This week on ACL: Bettye LaVette

The legendary soul singer performs classics and new songs from her most recent release.

K’NAAN’s “Wavin Flag” to be anthem of 2010 World Cup

World Cup

World Cup

If you haven’t gotten K’NAAN’s infectious “Wavin’ Flag” stuck in your head yet, you will soon. When the World Cup begins in June, the song will be played on TV and online broadcasts, commercials, and at all FIFA matches and events. K’NAAN recorded a new, remixed version of the song for the World Cup, which you can see here. Kudos to FIFA for making such a great song selection! K’NAAN is a super nice guy who deserves success on this level, and we couldn’t be happier for him!

K’NAAN’s Austin City Limits episode featuring “Wavin’ Flag” premieres this weekend. To see the episode version of the song, watch the clip on the ACL homepage or on the episode page.

    Hope y;all sell tickets when the new studio opens.

    The Spoon performance in our studio tonight is a KUT-sponsored event that is using our studio, not an ACL taping. Keep an eye on the blog for any taping news.
