Kings of Leon Tour; Rusty Mails SiS v5

So, yes this week is SXSW and I'm not there (Exitfare is having some good coverage, btw._ Instead your loyal blogger stuffed many an envelope to send out the newest issue of Stranded In Stereo. I hope you all enjoy it! Next time I'll take pictures so you can see all the fun that is involved with putting stamps on envelopes and stuffing them with great music and videos that will make your ears and eyes happy for a moment in time.

In better news, Kings of Leon will be releasing their third album, Because Of The Times, on April 3. It's a bigger, badder sound in comparison to their previous efforts. People are calling this their make it or break it record in the states (they are well established and believe their European fanbase has kept them going.) I have yet to formulate my opinion on the album; ask me again in a few weeks.

In better news, though, the band has announced the first leg of the US tour. Do catch them when they come to your town this spring / summer.

The video for "On Call," an interesting choice for the first single but one of the better songs on Times, can be found here
