Would really love Robyn to do an album of covers including every song ever written. Even a moderately decent rock song (and that’s coming from a big Coldplay fan) turns into something extraordinary when Robyn adds her touch of genuine pop magic. Stream/download (via Hypetrak) the BBC Live Lounge cover of “Every Teardrop is a [...]

Coldplay go stop motion animation glow in the dark paint in the video for “Every Teardrop is a Waterfall” – from the new 3 track EP of the same name (that I could like a lot more than I do). Still, “Teardrop” is most definitely a grower and a great live tune. Which we know. [...]

After hearing a handful of new songs from Coldplay’s Rock Am Ring set (including their new EP’s Brian Eno produced “Every Teardrop is a Waterfall” and “Major Minus”), I was overall underwhelmed with new Coldplay. And I really, actually love Coldplay. “Moving to Mars”, the 3rd track from the EP (due Sunday), is a much [...]

As it turns out, Coldplay does have at least half a new album’s worth of material ready to go. Also, the 4 new songs that the band debuted at Germany’s Rock Am Ring festival all have considerably better titles than “Every Teardrop is a Waterfall” (still love you, Coldplay). “Hurts Like Heaven”, “Major Minus”, “Us [...]

Coldplay’s new single, “Every Teardrop is a Waterfall” (sure is), isn’t topping any of the Brian Eno produced Viva La Vida tracks for me, but Eno did manage to steer the band in a semi-non-piano ballad direction for a little while longer. No official news of a new album as of yet, but you can [...]

If you watch every video of Coldplay that comes onto the internet (and are not ashamed of it – even a little), you might recognize “Christmas Lights” from when the band was featured on 60 Minutes last year. The finished Christmas track hit iTunes today and is accompanied by a new video that was shot [...]

Bono, The Edge, Rihanna, and Jay-Z performed their song written with Swizz Beats at the Hope for Haiti Now benefit Friday night. The performance of “Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour)” is above, and the official mp3 of the studio version of the track is available on iTunes with 100% of the proceeds going to Partners in [...]

So bla bla bla, right? Another “Best of the Decade” list. I can’t possibly bring myself to explain these choices in detail of any kind. I’m all detailed out for the year. I feel like I keep reading the same things about a few of these records on different sites, and no one likes when [...]

Despite more rain, All Points West went on as scheduled after a 4 hour delay in opening the gates yesterday at Liberty State Park. Some acts were canceled and others moved around, but Coldplay still managed to have enough time to play a 21 song set that included a cover of Beastie Boys’ “Fight For [...]

As promised, here’s the full squirrel bombing video for Coldplay’s “Strawberry Swing,” one of the best tracks on Viva La Vida, and one of my favorites from last year. It’s also another top notch clip for Coldplay’s often impressive video-ography. The single will be officially released on September 14 in the UK.
Hello, my name is [...]
