• The Download-New Twilight Sad MP3s

  Kudos to the Twilight Sad for recreating one of my favorite album covers. The Scots' upcoming realease, entitled The Twilight Sad Killed My Parents and Hit the Road, will be issued next week on limited-edition CD and downloadable formats. Here's what the band had to say via MySpace: "The Twilight Sad will be selling copies of their new limited edition release, a collection of covers, instrumentals, previously unreleased material and live tracks recorded at the ABC, Glasgow. Cover songs will i

• The Top 10 Reissues of 2008

  It's time to rank the best of what went around and came around again. BILLY JOEL The Stranger (Columbia/Legacy) As punk and disco exploded, the Piano Man's deeply unhip 1978 breakthrough proved that top-shelf Broadway/Brill Building songwriting could still sell - and, occasionally, rock. "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant" and "Anthony's Song (Movin' Out)" remain priceless snapshots of Annie Hall-era NYC, the title track bares real teeth, and the Kenny Chesney fave "Only the Good Die Young" -

• Incoming: She Wants Revenge at the Bottleneck, October 3

  Your favorite Joy Division cover band that plays original music, She Wants Revenge, plays the Bottleneck on October 3. If they got Interpol to play this show, it'd be like you had New Order on the bill, too. ​All joking aside, catching them in an intimate environment like the Bottleneck is a pretty notable thing, considering the last time they came through, they played the Beaumont Club. Of course, prior to that, they'd played the Record Bar, and the other times they've played large venue

• Concert Review: Kings of Leon at Sprint Center

  It was a cold, misty night in Kansas City. A mass of people descended on the glowing orb of the Sprint Center to see a Rock Band with a capital "R" play spacious rock epics inside said arena.

Scott Spychalski​ Now a short background: Kings of Leon is made up of three evangelical preacher's sons and their cousin. They go by their mid
