This weekend’s Austin City Limits festival gets the AT&T Blueroom Webcast treatment starting on Friday at 12:45PM EDT. Click here for the full schedule that includes Vampire Weekend, Drive-By Truckers, Blues Traveler and The Raconteurs. It’s rare that AT&T gets most of the big names at a festie to sign on, but they’ve done a stellar job this time around.

While we’re waiting for Friday, here’s some links to enjoy…

• Music Snobbery gets a first look at Montclair’s Wellmont Theater
• American Babies’ Tom Hamilton bids farewell to Richard Wright
• The New York Times examines the My Bloody Valentine reunion
• Pitchfork talks to David Byrne about his new album and more
• Politico feels Drive-By Truckers’ The Righteous Path makes a great soundtrack for the level of economic anxiety we’re experiencing
• Matador plans to reissue Pavement’s brilliant Brighten The Corners

Finally, four major labels have made a deal with SanDisk to start manufacturing microSD memory cards featuring an album at 320kbps and with no DRM. Will this new format catch on? We’d be surprised.
