the jury is forever out

chalk up another reason why i will never understand this band or the pull that they have...

FYI for the music lovers- Kings of Leon will be performing at Philips Arena in Oct. Tickets go on sale June 6.


i've seen KOL roughly twice in my day, Coachella 2007 (while waiting for Arcade Fire, mind you) and last year's All Points West festival. i've heard a few songs by them, enough that i feel i have a general grasp of their representative sound and aesthetic. yet, i just. don't. get. it. i'm sure that people can say the same thing about a band that i like. but the whole thing with KOL having some sort of popularity at all baffles my mind. do i really need to go into this any more than i should? (the answer to that is probably "yes!" from those who will somehow buy tickets and inevitably sell out that show and probably necessitate a week-long residency @ Philips, but whatevs.)
