Jared Followill is quite the tastemaker when it comes to new music. Anyone who follows his familal band Kings of Leon knows he's often credited with bringing new music to the rest of the band that influences and inspires them. A public facebook campaign was waged to get him on twitter and after reading this Rolling Stone article of his top songs of 2010 I personally sent him a message saying he should join Twitter or Tumblr if ony to tell us what music he's listening to (after downloading Yeasayer Odd Blood and Tennis' Marathon). And lo and behold he did! So I'll be keeping an archive of his selections for myself and anyone interested. Here's the back log
