There are a bunch more clips on the Austin City Limits website, but sadly lots of them are of the thirty-seconds-or-less variety.
If you're not reguarly watching Austin City Limits on PBS's Saturday nights, you have only two excuses: you're out of the country or you've got a social life.
Other than that, your butt should be down on the couch.

for anyone (else) who hates the processor-leech that is real player, i highly suggest Real Alternative
Basically, it just gets the .rm codecs and puts it into whatever your normal player is (in my case windows media player, i haven't tried it on itunes yet... sorry)
Im perfectly fine with never opening real player again
here here!
hate real
Real Player is horrible, admittedly. Good to know there's an alternative out there. Thanks for pointing it out, RuffRyder.
