:: Jay-Z and Coldplay 's Chris Martin wouldn't exactly be buddies back in the day, before they were sipping Cristal in fancy night clubs and knocking up actresses. :: For some reason, Beatles fans care about whether Ringo Starr's c hildhood home gets torn down . Me? I'm campaigning to get it demolished, alongside Starr's adult home. Not because of the music.

They may be the best of friends now, but Jay-Z believes things would have been different if he'd met Coldplay 's Chris Martin when they were teenagers. The rap mogul says it would have been a different story if the two had met when in their formative years. "That's a different scenario. He couldn't walk through Marcy [a housing project in Brooklyn, N.Y.]. I was a different person then. I wasn't open to the world and to cultures. I would have been, 'Yo! Who are you? Give me your money', the [...]

Let me keep this plain and simple, this is one of the best albums, mixtapes, whatever you want to call it, that I have ever listened to, and not enough people have listened to it. I remember senior year having my boy MG burn it for me, and it played in my car for the rest of the year. I literally didn't hit eject once. That's how good it is. Jay-Z and Coldplay mixed together through the entire thing. Unreal. mp3: Jay-Z x Coldplay x Cookin' Soul - The Reverse Fix [...]

Die zehn erfolgreichsten Bands und Künstler der letzten zwölf Monate haben insgesamt über 700 Millionen Dollar netto eingespielt. Drei der vier Topverdiener sind Pop-Veteranen, die jüngste in den Top10 ist 24 Jahre alt. Gemäss der aktuellsten Liste des amerikanischen Wirtschaftsmagazins Forbes kommen die irischen Pop-Giganten U2 auf ein nettes Netto-Sümmchen von 130 Millionen Dollar von Juni 2009 bis Juni 2010. Zumindest finanziell ist von abdanken keine Rede. Die zweite Band, die die hundert Millionen Grenze geknackt hat, ist AC/DC. Es fällt auf, [...]

I've decided to spice up the way we do business around here by adding a little "Best of the Month" feature. This is for all of the amateurs who don't check the site on a daily basis, and want a quick breakdown of the top tracks of the past few weeks. Thus, I have created a method with which you can cherry pick my favorite tracks of the month by simply viewing one post. Mind boggling right? I've included a mixed and mastered continuous stream of the top tracks of the month, just in case you wanted to [...]

Kool and the Gang Now this here is real old school. When Kool and the Gang is mentioned, you probably think of disco. I love disco, but "Summer Madness" is not disco. It's early Kool and it is a sick sick song. The kind of song that makes you go "ohhh...now I see why Kool got so famous." So, if you love music, if you love summer, if you love madness, if you love passion, if you love people doing what they were meant to do, then hear this . [...]
We're pretty much half way through 2010, which is pretty unbelievable. To celebrate the occasion, I thought I'd round up my top six mashups of the year. Like one a month, except I can't guarantee when exactly in the year they were made. What I do know however is that they have been produced in 2010. To set the ball rolling I'm going to include the track which inspired me to right this post. Chi Duly has just dropped his latest project Octobers Very Cold , which mashes Coldplay & Drake. The standout track is The Fly [...]

I've never been the biggest fan of coldplay, and I'm still not, but I love them on this album. Mick Boogie and Terry Urban came together to make one of the sickest mashup albums I've ever came across. Props to my friend Austen for showing me this when it came out over a year ago. They take Coldplay and Jay-Z and mash them for a perfect blend of chill beats and sick Jay-Z rapping. This album is in my regular rotation of music to listen to, so deciding which single tracks to post was pretty hard, [...]

Lineup announcements for the 2010's Coachella, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza and Bumbershoot festivals have come and gone, but we've only got radio silence from the All Points West camp. The three-day fest in Liberty State Park, New Jersey, was founded two years ago by AEG Live, promoters of the California-based Coachella in an attempt to nail down the elusive New York City festival market. Unfortunately, when you have an outdoor concert featuring only a handful of the gajillion amazing artists who play in New York every year and then add a sl0w-moving ferry, New Jersey, and New Jersey's [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News Don't count on a third annual All Points West festival this summer. While the 2009 event, which counted Jay-Z , Tool and Coldplay as headliners, seemed like a success despite the heavy rains, executives at AEG Live have told the New York Times that they still haven't decided on whether the event will return to New Jersey's Liberty State Park in Jersey City. "There is no question that our biggest challenge is finding [...]

The live performance compilation, taken from last week's 'Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief' telethon, is expected to sell more than 150,000 downloads, making it the first digital-only album to top the U.S. albums chart since its inception nearly 54 years ago.

Ce la stanno mettendo tutta per dare una mano e sensibilizzare anche il mondo della musica. Tra concerti di beneficenza e brani scritti per l'occasione , tutti i più grandi -e generosi- musicisti si stanno attivando per contribuire agli aiuti necessari dopo il tremendo terremoto che ha colpito Haiti. Uno dei modi più immediati per raccogliere fondi è quello delle aste. Facendo leva sul collezionismo e sulla devozione dei fan, mettere in vendita uno strumento garantisce un ricavo notevole e rapido che può essere immediatamente devoluto per la causa. Hanno iniziato i Mogwai con il [...]

Ve ne abbiamo parlato proprio ieri in occasione dell' annuncio del probabile duetto tra Lady GaGa e Susan Boyle : il prossimo 16 febbraio verranno proclamati i Brit Awards , uno dei premi europei più prestigiosi. La manifestazione, che si svolgerà al Earls Court Arena di Londra, compie trent'anni e festeggia con un cast stellare e una serie di esibizioni live che promettono di lasciare gli spettatori letteralmente stupefatti. Tra gli altri, un premio già assegnato è quello che verrà tributato a Robbie Williams come 'Outstanding Contribution'. La caratteristica che [...]

Filed under: The Hit List If the album died an unceremonious death at the hands of the MP3 in the 2000s, someone forgot to tell these people. Committed artists old and new, and a few somewhere in between, recorded thoroughly satisfying full-length collections of songs in the past decade, many of them thematically linked from beginning to end. What a concept. 50. 'O,' Damien Rice (2002) [...]
