Coldplay releases a free, live album entitled LeftRightLeftRightLeft

I’m a Coldplay fan. Probably not enough of a fan to shell out hundreds of dollars for good seats when they’re on tour, but good enough that I have all their records and am happy to throw them on for some good, mindless and enjoyable listening. Are they as good as U2? Not a chance in hell. They don’t have the depth, I think. But they do have the catchy melodies and big rockstar swagger and they’re so damn easy to listen to.

Coldplay released a new, live album that’s free to download called LeftRightLeftRightLeft. So today’s Daily Fresh Track is one of my favourite Coldplay songs, Clocks.

Oh, what the hell. Since it’s the long weekend, here’s 42 for your listening pleasure. Check out Chris Martin’s vocal prowess on the very last note.

Green Day

Oh boy, I’ve been waiting for this album to drop (as they say in the hood) for awhile now, ever since American Idiot wormed itself into my brain a few years ago. I was one of the first to get 21st Century Breakdown when it was released today and my first impressions are that it’s another strong evolution in Green Day’s career.

Here you go, my Track of the Day is Green Day’s title song: 21st Century Breakdown. Crank it!

Time for a Rock n’ Roll Doubleshot of great tuneage. Kings of Leon are blowing up this year on this side of the Atlantic. The first song that made me fall in love with them was Fans, off their 2007 album, Because of the Times.

Their big single of last year’s Only by the Night is Sex On Fire. You’ve probably heard this bluesy southernish rock gem all over the radio this year.
