New Releases Thurs 4/21: Coldplay etc

[RGMike]

Coldplay on KFOG right now. Sounds just like 'em -- and like their many clones of the past year.

[RGMike]

But Haley Jones MD follows Coldplay with a new band called The Dead Sixties (LOL!), who claim "we don't sound like anybody" but who sound like Elvis Costello fronting the Clash.

[RGMike]

and now it's new Beck, with charmingly cheezy Atari-2600-sounding synths.  His most "radio-friendly" thing in ages.

Yeah, they don't sound like anybody...because they sound like everybody. I got a Joe Jackson/early Talking Heads vibe from them. But regardless, we're talking the same era so safe to say they're retro-New Wave.

I liked the two new songs he did on SNL this weekend.  Wonderfully overpercussive.
