I hope everyone in the Northeast is safe and sound - after they had just experienced a record-breaking snowstorm last night. It's reported that in some areas that more than three feet of snow are on the ground ("with more to come")! You've all read the headlines: don't bother flying or visiting the Northeast area today or in the next few days.

SNOWDEN

I've seen Snowden twice. The first time, there was this huge blizzard in Minneapolis and then the second time for free because the headliner pulled out at the last minute. Snowden decided to continue on with the show.
The band is heading back to Minneapolis as part of their mid-to-late February tour and may preview some songs from their upcoming album, No One In Control, which will be released by Kings of Leon's record label, Serpents and Snakes.
You can preview their first single, "The Beat Comes", at Stereogum.
