i sincerely doubt that anyone in coldplay was more than vaguely aware that joe satriani existed before this mess. Also, yes they’re very similar but it’s not like the similarity is between a seriously complex or original part of the song. i’m sure there are plenty of other songs in the world that have that same riff. satch should find another way to afford a hair transplant.

honestly, though, i’m more dissappointed in the fact that Stereogum was the last place to carry this story. mtv, rolling stone, spin, and even wikipedia had it before stereogum. lame-o

HAHAHAHA….

HA
HA HA

the sun. HA.

my understanding is that the sun’s story is actually a new clue in the whole “Paul is Dead” issue. The real scoop is that The Beatles will be reuniting.

depends. if it’s at a low setting you probably won’t be able to hear too much a of a difference. auto-tune is used by most recording professionals to fix minor errors in otherwise good takes. if you blast it lil wayne style, even your good notes will have a certain synth-iness to them.

i’m not even gonna lie, alexandra lawn is the cutest cello player i’ve ever seen.
