New Coldplay song free for download!

Coldplay is working on their 4th full-length album, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, which is due out on June 12th. To promote their upcoming LP they have made their first single, "Violet Hill", available for download. All you have to do is go to the Coldplay song page, fill in your email address, zip code, and country, and you will receive a download link for "Violet Hill" mp3 in your inbox.

"Violet Hill" sounds pretty good. It feels darker than past songs, especially with the few heavy guitar riffs they fit in around the verses. The music creates a certain atmosphere that would make imagine a violet hill.

Well, that is all. I'm moving out of my dorm at USM today and going back to South Portland. Woohoo!

Give 'em a listen: The New Pornographers

I have started a new feature on my blog called "Give 'em a Listen", and its purpose is to provide listeners with music from bands they haven't heard before. I'm using Mixwit.com to create playlists of the bands I'm showcasing.

The first band I am featuring on Give 'em a Listen is The New Pornographers. They are an indie rock/power-pop band from Vancouver, featuring alt-country artist Neko Case and Destroyer frontman Dan Bejar. The New Pornographers have been around since 1997, and all four of their full-length albums have been critical hits. I've been really obsessed with these guys and gals lately, so give 'em a listen! (There are 12 songs on this playlist!)

If you can't view this playlist, please click here.
