Smoke & Jackal
The kids apparently really like that Kings of Leon band, so I guess it’s kinda sorta news that one of them told me they’ve officially started working on songs for their next album.
Mostly, though, I talked to the King in question Jared Followill about his other band, the drinking-based side-project Smoke & Jackal.

Tegan And Sara
Because music journalism is serious business, I recently spoke to Sara Quin of Tegan And Sara about the U.S. election, gay rights and women’s right.
That wasn’t the only super-serious topic we discussed, however. There was one other vitally important issue we addressed in our conversation — sweatpants.
More specifically, the new Tegan And Sara line of official sweatpants. And whether or not you should wear them in an airport.

Elliott Smith
My “This Week In Music History” feature went out again this week over at the Spinner.
On the bummer side, this was the anniversary of the week Elliott Smith either committed suicide by stabbing himself in the chest. Or he was murdered? Conspiracy. It’s also the week that man of the people Kid Rock got into a fight at a Waffle House. Noble.

The Killers
So, The Killers.
Sarah spoke to them recently about their working class side and how tough it is trying to stay humble when you’re a jetset rock superstar. Apparently the answer is to hang out with your regular dude friends and family and go “Yep, my job’s better. I’ll stop complaining now.”

CBGB
My “This Week In Music History” feature went out again this week over at the Spinner.
For this one we mourn Lynyrd Skynyrd deaths, mourn punk institution CBGB with a suitably crappy photo, and explore that moment Noel Gallagher went too far in the Blur vs. Oasis feud.
