COLDPLAY DISPLAY STUNNING UNORIGINALITY ONCE AGAIN

Not a Coldplay fan, I. Manufactured schlocky drama. Pap. "Yellow" was like nails on a freakin' chalkboard and it's not gotten better since. New album out today, woohoo...let's pretend to be Arcade Fire instead of Radiohead. (Wot, Radiohead got too "musically challenging" to copy?). Shit, at least Muse made something interesting of themselves. (Go team Muse!)

Annnyyhow, furor erupts on the internet. Surprise, surprise, the poorly named (but trendily moustache'd) CREAKY BOARDS from Brooklyn might have cause to call plagiarism against Coldplay.
Check out this clip.
The more you watch it, the more it makes you say...hmmmmmm?


In a recent interview (where he declares his love for Limp Bizkit...joke or no joke, terribly uncool) Martin states, "With Brian [Eno], he's not snobby about any kind of music. He'd say, ''Listen to this Donna Summer track and then this Boyz II Men track.'' Then we'd listen to Rammstein, and I played him a Limp Bizkit song. It could be literally like that, so we were able to plagiarize from the most extraordinary places."

ps. Eno produced this new Coldplay album (oh, Eno, you disappoint me sometimes with the cash grabs, there's so many bands out there today who would really produce miracles with your influence). Although, to give Eno credit, he apparently said to Chris Martin:

"Your songs are too long. And you're too repetitive, and you use the same tricks too much, and big things aren't necessarily good things, and you use the same sounds too much, and your lyrics are not good enough."

Too true.
