The Art of Song and Beating A Joke Into the Ground

I wish I could explain some long, elaborate history with the Cold War Kids. Something that involves a sword battle, a garden gnome, and a luck dragon.

 "Did someone say luck dragon?"

Yes a luck dragon. Sadly I do not have such story. I only have two Cold War Kids songs on my ipod and the second one is today's song, Audience. The other being Hang Me Out To Dry. Actually it was Hang Me Out To Dry which was my first introduction to the band. We were out a bar in Port Jefferson (Billies I believe... how about that for free advertisement) and the song started to play. We had taken control of the back end of the bar and were trying to figure out what the song was. Multiple attempts were made with our phone identifiers but each one was a failed attempt. Finally I believe it was Shea who was able to get the track name and band by climbing over a stool and taming a luck dragon.

"Did someone say luck dragon?"

Yes a luck dragon (I'm already tired of this joke). So every time I hear Hang Me Out To Dry I think of that night in Port Jefferson. It was just one of those solid good nights, and I believe there was pizza for the car ride home. What more can you ask for?

Hang Me Out To Dry isn't the song of the day though but it's easier to talk about that then Audience. It's not that I don't like Audience because I do. It reminds me in a way of One Is the Loneliest Number. Not in sound but in lyrics. It's a sweet sounding song that was nice on my lobes this morning. I especially enjoy around the 2:04 mark. I just like the way the song breaks down at this point.

The only reason why I downloaded this song was because I was making a playlist and needed a filler song and I believe that itunes was offering a free download on it. I recognized the band from the awesome night in Port Jefferson and took a chance. The rest as they say is history. Although I don't really listen to that playlist that much and at the current moment I can't remember the name of it. Such a tragic tale.

And thus concludes all my stories about the Cold War Kids and luck dragons.

God this is terrible. I can't apologize enough Shufflers.
