Kings Of Leon Radioactive

Hey guys! It’s great to be back after a long week off…and what better way to come back than an awesome new song & video from Kings Of Leon. The video for their new track “Radioactive” is my #1 Video this week.

Linkin Park Laser Listening Party For 'A Thousand Suns' at Henry Fonda Theatre

If you needed more incentive to listen to Kevin & Bean’s Breakfast with Linkin Park this coming Tuesday to celebrate the September 14th release of A Thousand Suns, I have the insider scoop.

I got to listen to the whole album at the Linkin Park listening/laser party last night, talk to Chester Bennington about making the record, and experience the staggering work of musical brilliance that is A Thousand Suns.

Hear all about the incredible night

Linkin Park A Thousand Suns

Although Linkin Park‘s new song “The Catalyst” sounds great and would have probably been the #1 song anyway, it sure helps when the band is out supporting their music the way LP is.

The band hosted a laser show/listening party of their new album, A Thousand Suns, last night and will be performing on Sunday for the MTV VMA’s. And, let’s not forget about Kevin & Bean’s Breakfast with Linkin Park next Tuesday (album release day) or the few songs they’ve leaked early to get people excited about the new album either…

Will the next American Idol judge please stand up? And make it snappy, the show is already doing the first round of auditions.

Currently, the official judges are original judge Randy Jackson and Aerosmith front-man Steven Tyler. Talks that Jennifer Lopez will also be joining the cast are still rumors. Let’s keep it that way J-Lo.

We propose a much better solution to American Idol’s final judge slot… funny man Jeffrey Ross. Why shouldn’t Jeffrey be the man for the job? He’s roasted almost every celebrity on the planet, he’s a nice guy, and he’s got one mean Jew-fro. And we’re sure he’ll be better than Ellen. Come on Ellen, not everyone is good.Should Jeff be a judge? Watch, laugh and vote

 

Our man Travis has been on the road traveling the world, doing his thing. And, “his thing” has included ridiculously awesome solos. It’s not like we’re not already impressed with his skills, but he always seems to push it to another level.

As seen in this footage from the 2010 Chiemsee Rocks Festival in Germany, Travis flips, twists and gets down like no other. Yes, we’ve seem him flip before but for some reason it just never gets old.

Watch Travis’ gravity-defying drum solo
