Coldplay - Coldplay Split Up, Often

Coldplay have revealed that they have broken up on more than half a dozen occasions.

When the British rock group �" frontman Chris Martin, guitarist Jonny Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman and drummer Will Champion - perform badly they often argue and threaten to go their separate ways, but always end up apologising to each other.

Chris said: “We have split up on this tour. Every time we do, we get back together about 20 minutes later �" we don’t even have time to announce it!

“Each time we say, ‘This is it! This is the last show!’ But then you have a fun...

My Morning Jacket - My Morning Jacket Ring In 2009 At MSG

It's a new year, we're glad to be here ... hopefully your hangover has subsided by now. I've seen some memorable NYE shows in NYC in recent years -- the Strokes/GBV, DB-T, CYHSY, Dirty Projectors -- but I don't remember any as fun as this Jacket show sounds (well, maybe the Strokes). Celebrating at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night, Jim James and Co. brought Nicole Atkins, Will Johnson, a horn section, and white tuxes to change into before the ball dropped. Their marathon set featured ten covers, including a final encore of "Auld Lang Syne" and two Kool &...

Heart - New Fever Ray (The Knife's Karin Dreijer) Video - If I Had a Heart

Regular Knife visual collaborator Andreas Nilsson offers an eerie video for "If I Had A Heart," the dark, pulsing, ambient first single from Karin Dreijer's new project, Fever Ray. It's pretty great -- a couple of kids carry a torch and take a boat down the River Styx toward a spooky mansion housing a victim of foul play in a red dress and Dreijer in her skeletal face paint -- but nothing will ever top the quietly anthemic "Pass This On" clip. Then again, this track is more Svarte Greiner than "Heartbeats," so the bleakness is more...

Bruce Springsteen - New Bruce Springsteen video: ‘Life Itself’

With only a few weeks before the new Bruce Springsteen album, “Working on a Dream,” comes out, spirits are getting pretty restless. Anxious, if you will. The whole tension has been building up since the first video, Lucky Day, popped out - a motivation anthem, packed with hope and messages of change.

Bruce’s latest video, however, for the “Life Itself” is quite different, although the setting is kinda the same - Bruce and the guys, playing in a studio, with footage of trees, people and various stuff here and there. It’s darker, more nostalgic, but no way depressing. You...

Grateful Dead - The Grateful Dead to tour in 2009 - with a minor name change

Never ones to let the death of legendary frontman Jerry Garcia get in the way of a good tour, the surviving members of The Grateful Dead are to reunite for a 19 city tour. The tour will kick off on 12 April 2009 in Greensboro.

The group is now going by the slightly shorter name, the Dead, presumably out of respect for their deceased bandmate.

The tour has come about in the wake of the band playing at a benefit for Barrack Obama in Pennsylvania last October. Apparently the remaining members of the band managed to resolve their differences for that...

Wilco - Live Wilco DVD to Precede New Album, Proceeds to Benefit Tweedy Family College Fund

Live Wilco DVD to Precede New Album, Proceeds to Benefit Tweedy Family College Fund

In these tough economic times, you’ve got to look for those ever-elusive alternate streams of income. Especially when you’ve got a family to support. Just ask the coolest Dads on the planet: Jeff Tweedy and co. Do you think that they’re just sitting around and resigning themselves to the fact that, you know, Spencer Tweedy isn’t going to be able to go to a good University?

First on the docket is a lovely and long-due Wilco concert DVD, titled Ashes of American Flags, which chronicles...

Eagles - Billboard Top 25 Country Music Albums for 2008

Rock supergroup the Eagles, Led Zeppelin founder Robert Plant, and reggae legends The Wailers all played a role in Billboard's 2008 list of top-selling country albums

The Eagles captured the #1 spot on Billboard’s 2008 country music album chart with Long Road Out of Eden, their first new studio album in nearly 30 years and most likely their last, according to Eagle Don Henley. Taylor Swift’s self-titled debut album, Taylor Swift, took second place and helped her rocket to stardom in both the country and pop markets.

Many country fans were surprised to see the Eagles take the top spot on...

The Beatles - The Beatles’ Catalog Finally Goes Digital Thanks To Norwegian Podcasts

The Beatles will reportedly make a bulk of their musical catalog available as a free, legal download thanks to a series of Norwegian podcasts. In 2001, the Fab Four were the subject of a documentary series entitled “Vår daglige Beatles,” or “Our Daily Beatles,” in which Norwegian journalists told the stories behind every track in the Beatles official catalog in chronological order, with the tracks themselves being played after the story was told. Now, for the first time ever, the series is available as a downloadable podcast, marking the first time the Beatles music in any...

James Taylor - Music Review: James Taylor - One Man Band

» Music Review: Colour Kane -A Taste Of

» Music Review: FLO - Romance, Chill, and Standards

In the last few years, I’ve had the great privilege of getting to know and befriending some amazing musicians. As such I have found myself frequently going to small clubs and coffee shops to watch bare bones artists perfect and share their talents and artistry with those of us lucky enough to be present. It is from these great and brave souls that I have learned so much about music and poetry and the talent, skill, and intensely hard work that goes into...

Led Zeppelin - Robert Plant Named As ‘Greatest Voice In Rock’ - So Rejoin Led Zeppelin Already!

Robert Plant is/was the blueprint for every rock singer that has come since. His style of singing while with Led Zeppelin has inspired generations of vocalists. So it’s fitting that Plant has topped a poll to find the ‘Greatest Voice In Rock’.

The survey was undertaken by Planet Rock and the top 20 list has some fine vocalists on it. Plant beat Freddie Mercury to the top spot, although I’m sure some people would have liked to have seen the Queen front man at number one.

I personally wouldn’t have had Bono, Jon Bon Jovi, or Peter Gabriel in the...
