Coldplay touring US starting in May

Paul — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 17:53:05 +0000

Kicking off their tour on May 17th in Atlanta, GA, Coldplay will be playing 16 US dates. Will they be playing in your town? The British formed band will than head for Canada for a few dates. On April Fools Coldplay came out with a statement on their site saying that they plan to record their next album not in a traditional studio, but on a modified Boeing 727 aircraft, in zero gravity.

“Later this year, the band will board a modified Boeing, which can provide zero gravity for periods of 20-25 seconds at a time,” a statement on the site read. “Wearing self-designed outfits based on early Russian cosmonaut suits, they will be joined by producer/collaborator Brian Eno, who will use custom-made ‘heavy’ microphones to record the sessions on a 1969 analogue cassette player.”

“We’ve been searching for the right environment to record the perfect snare drum sound for many years now,” Chris Martin added, “and I’ve just got a gut feeling that zero gravity is the place to do that, y’know?”

Meaning of the song “Let It Rock” by Kevin Rudolf, Ft. Lil Wayne.

Paul — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 21:35:33 +0000

In the first verse of this song Kevin Rudolf is talking about someone who is very close to him that betrayed him very deeply. They clearly “Live a lie” in his eyes and he makes it clear that he wants nothing to do with this kind of lifestyle. The chorus of this song is basically saying, it doesn’t matter, and that he(Kevin) is still the best because he is living his own life and not someone else. All signs point to the second verse is actually about Kevin in his personal life / relationship with his father and career. The second pre-chorus is about people (like the person who betrayed him in verse one) who are standing around in line and letting their life be dictated to them, instead of taking what they want. “I got mine”. Lil Waynes parts are about himself and his ability to get any girl he wants… and buy them any thing they want, nothing too new there. The last lines of this song relate directly to the person Kevin is talking about in the first verse:

“I wish I could be As cool as you
And I wish I could say
The things you do
But I can’t and I won’t live a lie
No not this time”

Stay tuned for more meaning of the song posts.
