Muddy Eddie!

So I was in Austin, TX for Austin City Limits this past weekend. Fucking great. It was like the culmination of my Dave Matthews/Pearl Jam fanhood. Among the other highlights, Girl Talk was fun as hell, Bon Iver and Grizzly Bear were great, and Mutemath was surprisingly good. It rained hardcore on Saturday, so the place was muddy as hell. Fun to walk around barefoot and stare at the ground while being out of my gourd, not so fun when you read news reports about how the "Dillo Dirt" is a combination of lawn clippings and treated human sewage. But regardless, Eddie Vedder has a new legion of fans in Texas because he rocked out the only way he knows how to -- like a fucking balls-to-the-wall rockgod. Orgasm alert: setlist available here. They closed their second encore with Keep on Rockin' and EV hopped off the stage, over the barriers, and started running around like a little kid (with security guards nervously jogging behind him) until he made the decision any rational human being would make as the center of attention for close to 100,000 crazed and panty-soaked fans -- start mudsliding.

It's evolution, baby!
