Photo via MySpaceJust once, it'd be nice to have a V Fest go off without a hitch. Or at least have people talking more about who's on the lineup than who's not.

The Kooks released their latest album, "Konk," on April 11th. It sounds pretty much the same as their previous one, but with a bit more "pop" to it. I don't know what it is, but there is something about British pop that tickles my fancy. Here is the video for their single, "Always Where I Need To Be."

Rhodes and Morrison christened their boat, "Jackie Big Tits," because they were inspired by the song and usually name their boats after musical inspirations. However, Olympic official...

Just saw the viddie of "The Kooks":http://www.drownedinsound.com/release/view/7023 and along with loving this snappy tune, am wondering if they are looking like "The Faces":http://www.the-faces.com/image/odds/FacesEarly.jpg on purpose.

I bring up this question, because my friend noticed that there were a few songs in her music collection that had 'JACKIE' in the title. I found two on my iPod, so I figured I would Google to see if there were more song titles with this name...and there were more than I thought there would be.Now I have a new goal: to make a list of songs that mention 'Jackie' (with any spelling variations and I...
