The 11 Best Song By The Cold War Kids

Posted on by

Everyone loves surprises.  This morning I woke up after a mother of a Bob Dylan concert last night and had planned on going for a jog before settling in for a day of football and the World Series.  Only to my surprise when checking my 1-6 fantasy football team line-up did I discover that there was an NFL game already happening in London.  Obviously, there’s only one choice in this situation…jogging will have to wait until tomorrow.

This week a new Cold War Kids EP was released…barely 18 months after their last release.  And this EP, clocks in at 11 songs…which might as well as be a full length.  Another nice surprise this week.

Here are the 11 Best Songs By The Cold War Kids:

  1. I’ve Seen Enough (Loyalty To Loyalty)
  2. We Used To Vacation (Robbers & Cowards)
  3. Something Is Not Right With Me (Loyalty To Loyalty)
  4. Miracle Mile (Dear Miss Lonleyhearts)
  5. Audience (Behave Yourself)
  6. Welcome To The Occupation (Loyalty To Loyalty)
  7. Hang Me Up To Dry (Robbers & Cowards)

The 11 Best Songs By The Cold War Kids

I had a  free credit to Best Buy that was expiring.  I needed to get something.  It was only $15.  Not enough for a big purchase…but I could definitely pick up a CD I didn’t have.  Which is rare to hear that there’s a CD out there that I don’t have.  I’ve been wanting the new expanded edition of Fleetwood Mac’s Rumors…so I felt that would be a good choice. I went to the store and begin browsing.  I felt like I had walked out into a war zone.  CDs were strewn all over the racks…none of them in any sort of discernible order.  Empty gaps…some CDs opened.  Any no trace of the new Fleetwood Mac set.  But they did have about 50 copies of the new Justin Timberlake and Lil Wayne CDs.  When I asked a sales person for help they told me they could order the CD online and have it shipped to my place.  I thought…I could have done that. At home.  What’s the point of me coming into the store if you’re just going to do something I’m could do myself?  What’s the point of even having a store?

Once upon a time, Best Buy was my go to Tuesday destination.  When a new album came out I would be at Best Buy the moment it opened because the new albums would actually sell out.  There was a demand.  Now it’s a graveyard.  A graveyard created by the box store itself.  They used to have one of the best music selections this side of Tower Records.  From obscure CDs, to exclusive editions, to the most popular releases, they gave it a shit.  Now, it’s obvious they couldn’t care less.
