My favorite rock band, Coldplay, shares this first track – “Adventures of a Lifetime” – from the upcoming album A Head Full of Dreams (due out 12/4/15).
I like.
I hadn’t expected Coldplay to play around with disco grooves, but it works for me. Chris Martin’s vocals mix right into the feel-good buoyancy of the EDM kick-ball-change.
“I feel my heart beating/ I feel my heart underneath my skin/ I feel my heart beating/ Oh, you make me feel/ Like I’m alive again,” Chris Martin sings on the song.
Seven foot tall clown, Puddles Pity Party, joins Postmodern Jukebox for a second tune after rocking the internet with their first collaboration – a cover of Lorde’s “Royals” – which to date has over 14 million views.
Puddles is back with a “Sad Clown” cover of “Viva La Vida” from (my fave rock band) Coldplay.
Clip description:
Two years ago on Halloween, a very tall, golden-voiced sad clown named Puddles made his video debut with PMJ; since then, he’s become a pop culture phenomenon, touring the world and contemplating the human experience. Here he is, returning to where it all began to reflect on this journey with a cover of Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida.”

| Chris Martin of Coldplay hits the stage in Las Vegas |
Las Vegas is all about the 2014 IHeartRadio Festival taking place last night and tonight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
As most know, this is one of the biggest music events of the year – in great part because the line up of artists is as diverse as you can get.
Last night saw Taylor Swift open the show with five songs, including her current radio hit “Shake It Off.” Swift was followed by MY favorite band, Coldplay, who rocked the house with five of their best, closing with the current “Sky Full of Stars.”
Then came Nicki Minaj, Motley Crue, Usher and Ariana Grande.
Tonight’s line up will see One Direction, Calvin Harris, 50 Cent and Lorde take the stage.
One of the best things about the Festival, in addition to the diverse line up, is that each act only does a few numbers. So, if you’re ADD like me, just wait a few minutes for the next act if the current music isn’t your thing.
I didn’t attend in person because I wasn’t feeling up to being in a crowd of 20K last night.
BUT – we all can watch LIVE from the comfort of our homes on Yahoo Screen Live, which is where I was last night bouncing to the beat with Coldplay with Bruno the wonder dog.
If you missed last night, take a second to hit the link for Yahoo and enjoy the music.
Check a few pictures from Coldplay’s set last night.
Happy Saturday, kids!

“True Love” is the third single from Coldplay’s latest album GHOST STORIES. Sweet video.
From Rolling Stone:
Frontman Chris Martin and actress Jessica Lucas (Evil Dead, Cloverfield) star as sumo-suited “big” ballerinas in the video for Coldplay’s third Ghost Stories single, “True Love.” The message for the clip, as displayed at the end, is “anything is possible,” and in the case of the clip – directed by Jonas Åkerlund (Madonna, the Rolling Stones, Coldplay’s “Magic”) – the thing that is seemingly impossible is the couple being taken seriously as dancers and people, as they each face various humiliations including getting turned away by a bus driver, getting ignored as a street performer and being mocked at a casting call. But as is always the case, at least in Coldplay videos, things work out for the star-crossed lovers.
Loving the new Coldplay CD “Ghost Stories.”
Check out the newly released official music video for the second single from the CD, “A Sky Full of Stars.”
Available now on iTunes and all digital music sellers.
New track from the legendary electronic artist Giorgio Moroder, a remixed version of Coldplay’s song ‘Midnight’ from their upcoming new album entitled ‘Ghost Stories.’
I’m a big fan of both the band and Moroder. Check out the track on iTunes.
New track from Coldplay dropped tonight in anticipation of their upcoming sixth studio album.
I’ve been a big fan for years. Always moving forward, creating new sounds and surprising their audience.
The video and track are a bit “trippy” but I like. Very cool.
I’m a big fan of Coldplay’s new CD “Mylo Xyloto” to be released on October 24th. Coldplay consistently comes up with the kind of pop/rock music I like today. Not too young for an adult, not mellow to feel “old.”
From their past hits “Viva la Vida” to “Speed of Sound” to “Clocks,” I always love what they come up with. The first single from the new CD – “Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall” has already run up the charts. The second single – “Paradise” – was just released and already at the top of the iTunes charts.
2008’s “Viva la Vida” CD hit #1 in 36 countries. I expect the same from this new release.
