Buzz In: Who Should Get Their Own Behind the Music?
There once was a time, long before Real Housewives reruns on Bravo, where you could count on VH1's Behind the Music series to be on the air at just the moment you're too lazy to do laundry or pay bills. Those were the good old days (between 1997 and 2006, to be specific) when you could learn all kinds of things about people like Leif Garrett, Billy Idol, and Red Hot Chili Peppers from the cable channel's rock documentary series.
Well now, the network is bringing the series back, and its first subject will be — yes!

New Music Videos: Oasis and Kings of Leon
Interested in some moody, soul-searching tunes and visuals to match? Well, I have just the thing for you today by way of two moody, soul-searching bands.
First up, a new video from Kings of Leon for the song "Use Somebody" off the Kings' new album, Only By the Night.
What to Download: New Music on iTunes
Tuesdays are big in entertainmentville: Not only do all the new DVD releases hit Netflix, but new music also pours into stores, including iTunes. So I take a spin through each week's iTunes music releases and pick out some albums and tracks worthy of a download. In addition to the songs and albums below you can now download a second volume of the Sex and the City soundtrack.
How Do You Feel About Bootleg Concert Videos Online?
Recently, NME reported that the members of Kings of Leon are dismayed when people take bootleg videos at their concerts because then their new stuff then ends up online before the album's release. Guitarist Matthew Followill said:
It's difficult when you make a new record and you wanna play all the new songs live. But with technology these days, there'll be someone out there with a recorder and it kinda spoils it for us.
This Just In: NME Thinks America Is Cool Again
Bad news, Buzz readers (and America): Apparently, we have all been suffering from a crisis of uncoolness for some time now. And the worst part is we didn't even know it (or, at least, I didn't)! This is all according to the British music magazine NME — but there's good news, too, since NME has now managed to find 25 American bands that are making us cool again!
Song of the Day: Kings of Leon, "On Call"
Kings of Leon hail from Tennessee, but the band probably wouldn't get very far on "Nashville Star." The family foursome (including three brothers and a cousin) makes guitar- and bass-heavy Southern rock that just sounds unwholesome. And that's precisely why I like it.
