Kids, Cats and Cringe.
Hang me out to dry cos The Cold War Kids have a new album landing September 8, titled Loyalty to Loyalty. The track listing is thus:
1. Against Privacy
2. Mexican Dogs
3. Every Valley Is Not A Lake
4. Something Is Not Right With Me
5. Welcome To The Occupation
6. Golden Gate Jumpers
7. Avalanche in B
8. I`ve Seen Enough
9. Every Man I Fall For
10. Dreams Old Men Dream
11. On The Night My Love Broke Through
12. Relief
13. Cryptomnesia
The song Something is Not Right With Me is available to download from their website. The Kids’ website is so simple its cool. Black and white everything, simple fonts – its quite stunning. Which is in direct contrast to The Stray Cats website.
Every colour of the rainbow and layouts so 1998 that you’re not sure if they’re being ironically retro or or just have hoplessly bad taste and design skills. Either way, Brian Setzer and the boys are headed this way with their rockabilly goodness, because, aparently, we demanded it! Ticket details are listed here
If thats not your cup of tea, then have a go at this; Metallica’s track listing for their new album Death Magnetic as posted to some website before being hastily removed.
“That Was Just Your Life”
“The End Of The Line”
“Broken, Beat & Scarred”
“The Day That Never Comes”
“All Nightmare Long”
“Cyanide”
“The Unforgiven III”
“The Judas Kiss”
“Suicide & Redemption”
“My Apocalypse”
Yes kids thats right! The Unforgiven III. The song that was pretty good on their black album, then re-worked and released as the not so good The Unforgiven II on their Re-Load album.
Other names for the song they were toying with were Unforgiven Forever, Unforgiven Back In Training, Return of the Unforgiven, Unforgiven Revolutions, The Unforgiven Ultimatum and The Unforgiven: Dead Mans Chest. Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the metal aisle of the music shop, James Hetfield and the boys go and drag this old chestnut out for another re-working. Or you could wait for the new Guitar Hero Game which will feature Broken Beat & Scarred.
Hmmm. Less Cowbell!
