Festival picks from within the city limits

Because there's no better guide through the treacherous dust bowlmud pit fire hazard that is ACL than locals who've seen it all, we've enlisted Fresh Millions to compile a list of sure-shots by acts guaranteed to light the stage...oy...aflame.

Cee-Lo feat. Melanie Fiona - "Fool for You"
A crooning duet between the Lady Killing F-bomber and the up-and-coming RnB diva, with hard-hitting drums contrasted by a pulsing orchestra, proving Green doesn't need cursing to pull your strings.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. - "Morning Thought"
A dense collage of distorted guitars, soaring vocal harmonies, and xylophone counter-melodies make this artist worthy to follow in the tire treads of #3. Seriously, nothing says "Intimidator" like xylophone counter-melodies.
Death from Above 1979 - "Black History Month (Alan Braxe remix)"
Reunited earlier this year, the dance-punks here get the remix treatment by a Daft Punk collaborator, turning the aggressive wash of guitars into controlled feet-moving blasts and adding an epic synth build-up, making the tune much more X-cessible.
Fool's Gold - "Surprise Hotel"
This rapid-paced, "Graceland"-esque jam features a wailing sax solo, blazing African-influenced guitars, and volleys of Hebrew lyrics -- so, the "surprise" is that the continental breakfast is stocked with latkes.
Aloe Blacc & The Grand Scheme - "The Dark End of the Street"
The ever-velvety voice of Orange County's Blacc does justice to the '60s soul classic about where writer James Carr always found himself parked.
The Antlers - "Two"
Starting as an acoustic ballad and building into a swirl of dissonance, this rambling story of family dramatics perhaps would've been better served by the band The Auntlers.
Chromeo - "When the Night Falls (Breakbot Remix)"
Two concurrent masters of replicated '80s electro-funk come together in this remix that also features Beyonce's sister, the only Knowles who's still a single lady.
Stevie Wonder - "Signed, Sealed, Delivered"
As an homage to the headliner, FM recs "the world's most perfect song", Stevie's first self-produced single, impressively written at age 20 -- the heyday of his "Don't Call Me Little" phase.
