“The tambourine? I might as well play with dolls!”
It seems last night’s television broadcast wasn’t entirely a musical fail fest *cough Grammys *cough. After American Dad had My Morning Jacket as guests for a feature episode, The Simpsons brought down Coldplay to the radioactive suburbs of Springfield, albeit for a short cameo.
Check out the video [...]
The British ‘rockers’ (really?) seem to have fallen in the dark cold claws of the global recession, with tickets for their latest tour being sold online as low as 1$.
They’ve been touring the US since May this year and they’ve been bringing together quite a crowd, with about 50.000 people per show and they’re bringing [...]
A few weeks ago we reported a bit about this year’s Grammy Awards nominees, noting, among others, that the Grammys are finally stepping the game and picking up. The last two editions were disastrous, from multiple perspectives, especially ratings-wise.
The nominees are a bit more relevant (don’t expect for miracles, though), the organization seems better and [...]

Like it or not, you have to admit that Coldplay made one of the best records this year with their Viva La Vida or Death and all his Friends. That’s understandable why they want to ride on its success and squeeze [...]
Yeah didn’t we all… still, something’s wrong here. Didn’t he publicly endorse Obama?? Turns out he did, and he agrees with nothing Palin has to say. Doesn’t mean she can’t be hot. So it’s just lust, not a true love story. Too bad, would have been a sweet couple.
“The Palin situation did my head in. [...]
Some news broke up earlier on NME, concerning a possible Coldplay disbanding, sometime next year. The whole thing was and is still considered only a rumor, but from then till now, it has been taken down by the NME officials, thus giving us reasons to believe there must be some spark of truth to the [...]
I’ve already talked a bit about Coldplay’s “Lost+” remix by Jay-Z, back sometime in October. Like I said before, it isn’t anything too extravagant, like Jay-Z’s ‘Encore’ with Linkin Park, but rather something just different - a well received diversification.
The video for Lost+ just came out a few hours ago and frankly, on this department, [...]
I really loved this year’s “Viva la Vida” by Coldplay, quite unexpectedly, actually. Lovers in Japan, the band’s latest single, is one of my favorite songs off new album, next to Lost and 42, thanks to its easy going, anthemic vibe. I’m really a sucker for these types of melodies. The video doesn’t come any [...]
Lost is definitely my favorite song off “Viva la Vida,” Coldplay’s latest record, released at the beginning of the summer. It’s somewhat dark vibe, amplified by the beautiful dark church-like organ, makes it beautifully haunting and melodic.
“Lost+” is one of the four tracks featured on the Lost single out on November 10 (the other songs [...]
When Viva la Vida came out back in June, I was wrongful to hastefully criticize the album without putting enough consideration into it. Thing is, I really didn’t want to put that much thought into the band’s music at the time, since I’ve never been a fan. I don’t know what happened next, but I [...]
