Kings of Leon

Major League Baseball’s Access To The Show is proud to announce the success of "Batting for Charity" at Bonnaroo 2008.

Radiohead will headline the first two nights of the All Points West Festival, to be held August 8-10th at New Jersey’s Liberty State Park. Jack Johnson is scheduled to headline the fest’s closing night.

Bonnaroo? I go to southeastern Tennessee for the Barbecue. The festival is just what I do between stops at Prater’s.

I'll be honest - when I gave the new Kings of Leon a spin for the first time, I was expecting a crash and burn. I was expecting it to finally be the one I didn't like, the inevitable letdown, the one we wouldn't bother stocking at HGMN. I don't know why, exactly. Maybe I underestimated the band, or maybe I overestimated the rip current of the music world at large. I just figured that they had their nice little run and that they would fade away like most of the rest. Little did I know that not only would I love Because Of The Times, but that I would have to completely re-evaluate my outlook on this band.
