open up your eyes
honestly, what is more important for you? 1) prove that Martin is a hypocrite or 2) encourage people to do something against global warming i'm not defending either Chris Martin, his interests or his actions, but this is not the right way to prevent the global warming. moreover, i would also like to ask him about all that "shit" he does, but definitely privately, face to face, vis-a-vis. not buying his records or not going to his concerts wouldn't solve anything. Coldplay's music has nothing to do with Martin's personal "hypocrite views". the fans can't change Chris Martin but THEY CAN DO AGAINST GLOBAL WARMING, and it's more important so instead of criticising Chris Martin because of his "dumb actions" (this is a personal issue which may be solved with sending an e-mail, letter, whatever to his address), encouraging people to recycle, to do not drive their cars when they can walk or ride a bike and to do not pollute the atmosphere would be more useful and more appreciated :thumbsup:

what i said and meant under "separate music from the rest": artists should be judged for their music, that won't make their music better or worse if they support charity or their flying habits exceed by 250 times the carbon norm. and i don't really think the fans will change their opinion about Chris and Coldplay as musicians yes i disappointed in him too and those numbers stunned me, but for god's sake i like or dislike Coldplay for their music and not for their personalities lol i don't even know what are you trying to prove, the people are not blind, they either believe in these facts or they don't

i admire George Monbiot and you have the point, but! Chris Martin is a hypocrite like many others and let's separate the music that he makes from personal attitudes

shit happens when people care to do shit this is exactly what happened, although as it was said the ozone depletion is not as huge problem as it was years ago, the solution to prevent the growing of the hole is found apparently lol- Weird Chris and Gwyneth comparisons (article)

i'm torrenting it :mellow: :veryshifty:- Music videos killed the real artists?
many bands release singles without videos, it's not necessary to produce a video for the single. depends on the artist and heavily on the music industry. if they say "this and this and that are gonna be the singles and you'll have to make 3-4 videos for that album. if you won't do that, you won't get the contract", the bands don't really have many chances, do they? can you imagine this situation? because i do. unfortunately, the weight of videos and singles releases is very heavy in the 21st century. this situation would never happen 25-30 years ago, i guess. the power and the pressure of the music label is endless, probably i'm not really blaming MTV, because i know it's cool and everything and of course there is a plenty of really good music videos, i just want to show the bad consequence of the MTV, because i think it turned out as it wasn't supposed to be- Music videos killed the real artists?
After the first airing of The Buggles' classic song Video Killed The Radio Star, the world of music changed radically. all the serious consequences are probably seen now. in 2006, when you switch on the MTV all you can see are the overrated, manufactured, voiceless teen pop idols and the mainstream indie fucks was it really a good idea starting to broadcast music videos? what's the point of these music videos and MTV anyway, aside of commercial success, artificial and temporary popularity and more money? artists like Bob Dylan or Neil Young were "killed" thank to invention of music videos. they never even had a chance to be commercialy successful after MTV has aired their first video. but let's analyse the situation a bit go back in the time till the 70s. there was no music videos. music artists worked hard to get appreciated and mostly they got rated by their music talent, song writing and instrument playing. people liked and appreciated their music. commercial success doesn't play a big role, obviously after, we jump a bit in the time and go to the 90s. MTV reaches the highest level in it's history. they are as popular as never before. the MTV made up pop stars are as popular as NOBODY has ever been since Elvis and The Beatles. unfortunately, as i experience day to day, the growing up generation depends on TV, music videos, pop stars' opinions and the musical fashion. and i'm not even surprised if 8 of 10 people choose Razorlight and only the other 2 choose a real classic artist like Morissey/The Smiths for example. what is music today anyway? of course, you can always say it hangs on the musical taste, if you like artist a you might not like artist b, that's fine by me. but what is more important now: the artists and their musical interests or the same artists and their commercial interests? my opinion is clear and obvious: music video killed/killing the real music artists and there's absolutely no need of MTV and music videos and there was never think about this when you watch your favorite video on MTV next time and think about all those artists who don't have a chance to get well-known and be mainstream, although they are probably not worse musically, moreover...- [2007] Most anticipated releases
yes and with Capitol records (Coldplay's label too, btw). it's going to be their first "commercial success" presumably- [Q Awards] Coldplay 7/4 Favourites To Pick Up Best Act Award
- [2007] Most anticipated releases
well, there are some lists. but they are based only on rumours of course, mostly speculations... (some releases were already confirmed though) http://www.metacritic.com/music/upcomingreleases.shtml http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_in_music- [2007] Most anticipated releases
Radiohead, British Sea Power, Portishead, Interpol, Arcade Fire, Animal Collective, The Good The Bad & The Queen, Wilco, The Shins these are the most anticipated by me there will also be the new R.E.M. perhaps they started to work on the new material some time ago, if i'm not wrong your anticipations?- The Jeff Buckley appreciation thread (November 17, 1966 - May 29th , 1997)
coincidence or not but Tim Buckley, his father died at 28... he was a pure talent like his son and probably even had the better voice. although, i prefer Jeff's albums. Tim's discography is very good by the way, so worth to check him out- SKA
