My addon.py says:

import urllib2
import xbmcgui
import xbmcaddon

url = 'http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/642415'
req = urllib2.Request(url)
response = urllib2.urlopen(url)

Fails every time. The request works, but the urlopen causes an error. Why?

After reading the log I found this:

I am getting an error 403. So I read some tutorials that say to change the user agent.

import urllib2,cookielib
import xbmcgui
import xbmcaddon

url = 'http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/642415'

hdr = {'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.11 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/23.0.1271.64 Safari/537.11',
'Accept': 'text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8',
'Accept-Charset': 'ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.3',
'Accept-Encoding': 'none',
'Accept-Language': 'en-US,en;q=0.8',
'Connection': 'keep-alive'}

req = urllib2.Request(url, headers=hdr)

try:
page = urllib2.urlopen(req)
except urllib2.HTTPError, e:
print e.fp.read()

content = page.read()
xbmcgui.Dialog().ok('test', content)

That got it working. Sorry I didn't realize there was a log file.
