here is my fantasy email from Bill:

Dear Fatcatjb,
Yes, I have decided that the Kings of Leon are hopelessly inane and everything they produce sounds the same. I am pulling everything they blather on about off of RP forEVER

Musically yours,

Bill

At a recent KOL concert I saw Robin Trower hiding behind the speakers playing lead.......{#Curtain}

I love most of this album. This song pervades my mind and soul...great to hear and space out to while driving. I love how cryptic and evocative the lyrics are. And the vocals are so intense, saturated with desire. It's really too bad about recent events with Caleb Followill...wonder if they'll make it through intact.

Funny, I was just thinking I am getting a little sick of this song...perhaps heard it one to many times.

Same here.  I saw them in concert in Austin last wk and then saw the live feed on youtube of their performance at Coachella.  I was never a big fan b/c radio overplayed "Use Somebody" and "Sex on Fire," but since I've been hearing them on RP and now seen them live, I've downloaded their recent album and a lot of their back catalog of songs, watched some of their videos and other performances, and also checked out their "Live at the O2" dvd.  Hoping to see their backstory movie "Tahilina Sky."

A solid, honest effort. Not my favorite cut from this album, but still very enjoyable.

Spot on.  The repetitive synth line and slightly off the beat drumming powers this along.  The doleful vocals remind me of John Martyn and the dark lyrics are a bonus.

Made me reach for the volume and crank up the A5s at home.

They are getting airplay here in DFW on Clear Channel (**spit**)
But the song is not as good and it sounds like they removed some of the tracks so it is very flat.
The lovely and Talented Jessie does recommend listeners get the CD to get the full effect of the band.

I've noticed moving my work time to evenings has made me appreciate the WBAP morning show, Mark Davis, and Rush far more now that I miss them and tend to listen to FM most of the time.
The evening Talk stuff from2:00 on is just not worth listening to.
Listening to FM has reinforced my love of RP though.
I really wish work would allow me to listen to RP ever 3G. I can get away with a few minutes on the phone, and I listen at lunch (no one around to worry about slowing our web with the stream)

This song as you leave the paved road behind and pull on to a lonely gravel service road.  This song as you realize you haven't seen anybody else in at least the last 10 miles..  This song as the car pulls up to the abandoned cabin.  This song as the roofies kick in.  This song as the duct tape is wrapped around your mouth and limbs.  This song.
