I posted this as a comment in News but in case anyone missed it here it is again. I noticed peeps were having trouble accessing the playlist through Itunes so I decided to list all the songs cos that's the nice sort of bloke I am 
The text that accompanies the playlist:
This is a collection of the many songs that have influenced us over the past 2 years while writing and recording our new record. Each of these songs have been in heavy rotation on our tour bus and backstage as we prep for our shows. Some of these songs are played at the afterparty to get us in the mood. Some are for just chilling on long bus rides. Some were specifically cited for sounds on the new record. If you could put each and every one of these songs into a melting pot, stir them with 4 high school drop-outs from Tennessee and Oklahoma, you would have Kings of Leon at this present moment. We hope you enjoy them and have a better understanding of our sound and our intentions as musicians.
The Playlist:
1.Grass - Animal Collective
2. All We Ever Wanted Was Everything - Bauhaus
3. A New England - Billy Bragg
4. Evergreen - The Brian B Jonestown Massacre
5. Lover's Split - Broken Social Scene
6. Temporarily Blind - Built To Spill
7. Everybody's Happy Nowadays - The Buzzcocks
8. The Guns of Brixton - The Clash
9. The Return of Evil Bill - Clinic
10. Lorelei - The Cocteau Twins
11. Six Different Ways - The Cure
12. Glass, Concrete and STone - David Byrne
13. Save it for Later - The English Beat
14. Your Hand In MIne - Explosions In the Sky
15. Desire (Come and Get It) - Gene Loves Jezebel
16. Cattle and Cane - The Go-Betweens
17. Cherry Red - Groundhogs
18. I Wanna Be Your Dog (Remastered) - The Stooges
19. Atmosphere - Joy Division
20. Don't Save Us From the Flames - M83
21. Papa Was a Rodeo - The Magnetic Fields
22. Halloween - The Misfits
23. Ceremony - New Order
24. These Days - Nico
25. West End Girls - The Pet Shop Boys
26. Hey - Pixies

29. Love My Way - The Psychedelic Furs

36. With or Without You - U2
37. Reservations - Wilco
38. Lacrimosa - Orchestra Sinfonica dell'Universita Cattolica
39. Making Plans for Nigel - XTC
The reason most peeps were having trouble was because they were outside of the US and the playlist is in the US section of Itunes. If you still want to access the tracks to buy them in Itunes then this is how you do it:
Open up your Itunes and scroll right down at the bottom where you will see the nationality thingy. Its a tiny little box, change it to US then click on this link >here<, now it should load in to your Itunes.
Have fun y'all
