Austin Music MinuteAustin Music Minute Picks for ACL Fest This WeekendLet the madness begin. The 2012 Austin City Limits Music Festival has returned, and attendees are faced with the daunting task of deciding which artists they'd like to see as they wander throughout Zilker Park. Again, it's a great problem to have, but it can be overwhelming, even if you're armed with a schedule you put together beforehand. I, your humble Austin Music Minute maven Laurie Gallardo, may not be able to help too much in that department, but I do have a handful of personal recommendations I'm looking forward to. I've included links so you can check their music out.
