Well it's the end of another gorgeous month here in the heartland of the States. Gasp, I am an American blogger. I live in the armpit of America where nothing unusually awesome ever happens. Which is probably why I have so much free time to listen to music and play like my opinions matter {which we all know they really do}. Once again, though, the time has come for me to post my favorite re...

While you might be in the middle of putting the perfect costume together, I thought I'd just spill a little knowledge on some of the shows tonight. Down in DC the uber-band Coldplay rolls into the Verizon Center with Duffy while on a much smaller stage at Iota Junior League and The Resurrectionists play. Up [...]

I am no Harvard Law graduate, but I'm pretty sure if you are being sued for plagiarism, it'd be a really really good idea to not go on a radio show and say you've ripped off other artists. Coldplay's Chris Martin did just that on a BBC Radio 1 show today. Martin and his band Coldplay are being sued by guitarist Joe Satriani, who believes Coldplay's successful "Viva La Vida" title-track is a dir...

"Yesterday news hit that Coldplay":http://mog.com/Charley_Rogulewski/blog_post/158862 were giving out a free MP3 of their first Viva La Vida single, "Violet Hill." So today I ventured into the inter-space to download the track via the Band's Web site. After being asked for my email, zip code and country of origin I was told to check my inbox for a link to the download. I ran into minor technica...

Do Coldplay have the balls to release their new album Viva La Vida pro bono, like their fellow Brits Radiohead? No. But Chris Martin and Co. are doing their best to keep fans happy while bringing the bread home by treating the world's internet users with a free MP3 of the album's first single "Violet Hill." It ain't no free record, but at least Coldplay are attempting to keep up with the evolut...

Giving away free music is addicting for Coldplay. Last week Coldplay successfully released their first single "Violet Hill" as a free MP3 via their Web site and some 2 million people downloaded the track. (Even Coldplay is surprised at the number, I'm sure).Now the band are giving away their next single "A Spell A Rebel Yell," which sorta rips off U2 "Mothers of the Disappeared."The band is pul...

Yesterday my roommate Joel and I were having a conversation about Coldplay. With the release of Viva La Vida they are sort of everywhere. Joel was saying how with every passing day he couldn't stand Coldplay more and more. He use to really like them during the Parachute and Rush Of Blood To The Head days. I was saying how I feel like the general population says they can't stand Coldplay, yet th...

You'd think Coldplay would spend the summer in Europe like most bands, enjoying stops along the French Riviera, because they "have the dough":http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/music/article3810583.ece to yacht it up in Cannes. But, instead the foursome is spending the summer touring the muggy U.S. The band will kick off their tour in Philadelphia on June 29th. An...

Just released today on the very exclusive Bono-fied creation http://www.redwire.com/ comes this unreleased gem by Coldplay. Lhuna features a very Liz Fraser-ish vocals by Kylie Minogue on a Massive Attack-esque inspired rarity.I want to know why Lhuna wasn't included on Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends? Martin's deep soulful vocal is something I want to hear more of. Lhuna is their mos...

Do you know a band or an artist whose music leaves you indifferent or cold but whose personality you like? I'm pretty resistant to Coldplay's music (where's the hook in 'Clocks' fer godsake?) but I've liked Chris Martin since the day I overheard him in a Radio 1 interview refusing to answer more questions by saying "People are sick of hearing me. I'm sick of hearing me." He then offered, instea...

As The Queen's Princess alerted us last week, Coldplay released the brand new video for "Viva La Vida." It's a gorgeous video with vibrant colours and dramatic videography. Today, however, an alternate version popped up at OnSmash and it's completely different than the "official" version. Where the 1st video is intensely high quality, this 2nd one is intentionally grainy. And the story-line...

We've learned from the current state of MOG, that it's good to have an alternative source or 2 in our back pocket, that we can use for uploading, when MOG uploading is disabled for a period of time. Fortunatley this time, it's due to a major upgrade of service that is on the way. But in the future, who knows??We can't just let the music die for however many weeks it's going to be unavailable, r...

Due to productions issues... Coldplay have had to postpone their U.S. tour in support of Viva La Vida. Originally scheduled to launch on June 29th, the Colplay's U.S. summer tour will start two weeks later on July 14th in Los Angeles."The band have experienced some production delays which mean that the show simply won't be ready for June 29. It's very frustrating but they promise you a show wor...
