Do you feel like you're getting old yet? Yes, its true, Radiohead has been around for 15 years, and has drastically changed their look and approach to music. Rolling Stone posted a great spread of their photos ranging from Pablo Honey to In Rainbows. My, these guys have grown up... Check out their photos.
Also this past week, Coldplay turned ten years. The specific day this happened was 1/16/1998 when the band played in Laurel Tree. Funny how that first time always sticks around. Coldplay has a video posted up on their thoughts and rememberances of this day, which was only the beginning before their career was launched from Parachutes. More exciting is to celebrate this day, they are going up to New York to mix their new album, Prospekt.MP3: Coldplay - Pour Me (Live at the Hollywood Bowl)
Their last full entry on their website, http://www.coldplay.com/ is as follows:
Mixing, New York
The ups and downs come thick and fast at this point in proceedings. One minute we're all buzzing about the mix of Prospekt's March; the next we're crippled by doubt over the drum track for Lost! One minute we're over the moon about a new artwork idea; the next, we're all gloomy about our slow progress in designing the live show. Later today, we've got a meeting about coldplay.com and how to make it the best darn website out there.
So, as you can gather, there's a lot going on... we're trying to pull all the threads together and get these songs (and all the hoopla that goes with them) ready to present to the big wide world. The funny thing is (and this is always the case), the creative momentum just keeps gathering. There's no sense of consolidation or winding down. In a couple of hours, we've got a colliery brass band (tubes, trumpets, French horns etc) coming in from Brooklyn to reinvent the third verse of 'Famous Old Painters'. Hats off to producer Markus (Dravs) for finding a group of musicians playing a style of music unique to a small area of Northern England in New York City at 24 hours' notice.
And Chris just keeps on writing... he's shown me five new songs in the last two days. I seriously don't know when he sleeps.
Prospekt.
