My favorite track off of Cold War Kids EP, Behave Yourself is Audience. I find myself playing it at least once a day at the Cafe, and thanks to their recent performance on KCRW, I might have to up it to at least twice a day. Enjoy this excellent live performance of Audience.

Yesterday Cold War Kids EP, Behave Yourself was released digitally [via iTunes].  If you want a physical copy your going to have to wait until January 19th.  Through it’s only a four track EP, the consensus around the cafe is that it’s pretty amazing.  Check out their lead single, Audience, below.

Cold War Kids | Hospital Beds [Live on Carson Daly]

// October 15th, 2009 // No Comments » // Video

Easily my favorite track from 2006, Robbers and Cowards.  The Cold War Kids stop by Carson Daly‘s late night show this past Friday and performed, Hospital Beds.  I guess this is Cold War Kids favorite track also.  My question is…have they given up on their second album, Loyalty to Loyalty?

Side Note – I just wasted 30 minutes creating my own mix…this is addicting
