Jermaine’s [ACL] Sweet Beats and Eats!

It’s that time again for another Austin City Limits Music Festival in our very own back yard of Zilker Park. As I remember all the live music, food, parties and great people watching of Lollapalooza a few months ago, I have put together some of my favorite food spots and the musicians I most look forward to rocking out to.
Sweet Beats!
He is known for often performing in a costume head depicting a comical “dead mouse” and with his recent appearance at the 2010 MTV Music Video Awards, Deadmau5 is set to rock the crowd with his progressive/house DJ set. This should be a great time to see the masses cutting loose and getting down. A little dancing never hurt anybody!
Even though I saw them stage side at Lollapalooza in August, I am still super excited to see The XX again. This trio has made a staple in my library of music. I always find myself putting on their album and letting it play over and over. This is a great band that you will not want to miss.
Vampire Weekend is another one of my “Finally Bands” – as in I finally get to see them live. When I first heard of the band in 2008, I have to admit it was not my thing at the time. But now, everytime I hear M79 I feel like jumping up out of my seat with my hands in the air and dancing. If you make me dance, then you are cool with me.
Sweet Eats
Beef fajita Nachos from Baby A’s - Barton Springs Rd. have a special place in my heart. Served on fried corn tortilla cut in halves with a side of guacamole, sour cream and pico de gallo, you can’t go wrong. And to top it all off, there is a location a few blocks east of the festival entrance.
Moonshine’s corndog shrimp are stellar. Every time I eat one of these I feel like a little kid again. If you haven’t had a chance to experience the greatness, unfortunately they will not be at this years festival but you can always take a break and head down to their restaurant located on Red River St. in downtown Austin.
