The World Of Music

I feel like some people in the WoM will eat this shit and love it. They are a Montreal band coming out with a new album in February. Check out this free song on Pitchfork. I can't stop listening to it. http://pitchfork.com/news/41337-listen-the-luyas-too-beautiful-to-work/

Does anyone here like them? :nice: http://www.myspace.com/boris http://www.morawk.com/boris/ http://www.iamwarmandpowerful.com http://twitter.com/sslyby http://sslyby.tumblr.com/ http://www.lastfm.com.br/music/Someone+Still+Loves+You+Boris+Yeltsin/ http://www.polyvinylrecords.com/artists/index.php?id=246

A lounge type of thread in the WoM. So pretentious. I picked the track of the day on CBC Radio 3 today (kind of like BBC Radio 6 except Canadian). http://wp.me/psP1T-F7 They announced U2 and Arcade Fire are coming to Moncton which is a few hours from where I live. U2 have never been to Atlantic Canada before. Arcade Fire haven't been to Atlantic Canada since 2004 before they were huge. Fleet Foxes new single. And it isn't even 2:00pm yet!

Music mood muted despite Lady Gaga, more big albums (Reuters) - When even Lady Gaga can't lift the gloom, you know the music industry is in the doldrums. Despite a release schedule that includes the reigning queen of pop, Britney Spears, R.E.M., U2 and Coldplay, record labels are bracing themselves for another tough year. Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, Warner Music Group and EMI -- the market leaders -- struggled in 2010 as they have for a decade, hampered by online piracy, shrinking retail space and an inability to adapt to technological change. Global recorded music sales overall slumped by nine percent last year, and figures out last week …

A recent BBC article asks if UK Pop has gone too "posh": http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_9373000/9373158.stm "The majority of pop musicians are now privately educated, or went to stage school, according to Word magazine. Does the rise of Lily Allen, Florence Welch, Chris Martin and the like spell the end of working class pop?" Pete Watermann ('80s pop producer) says : "This has been a gripe I've had for over 20 years, and particularly right now. It's never been worse," he says. "The major companies dominate and they see a CV and if you haven't got 96 O levels you ain't getting a job." Even James Blunt's mother (bless!) has got in on the sto…

I'm just wondering if anybody likes them here..... :)

I know it exists but i cant find it anywhere!!!

Do you think it's ok if bands experiment more on b-sides? For example, try completely different genres? Do you think it's ok? Why or why not?

I'm not really a fan of dance/electropop music but I actually like this group... they came here last year and they were supporting Kylie Minogue's concert. Heard they were very good so I gave them a try. They have a very cool style! Anyone who likes them as well?

The current issue of NME has a large feature on many of the major album releases expected to be released this year. Radiohead, The Strokes, Kasabian… NME usually takes a week or two to hit the States so I was hoping that our UK board members could share some of the details shared in this issue. I have created a thread about this in the main Coldplay forum but as opposed to posting in each individual band's thread I figured it would be easier to just start a new thread in World of Music. So… what did we learn?

“Amid a hailstorm of new music this month, Crystal Fighters have stood out as one of the most interesting prospects by a mile– something genuinely new sounding” NME [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmvOQNBkCxA]YouTube - CRYSTAL FIGHTERS - XTATIC TRUTH (ORIGINAL) - OFFICIAL VIDEO[/ame] One of the best new bands out there. So glad I discovered them. Here's what their facebook page says about them:

i love them ! ilove their music! i think they are great!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D

Who has heard from them? Where are they from? I've just heard "Long Time coming" for a few times and the song is absolutely great... anyone got the album and can tell me what it sounds like ... :confused: ... sounds like one more fantastic band

i am sick to death of crappy punk bands who cannot play the guitar thinking they are kewl. They are everywhere. for instance avril lavine, she cant sing. mayby it is just my circumstances. what are you as big coldplay fans on this one? wht ever u say long live coldpaly

I've read that Chris Martin is a fan. I listen to him in the studio and prior to writing for inspiration. He's great ! Check him when you hit writers block (or producers block)...He'll inspire you. http://www.myspace.com/milosh
