Cold War Kids – Complainer

Video

Live version

Last live show I attended was Cold War Kids at First Ave. My ID was expired but besides that nonsense that it was a fantastic show. They were touring this album and like everyone they have another pandemic LP coming out soon. This isn't my favorite of their songs but seems appropriate. There was a time that I pretty much only listened to CWK and Bloc Party and it was great.

Bonus favorite song.

Spanish Love Songs – Self-destruction (as a sensible career choice)

Video

Hey there citizens. Guess I'll be doing these for the week. I mostly listen to Alternative and Punk type music pop or otherwise. I haven't really thought through this week but I'm thinking the Bouncing Souls, Cold War Kids, and the Implants are likely going to pop up.

I listened to this Spanish Love Songs A LOT in 2020. It seems appropriate for todays video after another police shooting in the area. I live near Cup foods and Lake Street and the wounds and damaged buildings are a constant reminder of where we are both as a city and society. So yeah this song still seems on point.

“It won’t be this bleak forever."
Yeah right.
I hope you’re right.
Have you seen me lately?

Bee Yang – Kws Txhiaj

Video

I don't know the name of this specific song, but kws txhiaj is the general term for song poetry, a traditional Hmong art form. Bee Yang learned song poetry while growing up in Laos before the Secret War there, and after immigrating to the United States, he performed regularly at Hmong New Year gatherings and other celebrations. His daughter, Kao Kalia Yang, is a noted author and he has sung at a number of events with her in recent years.

Thao Nguyen – Temple

Video 3 Comments

I got to wondering if Thao (of Thao and the Get Down Stay Down) had been up to anything interesting lately. Turns out, she has.

I'm posting this for the first song, but I'm certainly not going to stop you from listening to this whole performance.
