For the casual fan seeing Coldplay live for the first time since the band performed at the Paradise in Boston many years ago, last night's triumphant two-hour performance at the Comcast Center was like seeing your younger family members for the first time in years.

Opinion: ...in which McNutt recaps the 2009 Osheaga Festival with Coldplay, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and more

07 Aug 2009 03:41:45 PDT

Written by McNutt
Coldplay I don’t think Chris Martin ever saw a Bono stage move he didn’t like. That’s not a bad thing, actually – Coldplay’s most endearing attribute, in my books, is their almost shameless desire to be a big, important band and to push their sound – and their show – into the stratosphere. Whil...

Coldplay played pretty much every song from Viva La Vida, such as the title track, “Violet Hill,” “Strawberry Swing,” “Lost,” and “Death and All His Friends” plus all of their old great songs such as “The Scientist” (they did that song as an encore) a remix of “God Put a Smile on Your Face” th...

and then there was Coldplay. They played a good two hour set and blew us all away. The show was nothing but creative and entertaining. They took songs from there previous albums and brought new twists and turns and rocked out hard on there newest songs.

And only a couple of years ago, Chris Martin was a poodle-haired rock God who’d even managed to snare his own Hollywood wife. In more recent snaps, it looks like he’s heading down the same extra-from-The-Matrix road as Satriani. Bonus track. Here’s the bleepy, slightly ambient wahp remix o...

Jay-Z x Coldplay x Mick Boogie x Terry Urban - Viva La Hova (Review)

17 Nov 2008 12:38:02 PST

Written by Carsten
“Beach Chair” seems to be the inspiration for the new Mick Boogie (Commissioner!) and Terry Urban mixtape, Viva La Hova. To carry on the grand tradition of putting Jay-Z’s lyrics to someone else’s beats, Viva puts Jay’s hot lines over Coldplay’s drums, guitars and vocals. Now, if you’re like me and don’t know a damn thing about Coldplay and prefer Chris E. Martin over Chris Martin, please check your apprehension at the door, because this is quite the worthy effort. Boogie and Urban gather up-and-comers (Remot, nVMe) and established vets (9th Wonder, and Cookin’ Soul) to hit the boards and merge Jay-Z and Coldplay into one cohesive sound. The result is one of the best Jay-Z remixes to hit our iPods since The Grey Album.
