5 Welcome To The Occupation

An R.E.M. cover?

Maybe this band doesn't suck after all.

No, they still do.

Whatever. "Robbers & Cowards" was praised by critics. It's a nice piece of work.

Says someone who likes Girls Aloud.

Looking forward to this album, their first was a stellar album.

 

[coemgen]

Not a bad album. Mexican Dogs and I've Seen Enough are cool tunes.

Anyone else?

Says someone who likes Girls Aloud.

GAF has as much credibility in a conversation about music as Sarah Palin does in a conversation on Foreign Policy.

ZING!

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

So you're saying I'm as sexy as Sarah Palin? I'm cool with that.

 

[Dalton]

So you're saying I'm as sexy as Sarah Palin? I'm cool with that.

No, I'm saying that you can probably see good music from your house, but have never actually heard it.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I'm actually not really sure why I made that comment about these guys sucking earlier in this thread. I kinda like Cold War Kids. We Used to Vacation is a great song.

[BVS]

I like what I've heard so far, but I've only given it one time through...

 

[coemgen]

"Dreams Old Men Dream" is a great one, too.

 

[agentorange]

Someone needs to get the new album stat and tell me about it!

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Oh, man. An old school tete-a-tete between Dalton and me, in which I quickly concede defeat. That warms the cockles of my heart. Those were the days.

But, seriously, to reiterate what I said back in 2008, I don't know why I said they suck. I do think this band is alright. They've got a handful of songs I dig, and I still love We Used To Vacation.

I might check out this new one eventually.

What the view from GAF's house in Music Alaska may look like:

I do think Kid A is a great album. But doesn't everybody?

Bringing up Radiohead in any thread is a very dangerous practice, though. They're probably the second most popular band on this forum, and things can derail and turn into a Radiohead discussion quicker than beer turns to piss.

So, let's talk about Cold War Kids.

I like this song, and not only because it's about alcoholism.

 

[agentorange]

If I wasn't truly interested in the album, I wouldn't have brought this thread back from the abyss... it would be cruel.
There's no denying it, I lol'd at those posts.

The joke was that the album cover is an icy landscape. That's all. Sorry for the unintentional thread derail.

As for the band at hand: I've never really heard any of their stuff, but the track you posted sounds pretty cool. I may have to delve into their back catalog at some point soon...

Friggin' Radiohead fan.

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

I love their song "Hospital Beds". And I like "Hang Me Up To Dry", too.

That's about the extent of my knowledge of the band's stuff, though. But given the fact I like what I've heard, yeah, I'll be interested to hear something off their latest work. I recall reading a review on AMG the other day where they seemed sort of middle of the road on the new album, but how much stock you put in critics' opinions is up to you, of course.

I like Kid A's album cover a lot. Also, the CD booklet is freaking awesome. Oh, whoops.

One of my friends recently brought these guys up, and I've realized that I"m unfamiliar with any of their songs.

 

[Jive Turkey]

They have fabulous rhythm

Wow. I haven't been here forever. Just got a notice in my e-mail about this thread.

I actually interviewed Nathan Willett for a cover article for Relevant magazine. You can read it here: RELEVANT Magazine - January/February 2011 :: Cold War Kids Click on their article headline to go to the article itself. And feel free to tweet/share on FB — that helps me out.

Hope you enjoy it. He was a cool guy to talk to.

Here's a little behind-the-scenes video of the making of the video for "Louder Than Ever," too.
