The Big Fishes

Looking at this year's ACL lineup, the big fishes are not that exciting to me. I think Eminem's new stuff is pretty bad, it lost the good inspirational undertone that was present in his earlier stuff. Pearl Jam isn't my style of music. Listening to Beck yesterday, I didn't find it particularly stimulating either. I'm willing to give Outkast a shot. Listening to Calvin Harris and Lana del Rey was disappointing. To me, both of their styles are boring pop. Izzy Agalea has good dance music but her lyrics are absolutely sub-par. The Replacements are before my time and will be super crowded so I'm tempted not to go. I can see myself having fun at Skrillex because they'll probably have a good light show and fun music to dance to, yes it's that simple. Foster the People needs to leave Austin... I'm willing to give The Avett Brothers, Zedd and Major Lazer a chance, they each have a unique and very different sound. That was my assessment of "The Big Fishes". I personally think they could have gotten better headliners. ACL went for some fairly boring pop artists this year with Lana del Rey etc...
