1911 Beta

Listening right now to Coldplay's new album.

Loving it so far. Anyone else?

ive really liked it as well. definitely a step in a different direction for coldplay. i feel like alot of the electronic aspects fit well with their style

Obama likes it.

I watched their concert here at Rock In Rio and it was good. Well at least their old songs were good. But since that crap X&Y album I don't pretty much like Coldplay anymore - I rather prefer spending my team listening to either At the drive in or Muse.

rofl coldplay isn't even on the same planet as muse. i get why some people (with vaginas over the age of 40) like coldplay, but i'll never understand how they ended up getting play on alt rock stations.

Neither of which are located on the planet known as "Good Music" in the galaxy of "Songs that don't sound like horse piss."

Am I doing this right?

1911 is so good for gifs and jpgs

I like when the singer admitted that the lyrics were crap. Shitty lyrics pasted over the same song 12 times? Sign me up!

I think you got lost somewhere between birth and defining good music in your head. You should probably schedule an appointment with a psychiatrist immediately. Drugs will be necessary.

Don't spend your time with someone who pretty much like fake-underground-garage bands. Alex is the epitome of a hipster. Where's that hipster definition .jpg, Swiss?

If Muse is supposed to be considered good music and a band that is far beyond the creative ability of Coldplay, then I believe I'm too far gone from the definition of "good music." Both just sound like...any other band you might hear on the radio. Nothing special.

I look nothing like that -_-

The only Coldplay Alex likes is the Bob Dylan/Colin Meloy bluegrass Appalachian indie-folk cover album they did as a joke for a charity benefiting the musically oblivious.

So not a hipster though.

You leave Meloy out of this you sassy cunt.

As Meloy would say, cheerio mate.

It sounds like you've heard starlight and nothing else by them.

I enjoy Coldplay thoroughly. I find that they stay ever so current with each album they produce.

On another note, last night I saw Mumford & Song @ the Air Canada Centre and it was amazing. They were unbelievable live and the crowd presence was phenomenal! The ACC was sold out and the band said this was their biggest venue to date x2 of their previous large audience. Would recommend seeing them! Very humble individuals as well.

I think they are huge in Canada due to the fact that Great Big Sea was extremely popular. Sound similar to them.

Exactly. Real men hears Citizen erased, Space dementia, Muscle museum and Stochholm syndrome.

Give me their three best songs.

Jelly I've seen them twice, Ben?

sometimes i think im the only person that dislikes this kind of music these days. i guess im still permanently stuck in the 70s/80s/90s for music.

Muse, blehhh. However, they did work really well in the Twilight soundtrack.

Conveniently skipped the 50s and 60s? Srs?

Jesus, sorry...

New Born is probably their best song. Plug-in baby is probably my favorite song after that. Depends on really what kind of music you like. Stockholm Syndrome is pretty sick. Hysteria is good. Bliss. Just listing ones that you probably haven't heard on the radio like the stuff off resistance, knights of cydonia, supermassive blackhole, etc. Cassino mentioned a few that aren't really on my playlist, but are good. I think muscle museum is great but I just don't happen to own it. They have a pretty large discography and if you listen to it you'll find diverse styles including pretty hard rock, electronica-type stuff, acoustic, and pop rock songs.

In Alex's defense, objectively identifying mediocre music doesn't make you a hipster.








It makes you civilized. Let's go Alex, there's a tapas and Pabst Blue Ribbon tasting event nearby that's also hosting Nickelback karaoke.

dear god, nickleback. all you have to do rob is go eat at cafe brazil on greenville (not super hipster but a step in the right direction) (btw i go there just for their queso). and alex, you would feel at home in austin

Are tapas a hipster thing? I don't like beer, bro you should know this.

The problem with Austin is the heat. Too hot. I would like more nature, too, which I feel Austin doesn't provide so much.

i can see the heat....but not the nature park. in the hill country, probably the nicest area of texas. austin is the epitome of an outdoors city. apparently youve been ignorant of this

I'm talking about mountains I can bike through, or some real deal hiking (not walking on a dumb path).

Swiss, I said Nickelback karaoke because Nickelback karaoke could ONLY be done ironically after a lot of drinking

And tapas is a Spanish food service/cuisine that I is apparently super trendy nowadays.

And the only reason I said PBR was because when I got to your apartment that one day there were like a billion PBR cans on your back porch =P

Damnit I'm horrible at this.

Yeah, who do you think drank all that PBR? Oh yeah, my gay hipster roommate and his gay hipster friends.

I say gay because, well, he is literally gay (as Rob is well aware of). Not gay in a negative way. Obviously. Dude's a true bro.

Indeed he is, except when he saw that centipede. Practically threw me at the thing just so he could save his own skin.

It's every man for himself, bro. I forgot about that, lol. I just remember both of you freaking the fuck out by the dishwasher.

tapas are really good but fucking expensive....
