VIDEO: The Cold War Kids get interactive

Ok this is fun. Those Cold War Kids have gone and made an interactive video for their song "I've Seen Enough", and it's kind of great. The film was directed by Sam Jones (he did Wilco's I Am Trying to Break Your Heart), and has four distinct versions of the song that the viewer can switch between or mute altogether. Mix and match! Like I said, it's actually pretty fun. Check it out at mtvmusic.com.

CONTEST: Cold War Kids Giveaway

The Cold War Kids are touring the States through April in support of last year's Loyalty to Loyalty, and to celebrate we've got a handful of things to hang on your walls and spin on your record players.

Here's all you gotta do: Write us a comment with your name and email address (please!), and tell us the best live band you've seen in the last year. If you haven't seen anyone in the last year (shame on you), just tell us your all-time favorite live act. And be sure to write in before Friday, April 3rd, cuz that's the deadline.

Then check out some songs below and a video of these guys performing my favorite track off of their first record, Robbers & Cowards, at the Reading & Leeds Festival in 2007. After that, check out their latest Daytrotter session here. And if these guys are stopping in your town, well then, you know what to do.

UPDATE: In the continuing saga of how much Blogger sucks, they've once again erased our post due to illegal mp3s. That means we've lost all the comments made so far! So if you already made a comment and still want a chance to win, PLEASE re-enter your comment. LAME, we know. Sorry guys.

UPDATE on the UPDATE: I didn't realize that we've got all our comments saved in our email. So we've still got everyone who's entered so far! Thanks guys!
