Listen Before You Buy

Coldplay’s latest video for their new single “Charlie Brown” is a fantastical colourful piece of imagery.

With “Mylo Xyloto” and under the continued guidance of Brian Eno, Coldplay have created an electronically-focused atmosphere full of reverb and lushness. The record could easily be described as stadium-sized, especially in comparison to the group’s previous works.

What separates Snowmine’s debut album “Laminate Pet Animal” from other electronic pop records though (aside from its endless possibilities for anagrams of course), is its brazen diversity.

Watch the new video for Coldplay‘s song “Paradise” below, taken from the album “Mylo Xyloto”.

I’ve often admitted that I’m not a huge fan of the Spanish music scene. There are very few bands that I’ve found myself enjoying, and most of the acts I do listen to (such as Polock or The Sunday Drivers), happen to sing in English. One welcome exception to this trend is vetusta morla (who prefer to [...]

Listen to “Mylo Xyloto” the new album by Coldplay below. Having been a fairly big Coldplay fan (yes I’m aware they’re not the epitome of “Indie Cool”, but who gives a shit about that when you enjoy the music?) since back in the days when “Shiver” was just beginning to get airplay on the radio [...]

Remember “Parachutes”? I miss “Parachutes”. But hey, Coldplay are still here and today they’ve revealed their latest single, the [sigh] anthemic “Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall”. This is obviously intended to be a singalong kind of tune: they’ve kept the melody simple, you’ll only need to hear it once to remember it forever, and topped [...]

So far it seems like the first few months of 2011 have been dominated either by atrociously hilarious pop (you know who I’m talking about), unbelievably awesome comebacks (Beastie Boys), or soul-crushing mixtapes. A recurring theme on the those mixtapes is the mixtaper’s ability to make trite and once-enjoyable-but-now-just-a-parody-of-themselves music, listenable again.  OFWGKTA‘s Frank Ocean released his [...]

Hey kids, this is a quickie… I somehow stumbled upon this mashup and got really hooked. Bummed that the link was retired for downloads, I reached out to this guy directly to get my hands on a high quality rip so I could enjoy in the comfort of my own iTunes. I think he was [...]

This post is a “QuickPick”.  QuickPicks are my attempt at getting all of the music that’s sent to me that I like (or just music I like but have no words for because it’s so awesome), out into the dubya dots. Any time I get sent music that I like I “star” it in Gmail [...]

Photography by me. “Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time.” – John Lubbock I’ve been toying with the idea of putting together a mixtape for a while [...]

When music makes you feel something then it’s done its job, right? Whether it’s happiness from listening to an album that reminds you of your best summer with your friends, the song you and your spouse had your first dance to, or that new Justin Bieber song that reminds you of that time where you [...]

I’ve been listening to the debut album “Sounds People Can Hear” by The New Limb over the weekend (thanks to Ash for sending it to me!) and one thing that struck me is the various different influences you can hear from various different genres. Sufjan Stevens, Coldplay, The Strokes, and The Shins could all be [...]
