Song of the Day: Violet Hill

Coldplay has a new album coming out in the next week or so. If you watch TV, you've probably seen the iTunes commercial pumping Viva La Vida, the title track. Tough to escape, really.

Here's one that was available for free download for a limited time. A little heavier than some Coldplay stuff, but not to be confused with Megadeath. As lead singer Chris Martin (Mr. Gwyneth Paltrow) says, their stuff is always going to be of a style that can "be sung to the rafters." Which is one of the reasons I like Coldplay; I'm a sucker for the melodramatic or hyperbolic.

PS: Gwyneth Paltrow is another one that will proabbly come knocking on my door someday. And while I might have fallen over myself to answer at one point, like Shania, she's just too little, too late.
