It’s the Viewfinder Hat Trick! Happy Friday!!
There are several things to like about the new Kings of Leon video, “Pyro”. For one, it’s a new Kings of Leon video and they are awesome. Second, the song’s called “Pyro”, but I don’t think they mention the title or anything remotely fire-related once in the entire song. Third, the video is full of things that I find alternately cool and creepy. The bar fight is cool. The dude with the kid in eyeglasses is creepy. The slow-motion effect is cool. The people floating in the air? Kinda creepy (fat chick floating in the air? Miracle of science.) Guitar lick nicked from “Everybody Wants to Rule the World? Cool. Dude drinking despite having breathing tubes in his nose? I haven’t decided whether that’s cool or creepy yet.
Yet another worthy selection from KoL’s very solid new album, [amazon-product text=”Come Around Sundown” tracking_id=”popblerdcom-20″ type=”text”]B003YK42LQ[/amazon-product]

blerd – You may want to try actually listening to the song. It starts out with:
A single book of matches
Gonna burn what’s standing in the way
Running down the mountain
Now they’re calling on the fire brigade
– How you don’t interpret that as fire related I don’t know!!!
