie hipster will chime in here though.

Sure is hard to find a bad Guy Clark lyric. After reading your post I set iTunes to play random Guy Clark songs.

Indie hipsters will be no help on the trivia question. Hint: Go back to your childhood.

Caught them last weekend, Fogerty is up this week on TimeWarnerCable and Yes on Soundstage...I really liked My Morning Jacket...which of their ceedees are the best?...a
