I tend to not want to agree with Jesse Lacey, but it's a known fact throughout the world (Well, the world that knows me...) that I am an acousticwhore. It's a medical condition...I've been prescribed medication, but I chuck it down the toilet when no one's looking. I just listen to these alternate versions of songs and find myself transfixed at how the meaning, the mood, the everything of a song. One of my favorite examples of this is the Cold War Kids' song "We Used t... MORE
The indie-rockers from California are back and they're ready to knock your socks off. The tour announcement comes in conjunction with the release of their new album, Loyalty to Loyalty, the long-awaited follow-up to 2006's debut Robbers and Cowards. The new album is set to hit shelves September 22. Never heard them? Be sure to check them out as they are not an act to be missed. More tour dates to be announced. I was a fan of their first album so I was stoked to catch th... MORE
If I were a family man this song could be my life. Not because I am such an alcoholic, but rather because I derive so much pleasure from abject failure when juxtaposed with the hard work and sacrifice required to not let others down. I guess it's just a matter of taking control over your own life, choosing your failures rather than risking a stab at success only to be stabbed back.
The Cold War Kids, who rocked with their first album, Robbers and Cowards, will be back this year with a followup, called Loyalty to Loyalty, due out on September 23rd of this year. Tomorrow, on their myspace page, the crew will release their first single, Something Is Not Right With Me.

Today, something terrible happened. I was driving to work, listening to one of my current favorite songs via the lovely CD player in my car... when the LCD screen read error after I changed lanes and the track skipped... then after recovering, there was that staticy noise that accompanies the death of the alternator.... but then, even more tragic, the CD player died. And it ate my Cold War Kids CD. Travesty. So, for the last 10 minutes of my commute to work and my entire 3... MORE
Today's song of the day is "We Used to Vacation" by Cold War Kids. I heard it on the way to work today and I have the feeling these guys will be pretty mainstream popular sometime soon (if they're not already...I'm not up on Top 40 music anymore but I know at least the video to this song is on MTV2 and can be found on youtube, I'm sure, if searched for). They've got slick production, great lyrics, a competent band, and the singer has a nice voice But the fact that I enj... MORE
