Favorites and a few surprises: Yep, it's ACL

We know Dylan's new, but some of the 2007 lineup has been here, there and everywhere

Well, here we are : The lineup for the Austin City Limits Music Festival is out.

We reunited with some old faves (Wilco and Spoon, we're looking at you), and we're looking at lots of new nameshere.

Some folks are playing all sorts of festivals this year (what's up, Arcade Fire — see you at Bonnaroo!), and there are a few people who have us remembering that, yes, they are still recording artists (Pete Yorn, where you been?).

Here, we organize some of the players:

Five frequent fliers (played four or more ACL Fests)

• Wilco
• Ben Kweller
• Spoon
• Asleep at the Wheel (they've played all six)
• Patterson Hood (three with Drive-By Truckers, this year solo)

Five festival floozies (playing four or more U.S. festivals this year)

• Spoon
• Amy Winehouse
• Arcade Fire
• Queens of the Stone Age
• Regina Spektor

10 live must-sees

• Bob Dylan — unlikely to pass through Zilker again (aka the Rolling Stones rule).
• Queens of the Stone Age — as heavy as ACL has ever gotten.
• Björk — perhaps she will bring guests from her home planet.
• LCD Soundsystem — the second coming of New Order.
• Steve Earle — How many impeachments will he call for?
• The Jones Family Singers — awe-inspiring gospel power.
• The Arcade Fire — the sound of triumph.
• Ghostland Observatory — electronic sleeper smash of '06.
• Rodrigo y Gabriela — Irish-tinged Mexican acoustic post-metal? Yes.
• The White Stripes — duh.

Five Austin veterans

• Robert Earl Keen
• Jon Dee Graham
• Sound Team
• Blue October
• Guy Forsyth

Five formerly indie indie-rock acts

• The White Stripes
• Queens of the Stone Age
• The Decemberists
• Lucinda Williams (yes, she counts)
• Regina Spektor (her, too)

Five actually indie indie-rock acts

• Arctic Monkeys
• Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
• Bloc Party
• Blonde Redhead
• Yo La Tengo

Five 'Huh, they're playing?'

• Crowded House. Yeah, it's a reunion. Still, we scratch our heads.
• Kaiser Chiefs. They had an album this year? Really?
• M.I.A. The sequel to "Galang" will be out this year, she swears.
• Rev. Horton Heat. Rockabilly is the ska of Texas.
• Pete Yorn. Does he still have the hair? Dude had amazing hair.

This year's model: Amy Winehouse

Most likely to have panties thrown at them (or copies of 'Born to Run' with requests for autographs): The Killers

Most likely to have feminine hygiene products thrown at him (or copies of the Radish album with requests for autographs): Ben Kweller, whose nosebleed cut his set short in 2006

Most likely to inspire singing along from every single woman who ever went to sleep-away camp: Indigo Girls

'We'd love to play "Tales From Topographic Oceans" for you, but it's past the kids' bedtime': The Paul Green School of Rock All-Stars
