Coldplay drops highly anticipated album today.


It's Tuesday, you know what that means... new album reviews. Today's releases include Coldplay, Katy Perry, 2 Pistols, and Silver Jews. I have been a big fan of Coldplay for awhile now and not one of their albums disappoints, they took a different direction on Viva La Vida though. The bright spot on the album is the extremely catchy tune Lost!, a world like song with tribal drums included. Also, 42 is a completely fresh song referencing ghosts and heaven, just a couple of the concepts of the album which push the boundaries of songwriting. Overall, fans of Coldplay will enjoy this just as much as fans of music in generall will.

Ron Paul after months of hard work finally drops out


"Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul said Thursday night he is ending his campaign but will keep spreading his message by working to help elect libertarian-leaning Republicans to public office around the country." Reports AP. It's hard for a lot of Ron's devoted followers to accept that he has officially dropped out, and many will be writing his name on the ballot come November, though Ron described that as "unproductive".
