Swimming on a sea of faces Tide of the human races Oh, an answer now is what I need See it in the new sun rising See it breaking on your horizon Oh, come on love, stay with me Please, please, please!

He was seen traveling to Thailand last week. The way his family travels though, they could already be back in London by now.

I've a feeling it's going to be Will.

Well, reports are that he was ill prepared for the occasion. They had lyrics taped to the floor for him and he still couldn't follow.

With Atoms For Peace, Thom Yorke Becomes Aphex Twin’s Coldplay 02.19.13 Michael Tedder C hris Martin once told Newsweek Magazine that he has an unrequited love affair with Thom Yorke, a man who once dismissed Martin’s band Coldplay as lifestyle music. “I’m in love with a lot of things. Some of those things love me back. And some of them don’t — and one of them is Radiohead.” I am not in a position to say to what extent marrying a movie star, befriending Jay-Z and leading one of the most popular bands in the world can salve the sting of one of your heroes dismissing you, but I am in the position to say that Martin’s clear need to win the respect of Yorke (and to a lesser extent, Jon Pareles) ended up making his band a lot more interesting. You don’t write songs with elliptical titles like “Death And All His Friends” if you don’t have something to prove. Yorke has never weighed in on Coldplay‘s new direction, but he probably understands the impulse. Thom Yorke has his own Thom Yorke. His name is Richard D. James, better known as the pioneering musician Aphex Twin. Yorke has frequently called him his favorite musician on the planet, and recently told Dazed & Confused that “he burns a heavy shadow. Aphex Twin opened up another world that didn’t involve my fucking electric guitar.” But it turns that everybody is somebody’s lifestyle music; James has said of Radiohead: “I heard about five or six songs and considered them really crappy!” Yorke is not as revealing of an interview subject as Martin, so I don’t know how much the James snub bugs him. Regardless, he’s been a dutiful student of the serene and chaotic tracks that Aphex specialized in. As great as their sophomore album The Bends was, Radiohead truly caught fire when they started blending their anthemic, yearning songwriting with non-rock influences; the undulated, scrambled pulses of “Everything In Its Right Place” and the elegiac swirl of harmonies of “Let Down” were Radiohead showing the world how to incorporate DJ production techniques into guitar-rock without coming off like a nightmare from the Spawn soundtrack. And now with Amok, the debut album from his new project Atoms For Peace, Yorke has made his most pure mash note yet to the defiantly minimalist tracks that James and his peers in Matmos and Autechre perfected back when people still used the term Intelligent Dance Music. “It’s the type of album that at first provokes feelings of admiration more than love, at least at first.” Atoms For Peace started when Yorke recruited a backing band consisting of longtime Radiohead producer/multi-instrumentalist Nigel Godrich, Beck drummer Joey Waronker, percussionist Mauro Refosco and (to the surprise of many) Red Hot Chili Pepper bass-slapper Flea play his 2006 solo album The Eraser on tour. Pleased with how it came out, Yorke had the band record three days of jam sessions, which he and Godrich chopped up and tweaked around for two years between Radiohead projects. The result is a series of thick, rubbery grooves and deep-in-the-pocket fills torn apart and sewed together sideways, and then ladled with a series of sine waves and guitars treated to sound like dial-up laptops. Amok doesn’t really sound like the work of five musicians playing poly-rhythmic syncopations in a room, but there’s a give-and-take, a slow-rolling vibrancy feel here that’s missing from many modern clubland maestros. You can feel the pulsing heart, even if it’s surrounded by a deep chill. (It should also be noted that with the exception of “Stuck Together Pieces,” you wouldn’t be able to tell Flea was on this thing if you didn’t know it going in, which is probably to his credit.) As vocalist and arranger Yorke mostly pulls back, confident that the morse-code beats and arctic bass are all the hooks necessary for this thing to work. None of these songs go for the cleansing awe-climaxed that Radiohead have mastered, and the vocals are blended into the mix like one more wave of uncut sound. It’s the type of album that at first provokes feelings of admiration more than love, at least at first. But given enough time, details start pop out from the immaculate wash, such as the lightly plucked guitar and looped handclaps of “Judge, Jury And Executioner,” or the two-note Atari purr of “Ingenue.” And then the odd logic of these compositions makes sense, and everything snaps into its right place. Once you’ve spent time with Amok, “Before Your Very Eyes” becomes negative-image copy of Talking Heads’ “Born Under Punches,” and “Reverse Running” endlessly swirls and sighs. But most of this is not dance music qua dance music. Neither was most of what was regrettably titled IDM. At their best, James and his peers felt like they had found a way to reach their hands directly into your skull and lightly tap on your brain until you were suitably transfixed. Yorke might bring more firepower than his idols did, but the hypnotic bliss he achieves is ultimately as potent. He won’t be, but James should be proud of what he’s inspired. Amok is out February 26 via XL Recordings. http://www.mtvhive.com/2013/02/19/atoms-for-peace-amok/

I can't wait to see 33 Dias. I wonder if she'll speak in Spanish.

These 2 have my head spinning if this is true. Edit: totally misread that

Beyonce & Jay-Z Lovingly Sing Coldplay’s ‘Yellow’ To Each Other Beyonce & Jay-Z Lovingly Sing Coldplay’s ‘Yellow’ To Each Other Sun, February 17, 2013 9:24am EST by Christopher Rogers So cute! ‘Jay-Jay I Love you so,’ Beyonce sang in her documentary on Feb. 16. The loving couple serenade each other soon after finding out she’s pregnant. Beyonce’s documentary Life Is But A Dream aired on HBO on Feb. 16, following a one-hour interview with Oprah Winfrey on Oprah’s Next Chapter. The most touching moment in the film, for us, was when Beyonce and Jay-Z sang Coldplay’s “Yellow” to each other, written by their close friend Chris Martin. They were celebrating her pregnancy and it was so adorable. The documentary offered an inside look at the singer’s life and career — a side of her we’ve never seen before. The HBO film shows footage of a sonogram, Beyonce’s growing bump and video of the singer posing nude as she neared her due date. Beyonce, 31, also touches upon the miscarriage she suffered, which Jay-Z revealed in his song “Glory,” shortly after the birth of their daughter Blue Ivy. “It was the saddest thing I’ve ever been through. My life is a journey. … I had to go through my miscarriage, I believe I had to go through owning my company and managing myself … ultimately your independence comes from knowing who you are and you being happy with yourself,” she said. No wonder, Beyonce and Jay-Z were so overjoyed when they conceived Blue Ivy. Singing the Coldplay song only seems fitting. And there’s no doubt that the duo is madly in love with each other. Watch below! (They sing Coldplay’s “Yellow” around the 1:07:00 mark.) http://hollywoodlife.com/2013/02/17/beyonce-jay-z-coldplay-yellow-video-life-is-but-a-dream-documentary/

Yup.

Last I heard, she wanted to be a performer like Beyonce or a baker. Perhaps she can do both:laugh3:

In fact, some would argue that piano isn't acoustic at all:D I'm weird my best version is at KROQ House of Blues in 2003 when Jonny forgot to turn on his guitar. I loved that kind of mellow sound without the lead guitar very much.

Sad situation all over. I'm still hoping it was an accident.

Not the best dress she's ever worn. I think she says she's saved it for Apple who actually loves it. We shall see how Apple looks in it in a few yrs, perhaps with some alterations.

Bury me in honor

Yeah! Now I remember it was the Viva La Vida interview with Dermott O'Leary. It was such a fun interview.

The Scientist

24 miles! I've wondered if he's ever done it again?

When you feel so guilty for listening to We Are Young on repeat.
