Song of the Day: [04/13]Bat for Lashes decided to do a cover of Kings of Leon‘s song “Use Somebody”. Im a big fan of covers done well. Its a chance to resurrect a song you may have retired, and enjoy it all over again; this time in a whole new way. Bat for lashes brings her signature ethereal and eerie, yet always lovely sound to KOL’s song here. An interesting and somewhat unexpected tribute from a girl with typically off-beat influences.

Song of the Day: [2/1]I just saw Kings of Leon play at Madison Square Garden this past weekend. As always, they were great live. But every time I see them play, I observe this fact: the song “Knocked Up” is absolutely epic live. Its an epic song all around. I mean every time he sings the line “people call us renegades, we like livin crazy”, with that sharp guitar noise accompanying it, I get the chills! So no surprise…
