I know we already did our favourite albums of 2009. But thats just one straight up category. Lets do our own little award show around the same time as the upcoming Grammy Awards. How it works: Nominate up to 5 albums or artists for the polls. I'll open up polls on the weekend. Either send me a PM, post it on my coldplaying "wall", or post your nominations in this thread. Make sure the albums and artists that you nominate are eligible. I.e. for new artist you can't vote for Coldplay :P Anything from 2008 is fair game! So here are the categories Album of the Year -Self explanatory Comeback artist and album of the Year -I'm not talking a 2 year hiatus here,…

Lux Interior, lead singer of influential garage-punk act the Cramps, died Wednesday morning (February 4) due to an existing heart condition, according to a statement from the band's publicist. He was 62. Born Erick Lee Purkhiser, Interior started the Cramps in 1972 with guitarist Poison Ivy (born Kristy Wallace, later his wife) — whom, as legend has it, he picked up as a hitchhiker in California. By 1975, they had moved to New York, where they became an integral part of the burgeoning punk scene surrounding CBGBs. Their music differed from most of the scene's other acts in that it was heavily steeped in camp, with Interior's lyrics frequently drawing from schlocky…

I did a search and didn't find any old threads for this, so I thought I'd start one and introduce you all to some music you probably haven't heard. After Coldplay and Death Cab for Cutie and Radiohead, my favorite music comes from this independent singer--Matt Marque. He put up his entire album 'Nothing Personal' as a free download, which you can download or listen to here. I downloaded it a year ago and still listen to it constantly. Especially the song "Undertow." He recently released a song that is going to be on his 2nd album, called "You Who Enter," which you can listen to or download here. Hope you enjoy. :)

So, it's time for the ME no.2! For those who don't know what I'm talking about: The whole point of this mixtape exchange is to exchange mixtapes. DUUUH! But the thing is - your partner who'll receive the mix won't know which songs are in it. He'll have to guess! Rules: 1. Sign up saying you want to participate 2. When the deadline for signing up is over, you'll get a PM saying who your partner is 3. You mustn't tell your partner that (s)he is your partner! :o 4. You make the mixtape and delete EVERY info about each song. 5. Upload the mixtape and send me the link. I will then send it to person assigned to you. 6. When you get your mixtape, you make a review…

The Colorado quartet just finshed up in the studio recording the follow up to 2007's self produced This Room Becomes A Crowd. Tree Trunk Airplanes is more of an extended EP (one of two planned for the year) than a full LP. This moody and tense follow up to the lighter debut has the band really stepping up in production, cohesiveness, songwriting and an overall understanding of creating a cohesive collection of songs. The band is giving me permission to release this on various message boards and this is one of the first ones I figured I'd post it on. If the powers that be need confirmation I can put you in touch with the band. They are completely independent and getting…

Does anyone have the artwork for The Fray's new album? (Highres) Or at least the artwork itunes included. Thanks :-) -Jesse-

The Grammys are one of those shows/events I have not watched in a couple years mainly because every attempt I've made to watch it have resulted in frustration. The best artists don't actually win, the performances are borderline annoying, and the acts are usually predictable. Mainstream hip hop and other music that makes me want to cry. But maybe things will be different this year? First of all Radiohead is playing. That has raised my curiousty. Also today they announced that U2 will be performing as well joining artists like Coldplay, Kayne West, and Carrie Underwood. More performers here: http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1603763/20090129/rihanna.jhtml

Iron Maiden create a hotel for the music elite and the first rule is...behave FOR half a century rock’n’roll and hotels have been uneasy bedfellows. Stars have thrown televisions from windows or ridden motorbikes up the corridors. The hard-pressed staff have been left to clean up and stick it on the bill. Not any more. The management of one of the hardest rocking groups has decided to go into the hotel business and open Britain’s first luxury inn dedicated to musicians. The desk clerk will be dressed in black, the mini-bars will be hidden inside giant loud-speaker stacks and the cinema in the basement will screen films such as Notorious, about the life and deat…

RED CORTEZ is: Harley Prechtel - Cortez Vocals/Piano/Guitar/Harmonica Ryan Kirkpatrick Electric Bass/Upright Bass/Vocals Diego Guerrero Drums/Percussions Calvin J. Love Guitar/Keys Music is a participatory profession. You have to be willing to put it all on the line every night, fighting insomnia for endless hours in a cramped van and eating whatever looks passable in the snack aisle of the Flying J. Red Cortez breathes every moment on earth as though it is an opportunity and a gift. They are inspired to channel an acute sense of immediacy. An unwavering urgency is what sets Red Cortez apart. My favorite track @ the moment is "All The Difference". The si…

Such a sad day! So sad to hear of John passing away this morning :cry: http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2009/jan/29/john-martyn-dies The singer-songwriter John Martyn has died aged 60. Known for musical marriage of folk and jazz, Martyn was one of the most distinctive and prolific artists of his generation. His most successful album was 1973's Solid Air, the title song of which was said to be in tribute to singer-songwriter Nick Drake, with whom Martyn was often compared. His career spanned four decades and he worked with numerous high-profile musicians, including Eric Clapton, David Gilmour and Phil Collins. He also worked extensively with his former wife B…

So I saw this music video from an artist named Gin Wigmore and she looks like ashley simpson at first, but she's not like her at all. Her voice is pretty unique and her music is actually pretty good.

He was only 31 years old. May god bless his soul Hello, Everyone. It breaks my heart to inform you all that Charlie Cooper, my better half in Telefon Tel Aviv, passed away on January 22nd. We have been friends since high school, and began making records together a decade ago. We have been so fortunate to tour the world together, while at the same time having a massive amount of laughs at one another's expense. Aside from Charlie's singular genius and musical gifts, I can tell you that he was a total sweetheart of a guy, and a loving friend and confidant to people everywhere. His musicianship was surpassed only by his greater gift to the world - his warmth, his…

Hi there and thanks for checking out this thread. Now I know this site is completely devoted to Coldplay but there's been a change in the atmospheric pressure regarding music and emotional taste in music. What i'm trying to say is that Coldplay are amazing and 5 ordinary members of the general public have decided to create a cover band called Cold Patrol. Now I know what your thinking, "great name, but wheres the 'Patrol' coming from?" Well, the newly formed band have decided to coinside a certain charasmatic band of the 21st Century where there anthems have reached the hearts of many, Snow Patrol. The band will be performing songs from both bands at thier sh…

The good old 12-inch vinyl album made a comeback in 2008 with Radiohead topping the LP chart.

I know this is a wee bit of shameless plugging but stick with me on this, hopefully you'll thank me for it :) Mr. So & So are an English band who have just released their new album 'Sugarstealer'. We are very difficult to categorize but like Coldplay we place a heavy emphasis on melody and hooks as opposed to image or just basic showoffery (have I just created a new word?). If you like Coldplay (obviously), U2, Peter Gabriel, XTC, Dave Matthew's band et al then I'm sure that you'll like our new album. Sugarstealer is currently only available on iTunes. If you would like to sample it free, there is a montage of Sugarstealer at http://www.myspace.com/mrsoandso …
