Renee Stahl and Jeremy Toback, collectively known as RENEE & JEREMY , will release their new album of family-friendly cover songs on May 8th. Of the tracks featured on A LITTLE LOVE , the first to get the video treatment is a rendition of the COLDPLAY classic ''Yellow.'' I've got the video embedded for your viewing enjoyment below, but damn if it didn't bring a tear to my eye in it's depection of parenthood - ending with the little bird leaving the nest, flying off toward those yellow stars. With a two-and-a-half year old here and another on the way, I ...

Coldplay have rediscovered a love for playing their classic single 'Yellow'.

Parachutes, X&Y;, Mylo Xyloto ... which of the band's studio albums is their best? We want to know what you think With their mild-mannered image and uncomplicated approach to piano-led alternative rock , Coldplay were perhaps unlikely candidates for elevation to multi-award-winning, multi-million-selling stadium rock behemoth status. And yet, five albums in to their career, they command huge audiences around the world and are regularly listed among music's highest earners. But which Coldplay album is the best? Is it debut Parachutes, which produced breakthrough hit Yellow? The Grammy-winning A Rush of Blood to the Head? Eno-produced Viva la Vida? Scrabble ...

These folks alerted me to Azad Right’s solid hip-hop tune “Spiderwebs,” which gets points for sampling Coldplay and making it work. (This song’s sample is from “Trouble.”) For the most part, I steer clear of such creations because of a generally blah impression of everything that band has released after the excellent “Yellow.” It got me [...]

A new charity compilation featuring unreleased tracks by U2, Coldplay and Beck has been unveiled. Every Mother Counts Volume 2 features an acoustic version of Coldplay's 'Yellow', U2's Bono and the Edge's acoustic cut of 'Original Of The Species,' and Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder's 'Skipping'. Beck's 'Corrina, Corrina' and tracks by David Bowie, Sting and Lauryn Hill are also included on the compilation which will be released on May 1. Tracklist: U2's Bono And The Edge - 'Original Of The Species' Eddie Vedder - 'Skipping' Paul Simon And Edie Brickell - 'Pretty Day' Faith Hill - 'Wish ...

Every Mother Counts, an advocacy and awareness campaign headed by model-turned-activist Christy Turlington Burns to increase education and support for maternal and child health, is slated to release its second charity compilation album May 1, and as Antiquiet points out, its track list is not to be messed with. Thirteen of the 19 songs are unreleased tunes from artists like Patti Smith, Coldplay, Eddie Vedder, Cedella Marley, and Beck. The ones that have already been heard are just as good, though, with contributions from David Bowie, Sade and Lauryn Hill. It's going to be released via Starbucks, to make ...

The 54th Annual Grammy Awards are almost upon us! Hey, we'd love to help you with your office pools and living room side-bets with some sure-thing Vegas-ready odds. However, we always seem to be dead wrong (fucking Esperanza Spalding). So here are some completely arbitrary, critical decisions on who should win the nine biggest categories, just in case you want to know who we're rooting for on the SPIN couch. Everything You Need to Know About the 54th Grammy Awards Nominations Record of the Year Adele - "Rolling in the Deep" Bon Iver - "Holocene" Bruno Mars - "Grenade" Mumford & Sons - "The Cave" Perry">Katy Perry - "Firework" Who Should Win: Adele Why: This one goes to the producers, engineers, and performer for making the total pop package. Bon Iver and Mumford are a little to insular, Bruno and Katy a little too eager. Adele somehow lives right in between, both muted and bombastic, rockist-pleasing "authentic" and poptimist-pleasing immediate. It’s the "Heart Shaped Box" of a new generation. We had it all! Album of the Year Adele - 21 Foo Fighters - Wasting Light Lady Gaga - Born This Way Bruno Mars - Doo-Wops & Hooligans Rihanna - Loud Who Should Win: Lady Gaga Why: It did rank the highest of these five albums on our Top 50 Albums of 2011 list , and we can’t exactly give the award to Fucked Up, can we? Writes our own Mikael Wood: "Beneath the hair and makeup and arena-razing disco-metal grooves, Born This Way delivers a message that old glamazon Pete Seeger could dig: She thinks pop can still move policy, and she might be right." Song of the Year Kanye West - “All of the Lights” (songwriters: Kanye West, Jeff Bhasker, Really Doe, & Malik Yusef) Mumford & Sons - “The Cave” (songwriters: Ted Dwane, Ben Lovett, Marcus Mumford & Country Winston) Bruno Mars - “Grenade” (songwriters: Brody Brown, Claude Kelly, The Smeezingtons & Andrew Wyatt) Bon Iver - “Holocene” (songwriter: Justin Vernon) Adele - "Rolling in the Deep" (songwriters: Adele & Paul Epworth) Who Should Win: Adele Why: This one goes to the songwriter, and naturally we'd want to give it to the co-writer of our No. 1 single of 2011 , a blown-out blowback of relationship bluster and that high D that can drown out car alarms. Best New Artist The Band Perry Bon Iver J. Cole Nicki Minaj Skrillex Who Should Win: Skrillex Why: Before you Bon Iver fans tear us limb from limb in the comments section, let us clarify. Although we clearly love Bon Iver's extra-naked, sensitive, '80s AM gold take on folk rock, our guyliner-and-glasses pal is essentially helping reinvent a new musical language of bowel-busting bass and whirring industrial noise. Bon Iver's forbear Bruce Hornsby already won this very award in 1987, while an electronic artist has never taken one home. Let's hear it for drawing new blood. Best Rock Album Jeff Beck - Rock ‘n’ Roll Party (Honoring Les Paul) Foo Fighters - Wasting Light Kings of Leon - Come Around Sundown Red Hot Chili Peppers - I’m With You Wilco - The Whole Love Who Should Win: Foo Fighters Why: Because exactly one album on this list actually "rocks." Best R&B; Album ...

Once again, the networks will be broadcasting their typical New Year’s Eve fare—movie marathons, cooking show marathons and, of course, Times Square marathons (including the we’re-still-so-cool-we-can-leave-off-the-G Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve). But, thanks to PBS, there’s now a welcome option. For the first time in its 36-year history, Austin City Limits hosts a New Year’s Eve concert, with Coldplay being the one and only performers during the 90-minute special. The band gives its usual soaring and convincingly earnest performance with Chris Martin singing his little angst-filled heart out on songs like “Yellow ...

In anticipation of the annual year-end review, here is a collection of several favorite overlooked songs that were not included in last year's list . This is a recognition of some tracks released in 2010 that either got a raw deal last December or simply weren't discovered until after the calendar changed... Crystal Castles feat. Robert Smith "Not in Love" Crystal Castles has the habit of bringing in outside influence to create a masterpiece (see "Crimewave"). For their single release of Platinum Blonde's "Not in Love," they employed The Cure's Robert Smith to turn an adequate cover ...

L.A. native JoiStaRR (formerly back up singer to Kanye West) is back with another cover track. Earlier on this year she covered Coldplay's "Yellow". This time its a cover of OFWGKTA crooner Ocean">Frank Ocean's "Thinking Bout You". JoiStaRR's vocals over this is, quite simply, beautiful. Since I first heard it, it has been on repeat. [...]

It's going to be hard throwing a swanky awards bash in this economic climate. The temptation to be showy and flash must be avoided at all costs, while still keeping a sense of dignity. How are the Grammy organisers going with that? Oh, yes. That ugly wrist choker is the official Grammy "timepiece" (implying there's no Grammy cuckoo clock this year) and comes in at just $1,395. As ever, here's the full list of nominations; leap over to get to the chattery bit 1. Record Of The Year Rolling In The Deep Adele Paul Epworth, producer ...

The GRAMMY award nominations list has been revealed, and it's exactly what you'd expect, with Adele/Bon Iver/Kanye West all featuring heavily. The surprising thing about the list, apart from Mumford & Sons getting nominated for a couple of awards, is the lack of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy on the Album Of The Year list. The full list can be seen here , though we've listed the main awards below. Album Of The Year 21 – Adele Wasting Light – Foo Fighters Born This Way – Lady Gaga Doo-Wops & Hooligans – Bruno Mars Loud – Rihanna Record Of The Year Rolling In ...

It’s hard to believe that twelve years ago (that’s right, twelve years ago) Coldplay’s breakthrough single ‘Yellow’ was released. Four albums and over fifty million album sales later, we have their fifth record Mylo Xyloto. The arrival of...
