Clocks, Red Hot Chilli Pipers, Coldplay, bagpipes, cover song





Clocks [Red Hot Chilli Pipers / Coldplay]


No, that’s not a typo. The Red Hot Chilli Pipers are a bagpipe band. And they’re really good. Then again, I’m not sure I’d know bad bagpipe music if I heard it.

Fix You, Street Corner Symphony, Coldplay, cover song




Fix You [ Street Corner Symphony / Coldplay ] From The Vault … May 6, 2012 I actually thought I posted this one many moons ago, because it’s one of two songs I’ve ever heard, cover or not, that has ever evoked genuine tears from me without other stimulus. And the richer the sound system I hear it on, the more likely I am to have that response again. Here’s Street Corner Symphony covering Coldplay.

Fight For Your Right (To Party)

"Mom busted in and said 'what's that noise?' I said mom 'you're just jealous it's Coldplay covering the Beastie Boys!'"


RIP MCA. You fought the good fight, which was, of course, was for the right to party.

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas [12 Days Of Covers]

First recorded in 1944 for the flick "Meet me In St. Louis," I'd wager to guess you've never heard the Judy Garland original of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." You still won't be hearing it here, but consider yourself informed. Here's Coldplay doing their version.

The Scientist

I'm pretty sure that when Chris Martin wrote The Scientist for his band Coldplay he wasn't thinking to himself, "Wow, this would be cool if Willie Nelson sang it ... and it was used to sell upscale free range Mexican food."

He might not have had that in mind but that's what happened. Actually what the hell is Chipolte's gimmick anyway? Is free range or organic or what? Pretentious? Delicious! Yeah that's it.
