Coldplay serve up a taste of new video for "Violet Hill"

Lots of "teasing" and sampling going on these days in music. Chris Martin and his Coldplay crew released a tiny "portion" of their new video for their single Violet Hill today. 

We are really loving the new track and from the looks of it, the video will be a nice visual accompaniment.The full version is set to premiere this coming Monday, May 19th.  Coldplay's new album Viva la Vida or Death is due June 17th. 

See all 36 seconds of the "glimpse" below -

The Cure release new video for "The Only One"

The Cure just released a video for their new single The Only One. 

Is Robert Smith EVER going to cut that hair?  Not our favorite Cure track by any means but a nice change from what they have been releasing in more recent years.  Nothing will ever be like the "classic" days of course.

The Music "Strength In Numbers" video, free remix download

The Music just released a video for their current single Strength In Numbers.  The track is taken from their upcoming album of the same name.  We had to do a few double takes to make sure it was actually Robert Harvey still fronting the band.  He looks like a completely different guy with the shaved head!

Ratatat release new 7" single

It makes us extremely happy to report on any and all new vinyl news and there has been a lot lately.  Vinyl is our listening format of choice, there is nothing like it.  It also brings us great pleasure to know that we can add a new 7" to our vinyl collection from Ratatat.  The NYC duo just released a vinyl only 7" for the track Shiller complete with a b-side titled Mahalo.  Both tracks appear to be from the upcoming album LP3 due July 8th.

No CD single, no digital, just insanely beautiful vinyl!  Thanks guys. 

Buy your very own copy over at Beggars Group USA. 

The Cure tease with audio of new single "The Only One"

The Cure are giving fans a little teaser of their new single The Only One on their official website.  As the track was looping in the background we almost thought we were listening to Friday I'm In Love? 

The Cure plan to release a new single on the 13th of every month leading up to the release of their upcoming 13th studio album on September 13th.   

The singles will be available digitally and in-store, the old fashioned way - on CD! 

All singles will carry an a-side single and a proper b-side track. 

The Only One will contain the b-side NY Trip. 

Random video of the week #9 - Lou Gramm "Lost In The Shadows (The Lost Boys)"

The Lost Boys is hands down one of the coolest movies from the 80's.  It lives on as a huge cult classic.  It also spawned one our favorite soundtracks off all time. 

The highlights? Echo And The Bunneymen covering The Doors with People Are Strange, INXS joining forces with fellow Aussie Jimmy Barnes on two tracks, Tim Capello's Conan The Barbarian inspired on-camera rendition of The Call's I Still Believe and Foreigner's front man Lou Gramm going it solo for Lost In The Shadows (The Lost Boys). 

Gramm joins a bunch of vamped out hooligans in the back of a truck for the video interspersed with scenes from the film. Yes the video is extremely dated which is all part of the charm.

Dave Gahan celebrates another year

Mr. Gahan celebrates another year today as he turns 46th.
