With full sun and temperatures in the ’90s, this past weekend made for a great second round of the Austin City Limits Music Festival. Upon arrival at Zilker Park, we were greeted each day with the familiar, colorful flags and signage as we walked in. As the afternoon progressed, flocks of attendees morphed into one giant crowd. Between abundant hydration breaks, here are the live music sets we visited.

As it was clear from the sheer numbers of people making the pilgrimage to the American Express Stage, Mt. Joy was calling, and Austin City Limits must go.
The crackle and pop heard from a turntable is what makes it so special. There are more convenient and reliable ways to play music, but vinyl delivers music with the charm of a live show and the emotion of slow-dancing in the kitchen.
