Ah . . . our girlfriends.  Our wives, our girlfriends, our significant others.  As much as the chemistry of “togetherness” allows, sometimes we have to hand it to eachother for just how much inane BS the other person puts up with.  At some point, we’ve all been on the endless shopping trips, through the mood swings, and sat through long, boring, chick flicks.

In the same breath though, they listen to us ramble on about our latest vinyl discovery, comic book fetishes, music rants, skateboarding atrocities and so on, so forth.  They put up with just as much stuff that they don’t particularly care about as we do.  The Cold War Kids apparently realized this and decided to devote their latest (and, by far, greatest) single, “Audience of One” to the matter.  Casting their own girlfriends in the video, the band created a real, fighting couple’s chemistry that we all know all too well.

“But babe . . . it’s a live album!”
