Common will massage positive vibes into your sunburned, dehydrated exoskeleton.

The Austin City Limits Music Festival announced its official
aftershows this morning. They can be viewed here.

The concerts should ease the strain of choosing sides during the festival’s more painful pairings (Spoon vs. Queens of the Stone Age), though a few conflicts (MIA vs. LCD Soundsystem, Muse vs. Arctic Monkeys) are left unresolved. For those who survive the weekend, Yo La Tengo will beat your ass at the Parish on Monday night, while Common, who is not scheduled to perform at ACL, graces La Zona Rosa on Sunday. Perhaps even more exciting is the empty slot still looming Saturday night at Stubb’s. All available tickets go on sale Saturday, July 28 at 10am through Front Gate Tickets.
