This year’s Austin City Limits festival will feature headlining performances from Muse, M.I.A., the Eagles, LCD Soundsystem, Phish, and Vampire Weekend. A nice, eclectic mix of old and new performers if you ask us.

Well, hello again, or for the first time. Here’s yr Millah Mix for this week –it’s pretty sweet, if I do say so myself. I mean, there’s something for everyone: brand new Arcade Fire (“Rococo”), Ra Ra Riot (first The Orchard single “Boy”), some Swede named Robyn (“Hang with Me”, duh), the much buzzed about duo Tennis (personal nostalgia ridden “Baltimore”) and another instant, albeit relaxed, classic from The Hood Internet.
