Did you know Coldplay's Mylo Xyloto came out this week? The band played Letterman and Colbert and Today and Jools and Ellen and we threw a party in their honor. The launch celebration continues tonight in a Anton Corbijn-directed Vevo webcast from Madrid's Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas beginning at 4PM EST. Since the anticipation is killing us, we thought now would be a good time to compile ten of the most relistenable versions of the band's sentimental megahits, of which there have been [...]
Joe writes: This U2 cover is the track that got me in to Scala and Kolacny Brothers. I believe Rob da Bank played it on Radio 1. Some time later their version of Creep was featured on the trailer to The Social Network. For me With Or Without You is even better than Creep so I was pleased to hear it featured on the trailer for the new series of Downton Abbey.

Scala & Kolacny Brothers takes classic favorites, rearranges the songs, then adds a female choirs' touch and accompaniment by usually a piano. Their popularity soared with their deconstruction of Radiohead's Creep for The Social Network soundtrack. Their newest self-titled album (March 15, 2011) covers every spectrum with covers of Metallica, Alanis Morisette, U2 and Nirvana. Watch S&KB's somewhat disturbing new video interpretation for the Kings of Leon song "Use Somebody." Without giving the ending away, it is hard to say what you or your spouse would and would not do in certain circumstances if diagnosed with a debilitating disease. [...]

De afgelopen weken ben ik in mijn vrije tijd druk geweest met het schieten van een korte film, in het kader van de Done In Sixty Seconds wedstrijd waar ik het eerder al over heb gehad. Twee weken geleden hebben we de opnames gedaan, vorige week de eerste montage en afgelopen zaterdag de tweede. Hij is nu helemaal teruggebracht naar 1 minuut en het resultaat mag er zijn. Omdat we zoveel materiaal hadden, hebben we ook een Trailer voor de film gemaakt (die dus langer duurt dan het uiteindelijke resultaat ). Hierbij hebben we [...]
I stumbled upon Belgian rock choir Scala & Kolacny Brothers several months back thanks to their courageous spin on KOL's Use Somebody , and I gotta tell you, I'm still surprised by how often I reach for their most recent European release, Circles . Apparently, Circles will be self-titled and bolstered with a handful of originals when it is finally approved for U.S. ears on March 15th, but the bigger news is that the whole mob will be making their [...]
