About This Site

Each month I select 20 songs (10 songs twice a month) that I am either hooked on or am curious about. Most of the music I select are rock, hip-hop, R&B and pop songs.

My song selection comes from 20-30 CDs I get from various sources each month, as well as recommendations from iTunes and Amazon. I also check out the charts in US, UK and Japan.

Coldplay – Viva La Vida [Live]

Album: Left Right Left Right Left

no sample
Coldplay is currently on their huge global tour, and I had a chance to go check them out, actually my first time. I’ve heard many people tell me that they sound great live, and that they put on energetic show. Unfortunately I was seated a little far to tell the energy, but I appreciated their effort in moving the stage occasionally to get closer to other parts of amphitheater. I was also impressed that they covered “Billie Jean” in memory of Michael Jackson’s death. Coldplay has released numerous hits in the past, but this song got the biggest cheer and audience participation, chanting, “oooooh ooooh ooh oooh.” It is a great song, especially hearing it live on summer evening. This entire live album is available for a free download from their official website, but an actual CD was also handed out at the concert.

i liked the upbeat nature of this song, helps me get ready for a day at work. the music in live version seems to overpower the singing a little
