I was all ready to do another post on the whole Kings of Leon Pigeongate thing, but after re-reading it, I decided not to because it’d be beating a dead horse. I’m hoping that KOL has taken a look at themselves and realized that there...

I wish I wrote a song that other people wanted to cover. To me, there’s no other honor greater than having other artists cover your song. I could win a Grammy, of course… and that’d be nice, but let’s say that U2 decides to cover...

Back in January I posted the below Kings of Leon show from December of 2008. Then a couple months ago, I made the switch to a new file host for my music files, and in the process, the links for this show became dead links.
