Troubles

A Brooklyn band called Creaky Boards claimed that Coldplay's stole their song and turn it into Viva la Vida. You can have a listen and see what they've got to say:


Honestly,I can't hear much similarity in them.
But nice 'tache though,dude in the video!

Chris Martin's mate Kanye West was in bigger trouble!
Kanye was booed when he's 2 hours late:

The Grammy winner walked onto the festival stage nearly two hours past his scheduled 2:45 a.m. performance time Sunday morning and was greated by bleary-eyed fans' chorus of boos and chants of "Kanye sucks."
[Yahoo!Music]

Can anyone control Kanye's huge ego? Nah.

The Last Shadow Puppets - Standing Next to Me

They look ridiculously sharp and sexy!

No reviews!

Good music overload! Some huge names in album release recently....indicates the coming of summer and of course,music festivals! First thing first,the reviews. Ahhh,it's really hard that a music novice like me is to review albums from those huge names in music. Who am I to judge anyway? So I'm taking the easy way out--no reviews,pure admirations. No, I'm not being lazy; I love those albums and musicians dearly. The beauty of them are beyond words(I shit you not!), and all I can say is that you definitely need to own these albums.

Radiohead - The Rip (Portishead cover)

You might have already seen those giant billboard on the street and the huge campaign of Converse's celebration (of whatever year it is!?). Many artists from different fields joined the campaign and some musicians launched unlikely collaboration--Like this one:The Strokes+Santogold+Pharrell. The song My Drive Thru is actually not much of a commercial song, but it's always nice to finally hear Julian Casablancas's voice again!

Shearwater-Rook

Jonathan Meiburg聲音優美是無庸置疑的,但我沒想到Shearwater的新專輯Rook會是這麼驚為天人. 恬靜與壓抑的旋律編織出Rook--象徵死亡的鳥類--的黑暗氣氛. 當你正覺得情緒隨加重的樂音高漲時,下一秒就會突然收歛:許多的anti-climax. 古典氣息緩緩流動過晦暗的空間,Rook可以將你帶往與夏日豔陽截然不同冷酷世界.

Travis台北演唱會

在台灣的英搖愛好者們得知消息後想必都開始引頸期盼,Travis的亞洲巡迴將於八月四號來到新莊體育場.詳細售票資訊在此. 廣告詞有點莫名其妙("本次活動人數如突破8,000人，本公司承諾將於2009年12月前邀請COLDPLAY來台"),但不管如何這場演唱會絕對不能錯過!

Paul McCartney back in Liverpool

Paul McCartney was back in Liverpool and ,for his first time in 40 years, performed "A Day In The Life." 興奮與感動使我的眼淚不自覺的飆了出來,"I read the news today, oh boy...",沒有John與George的世界比四十年前更absurd,我更無法想像沒有了Macca的世界會變得如何. 總有一天,我要親眼看著Macca,和他一起唱著每一首歌.
