Yusuf Islam, formerly Cat Stevens, didn’t hold back his excitement recently when he discovered that Coldplay allegedly plagiarized his song (not Joe Satriani’s), saying, “if you listen to [Viva La Vida] it’s mine! It’s the Foreigner Suite, it is!”...

It's one thing to get accused of plagiarism by a small Brooklyn band or campy guitarist, but it's got to hurt to be called out by legendary singer/songwriter Cat Stevens. Coldplay's "Viva La Vida" must have one of the most ripped off melodies in...

The title refers to the choice catchphrase of the show-within-the-show on Ricky Gervais' HBO sitcom Extras, with which I am completely obsessed. Its closing credits song (covered by Chris Martin in one of the most brilliant television cameos of all time) is the title track to this Cat Stevens record. I've always been a big fan of the album.

Sure I grew up on Tea for the Tillerman, sure my chilhood was very Harold and Maude-esque, and sure I have always loved Cat Stevens. He was popular right about the time that many moms and pops record collections were being absorbed and raided to form the building blocks of hip hop. And yet the general consensus is that this Cat is not Funky. Just like 60-70's contemporary Neil Young, Yusef (nee...

Along with "Teaser and the Firecat" this album represents the first half of the greatest one/two punch a singer songwriter has ever released. Recorded in around 1970 ...the spare instrumentation and wonderfully timeless songs still hold up today!The remastering was excellent on the previous edition so that isn't the big deal here...its the bonus CD.

This ad ran in the Dallas Morning News the day President Kennedy was shot.It's time to cool this vicious rhetoric before we get another man killed. Things like "traitor!", "kill him!", "terrorist!" have been recently shouted from people in the crowds at McCain rallies. Today you saw John McCain attempt to put out the fires members of his campaign have helped start in recent days.... Let's hope ...
