Hey folks, I’ll be taking tomorrow off from posting because I intend to stuff myself silly with Christmas-related goodies (many of which will very likely contain alcohol), and I haven’t had the opportunity to build up my usual backlog of posts that I can fall back on when I’m lazy/stuffed/drunk.

Quick Kings of Leon story. As y’all know, I try to avoid hype-y, “it” bands (no, seriously), so I stayed off the Kings of Leon train while the rock mags were going gaga over the band. It wasn’t until hearing their third album, “Because of the Times”, that I officially converted. I was walking through a Virgin Megastore (R.I.P.) while “On Call” was playing and I fell in love immediately. Of course, one album later, the Followill clan stopped being […]
