Odd...I woke up this morning on this strange Kings of Leon kick. Got right out of bed and put them on. Aha Shake Heartbreak is still prolly one of my top 5 albums of the year. It's amazingly resilient after 6 months.
Ended up seeing Nightmare of You last night. They were pretty good. No Brand New, but that's a tall order to fill. I had been downstairs there before, but this is the first time I actually saw a band at the Delancey. That place feels like Disneyland tried to recreate the basement of Lit. It has the suggestion of being all grungy and dank, but if you actually look around, it's a little too well put together. My buddy Jackson wrote up a glowing review of the band (and the merch chick) which I'll prolly throw up on Monday when I get a chance to upload some pictures. Very photogenic boys, they are...
Jackson is now a blog contributor? wonders never cease.
