Cold War Kids

So, it's been forever since I've posted any music, so I guess I'm due. I have posted the Cold War Kids album Robbers & Cowards, which I just recently picked up after seeing them over the summer. I like it, and they are pretty good live.

I pretty much like the whole album, but the following are the standout tracks:

"Hang me up to dry"
"Tell me in the morning"
and
"Passing the hat"

Check it out and let me know what you think.

Santa should be bringing me more goodies (if he knows what's good for him), so I'll probably post a few more in January... stay tuned.

For all you bat-nerds

the joker

I'm f'ing stoked for the 2nd installment!!

Well, the year is coming to an end, and while it may be a week or so premature, I find myself needing a distraction today. Certainly there are albums I've missed, haven't heard, or forgotten... but, whatever. So, without further ado...
