🚨 SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨
I have a new book coming out on Sept. 8. It's about The Strokes and the evolution (or de-evolution) of rock bands in the 21st century. And you can pre-order it now! If you would like to know more I wrote about it here. tinyurl.com/msvtk5rm

I wrote about a big column about the rocky and fascinating career of Kings Of Leon, a dumb band I love dearly, including a review of all their albums ahead of a comeback "country rebrand" record due in November.

For my Ask A Music Critic, I wrote about Rolling Stone's insane but fun "greatest rock songs of the 21st century" list, and offered up my own "definitive rock anthems of the modern era" choices.

Someone in the comments brought up this song. Total lost early 2010s classic.

Another under-heralded 21st century rock banger.

[puts on rockist hat] Putting that 10-minute version of Taylor Swift's "All Too Well" three spots higher than "No One Knows" by Queens Of The Stone Age (which is 26 spots outside the top 10) is unserious.

It's good music, folks.
A really strong, focused performance with some creative new arrangements yesterday in Germany. I’m enjoying this as much as any tape since ‘21. Long live Bob! youtube.com/watch?v=84rKj1Jf…
