Newsflash: Coldplay Quitting?
Looks like Chris Martin is hinting at a Coldplay break-up within two years. He says he’s too old. Considering he’s 31, that should make us all feel really good about life. But hey, Coldplay can go on without him… …Or not.
Jonquil
Hailing from Oxford, UK, Jonquil mixes experimental pop with folk to create a different sound on each song. “Lions”, one of the songs on their recently released (November 18) Whistle Low EP, sounds eerily similar to Shearwater (a band many of you might be more familiar with) yet “Whistle Low”, the title track off the… Continue reading Jonquil
Team Genius
8 members + inspiration = Team Genius. Allan’s World of Music introduced me to this band which has recently come out with a self-titled debut cd. They want people to get silly and dance listening to their music, with a mix of several instruments to create a kiddy, multi-layered, yet catchy effect. Drew Hermiller and… Continue reading Team Genius

iPhone Commercial: The Submarines
“You know when you don’t know what song is playing – and its driving you crazy?” Oh My. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hny-G-0nUBM&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6&border=1] First of all, this is completely awesome, yet totally absurd. Does anyone have this feature? Does it work? Secondly, I highly doubt anyone would hear The Submarines coming out of any speakers (besides maybe iPhone commercials)… Continue reading iPhone Commercial: The Submarines
Exit Clov
You wanna hear a local band getting buzz lately? Check out D.C.’s own blissful pop crew, Exit Clov, fronted by identical twins Emily and Susan Hsu. This is especially exciting for me because GUESS WHAT!? The lead guitarist, Aaron Leeder, went to the same summer camp (whattup Yavneh) as I did. Yeah, I know people,… Continue reading Exit Clov
