This 1 song off KOL's new Album 'Come Around Sundown' turned the DH into a FAN!
My wonderful husband for part of my anniversary present took me to see Kings of Leon Monday night 9/20/10 at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater just outside of Birmingham, AL - he has never understood my obsession with KOL, simply saying he really did not care for their music - now this is a man that LOVES music of many different genres!!!
My daughter turned me on to KOL, long before that infamous night in Vancouver last year, and I had been loving them for almost a year prior to that concert! My daughter and I saw KOL at the BJCC in Birmingham last October - and I can easily say, that was one of the very best concerts I had ever seen (and I have seen a lot of concerts!!!) Well let me tell you Monday night blew that concert from last October out of the water!!!!
My husband really was not looking forward to this concert - grumbling each time I brought up the date, talked about the concert etc. I just kept saying to him "just wait until you see them, you will enjoy the show"
So Monday rolls around, we leave work early in the afternoon, head out to Pelham for the show, with the DH still complaining......Well the Whigs take the stage, then The Black Keys (he was impressed with their muscianship) and then KOL takes the stage! Surprisingly I look over and right off the bat he is taking pictures on his cell phone - I HAVE HOPE now!!! And then the 4th song of the night begins and all of a sudden he is standing up!!! WHAT???? Could he be interested????? Well to be totally honest, I really don't know, because at that point, I was too into the concert!!! Let's just say, I'm hoping he's enjoying the show, because I was loving it! I thought last October's concert was good ---well this concert was AWESOME! KOL was rocking the house!!!!
FAST FORWARD -- I get home from the office last night and the DH has a late night on Tuesday evenings so he's still at his work - so finally he gets home and I'm uploading pics from the concert to my blog. He immediately starts asking me what the name of this one song was. OMG -- I don't know!!! WHAT???? I don't know which song he's talking about????? I spend the next couple of hours trying to research which song it could be - well to no avail, I just don't know! (I know bad FANGIRL).
Well this morning I'm at the office and I get the following text from the hubs!:
"the song is called MARY. love that song. the rest is just ok to good. this song mary is the best thing I've heard since BEAST OF BURDEN. If they did more like that...I would get a Mary tattoo and wear their t-shirts. Can't believe you didn't know it had to be this song...MARY" (SIDE NOTE THE HUBS CURRENTLY HAS NO TATTOO)
OMG - the DH is loving KOL!!! My son calls me this afternoon and tells me I've created a monster that ever since he got home this afternoon his daddy has been blaring KOL songs!!! TOTAL WIN!!!!
So please enjoy that song that has made my husband a TRUE KOL FAN!!!!

’The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn’ filming location date details revealed - National Twilight | Examiner.com
More recent news indicates they may be back building Bella's house sooner. Last week (September 8th) I offered a backwards Movie Location Tour and started the Tour off in Surrey. My guests wanted to visit the location of Bella's House even though there was nothing at that location.
Upon our arrival I spotted two very familiar production people at the site speaking with a third woman. I recognized Abraham Fraser, the locations manager with New Moon and Eclipse and his assistant who was ever present at Kerry Park during the construction of Bella's House and the subsequent dismantling of the house.
I knew they had booked Kerry Park well into 2011 and it was just our good luck to see these production people ironing out the finer details of the contracts to build Bella's house once more.
It takes about three weeks to construct Bella's House and two weeks to tear it down.
I was interested in the timeline of construction. The group confirmed to me they would be back in January. North Shore Studios said they were setting up offices but nothing is listed at the B.C. Film Commission or the Directors Guild of Canada. They are flying under the radar.
My sources have confirmed the only role they were casting a few weeks ago was that of Renessme at an older age.
A new nugget of information came to light yesterday when I was told the Cullen House had been shipped to the sound stage in Baton Rouge and is currently under constructed. You may recall the Cullen mansion was a perfect replica to the famed "Nike House" near Portland Oregon. It was build at Canada Motion Picture Park in Burnaby for all the interior Cullen house scenes. It would have been nice to have the house constructed at the same location but unfortunatley for us in Vancouver, that did not happen.
Other sources have confirmed they will not be using Jacob Black's house until the new year.

Kings of Leon - NEW SONG & VIDEO! Radioactive
Kings of Leon, the band that got 'Use Somebody' stuck in your head, is back with a new album, 'Come Around Sundown', and have finally released a brand new single and video. 'Radioactive', the first single off the new album due out October 19th, is remininescent of their 2008 breakout album 'Only By The Night' with its southern rock roots flavored with a dash of gospel led by Caleb Followill's strong voice.
Even the video evokes a classic southern feel with its sepia tone, performance in a dusty old barn, and a hometown outdoor picnic that's capped off with a sprinkler fight and fishing trip. You can almost smell the lemonade. The guys look comfortable and like they're enjoying themselves alongside the children's choir who add a powerful presence to the song. Is this a new direction for Kings of Leon or are they easing back to a familiar sound? Does the song get you excited to hear the rest of the album? Kings of Leon are currently out on tour with The Black Keys, another band definitely worth a listen if you enjoy KOL's sound. Enjoy the video below and make sure to keep an ear out for 'Come Around Sundown'. The next song to get stuck in your head just may be on it.

How Close Will Bella & Rosalie get in the film adaptation of Breaking Dawn?
Nikki Reed Says Rosalie And Bella Are 'Going To Get Really Close' In 'Breaking Dawn'
We've been talking a lot over the past week about Rosalie's developing relationship with Bella in "Breaking Dawn" because Nikki Reed was more than willing to chat about the upcoming installments of "The Twilight Saga" while promoting her upcoming indie "Last Day of Summer."
Fans who have read the book understand that Rosalie's infatuation with Bella's baby stems mostly out of her own inability as a vampire to have a child. This is something that is discussed at length in the novel, and something Nikki hopes will also make its way into the film.
She said she was happy with the way Rosalie's backstory played out in "Eclipse" and hopes that she gets a chance to do something similar in the next two films.
"With 'Breaking Dawn,' we're only going to go deeper into that," Nikki said. "I haven't read the script — I don't know what it's going to be like — but I think Melissa [Rosenberg]'s done a great job in keeping them pretty close to the books. I can't think of anything we've missed in the films. I have faith that Bella and I are going to get really close."
Hopefully that relationship will be explained in the film so audiences can understand why the typically cold Rosalie all of the sudden has Bella's back in her pregnancy controversy. If not, non-readers might be a bit baffled.
"I find that people who've read the books kind of understand Rosalie, and that's been the biggest challenge with playing her — when you make this series, clearly it has to revolve around this epic love story. The rest of us are kind of fighting in the background to have any kind of moment," she said. "You're always afraid that the moment you do have, you'll overdo because you wanted to have something behind it, even if it's just a look or a sentence or a glance."
Since "Breaking Dawn" has been split into two films, we're hoping the filmmakers find the time to incorporate the Rosalie subplot into the story. We'll save those looks and sentences and glances for Rosalie and Jacob's hilarious animosity that springs up during the Jacob portion of the films.
Do you think it's important that Rosalie's motives are explained in the film? Do you think the filmmakers have done a good job with her character thus far? Leave Your Thoughts And Comments Below!
