It's Christmas! Let's be glad!

Well not yet. But I am listening to my Sufjan Stevens songs for Christmas box set! How exciting :D because do you know what this means? I WILL BE DONE WITH COLLEGE ESSAYS SOON. & I will actually get to actually update. 

So Coldplay has been accused yet again (remember the Creaky Boards incident?) of ripping off someone else's song for "Viva La Vida." (As if Coldplay doesn't get enough hits for ripping off their own material), Guitarist Joe Satriani has decided to sue Coldplay. Even I must admit the resemblance is uncanny. Listen for yourself. [Source]

Lily Allen's video for "The Fear" is out. The song itself is... actually I'm not sure how to feel about it. It has wobbly synth undertones which is nice & shimmery. The video is fun to watch: 


Pitchfork reviewed The Killers' newest album, Day & Age, & gave it what they always seem to give The Killers. A five point something (5.9 this time); Hot Fuss 5.2, Sam's Town 5.9, & Sawdust 5.5 . Read ze review.

you know, it's not entirely mathematically impossible for some tunes to sound alike.
not likely, but not impossible.
the music industry = petty, unfortunately.
