Weekend Song – Cold War Kids
June 30, 2007
I’d like to swing out of that last post and jump right into the weekend song. We’re finding emo today, with a total belter.
Hang Me Out To Dry takes southern rock voice and clipped, syncopated guitars – it’s Idlewild meets The Black Crowes meets Talking Heads. What else do you need?
The sound of an idling bicycle wheel? Oh go on then.
These weekend songs, by the way, are now have their own page which you can get to either here or in the navigation on the right.

I’ll listen when Vox becomes available again.
I really like this feature of This is This.
Cheers Ed.

There’s your trouble. Your vox was shot.
Those things’ll give up on you.
Try it now.
Yep, that’s got it.
The first few notes sound very sixties.
Cool! The solo sounds very ’80s pop!
I really like CWK. My best friend in HK got me hooked on them and they’re making an appearance at Lollapalooza next month. Very excited! Thanks for posting this.
Love this. Wait until Emom hears it.
It reminds me a lot of the original version of Heartbeats (The Knife, not José Gonzalez)
Honestly Wendy I have had this album for months!
Thanks Emom – I thought you’d like it.
Leave a comment. Play nice. I will turn this blog around.
