COLD WAR KIDS KEEP PANDORA WARM

Downtown's Cold War Kids, whose "First" is #3 on Mediabase's Alternative radio chart this week, have unleashed a four-song live Session exclusively on Pandora. The intimate set, recorded at the streaming-radio giant's NYC HQ, leads off with the aforementioned Modern Rock hit, and is accompanied by a band-curated mixtape of their favorite summer songs.

In a related story, Pandora's Lars Murray has curated a cocktail so strong you'll think the Cold War is back on.
