Two shots from B.o.B as he continues his recent active streak. First up, he adds his magic to Katy Perry’s “The One That Got Away” as Perry takes aim at a record-breaking sixth number one single from her Teenage Dream album. Read the rest of this entry »
Coldplay has never been known to ignore a good opportunity. Chris Martin and his bandmates show that timing is indeed everything and release their latest song, “Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall,” on the eve of a headlining gig at Glastonbury alongside Beyonce and U2 and scheduled performances at other upcoming summer music festivals.

Ah, we were wondering where Mike Posner went. Since he couldn’t stay touring forever, last year’s breakout singer/songwriter returns to his mixtape roots by reworking another song from his iPod. This go round, instead of covering The Fray or ELO, the Southfield, MI songwriter sets the standards a bit higher by tackling Coldplay’s “The Scientist”. Read the rest of this entry »
While we want for springtime to get its ass in gear for Twenty Eleven, JoiStaRR is spreading April cheer with a sunny disposition from her forthcoming breakout project, Broccoli & Noodles. And the breakout has been a long time coming for one of L.A.’s song angels. Waiting in the wing behind an one Mr. Kanye West on concerts and tours, (including the one that Glow(ed) In The Dark) and recording with everyone from Raphael Saadiq to Ghostface Killah to T.I.

Each time I get into the mindset to write a post about Jay-Z, he makes another quick power move that usurps the last. He’s still transitioning to be seen as more than a rapper by fans and less as Beyonce’s husband to Middle America. Instead of overrunning the cup with coverage, here’s a quick rundown of several significant news bits his name has been attached to. Read the rest of this entry »
While young Bobby Ray got Tip on one track for his Adventures…, this one had to get the snip-snip because Coldplay hates all rappers not named Jay-Z and Kanye. Stick it at the end of the album as you pre-order it, bump it, love it–whatever. The man child has the #1 single in the country. Like the song’s co-star once said, “Big ‘tings poppin.’” Read the rest of this entry »

As the 51st Grammy Awards approach, Mick Boogie and Terry Urban have taken the liberty of building anticipation (and much needed reminders) for the the 2009 Nominees. But instead of just throwing the hottest songs of last year on a disc and calling it a day, The Press Play Show decided to put their own twist on the occasion. As Mick puts it –
Ever wonder how Kanye would sound rapping on Kenna’s song? What if The Jonas Brothers sang over some hiphop breakbeats? What if Thom Yorke sang on Lupe’s “Superstar?” What if Sara Bareilles bought a sampler and not a piano? The list goes on… but the answers can be found here.
And so they shall right after the break. Read the rest of this entry »
This album has managed to remain on my playlist for quit some time now; this song in particular.
There are about four different versions of the track, all of which are quite stellar. But Jay’s verse on this joint propelled it into out of the atmosphere. It was pleasantly surprising to see a video for it floating around, because this is a song that needs to be heard. Read the rest of this entry »
“…when you can afford one.”
I’m a pretty huge Coldplay supporter, and like most of the crew (Gotty™) I’m also a Joe Budden fan. Ergo the concept of a DJ Klapton X Joe Budden X Coldplay mashup was a potential high point of my year. Unfortunately, Mick & Terry beat Klapton to it. Pause. Read the rest of this entry »
“Comebacks.”
That might be this week’s motif.
DG Yola. Dres of Black Sheep. Sly Boogie. G-Dep. dead prez. T-Pain firing back @ his detractors. M.O.P. forming an attack against wrestler John Cena. Jaycee took the masses back to the New Jack Swing era, causing Teef to do the Running Man in his Skidz. Don’t worry, Jay, Teef’s mom is gonna make him pay out his allowance for the hole he burned into the carpet while dancing. You’re off the hook for that one.
“Comebacks” would be followed in a close second by “mixtapes.” Read the rest of this entry »
“…Next thing I know he got a song mixtape with Coldplay.”
Hov’s rhymes and Coldplay’s backdrops put together by Mick and Terry. How can you go wrong with that?
