Fom Cincinnati paper, The City Beat....

The best music show on TV, PBS's Austin City Limits, has announced the lineup of artists for its 35th anniversary season (yup, ACL can now officially run for President) starting Oct. 3. The roster is another great mix of established artists and relative newcomers, with the Dave Matthews Band, Pearl Jam, Beastie Boys, Sonic Youth, Elvis Costello, Ben Harper, M. Ward, Andrew Bird, St. Vincent, Band of Heathens and Okkervil River slated for episodes. The season will also feature the first appearance by Cincinnati's Heartless Bastards.

It will be the band's first major TV appearance since they did
Letterman in February and corrected Dave when he asked if they were from Austin. The Bastards have a full summer that includes many of the major festivals and tour dates with Rilo Kiley's Jenny Lewis and The Decemberists.

There will also be a special Willie Nelson/Asleep at the Wheel episode of ACL (Willie was on the initial ACL pilot in 1974 and Asleep at the Wheel was on the first episode of the first season in 1976). It's nearly impossible to find good music television these days; thank the Baby Jebus for Austin City Limits' endurance.

;D  Sorry, I guess.  I haven't put in the effort but he just doesn't do much for me.  I realize I'm in the minority on that one.   What is a must have Elvis album true?

My Aim Is True is THE one to have and after that This Year's Model is essential as well.

I just thought that maybe BH was going out on a limb a little...perhaps making a BOLD statement.
