Spoon managed to bore us at Austin City Limits. (Merritt Martin)

Best moments of ACL Day One, in order of awesomeness:

5. Goddamn, the hot dogs are good. All burnt on the outside and juicy on the inside.
4. Beer ain’t too expensive. Four bucks for a small.
3. The moment the Spoon (pictured) set ended–it was kinda boring.
2. Blonde Redhead.

Worst moments of ACL Day One, summed up in one to two phrases:

1. Uh, all the fucking fires!
