Certain Songs #244: Coldplay – “The Scientist”

July 8, 2015 by Jim Connelly

The_scientist_cover_art Album: A Rush of Blood to the Head
Year: 2002

First off, I’d like to apologize to my fellow music snobs for not hating Coldplay like I’m supposed to. Instead, I think that Chris Martin has a complete understanding of how ludicrous it is to be a rock star in a post-rock era, and piss-takes like their recent Game of Thrones: The Musical show a sense of humour that I think more mega-selling artists should emulate.

While I haven’t liked any of their music since Viva La Vida, I thought both that record and A Rush of Blood to The Head were pretty good, especially on the radio.

Medialoper Bebop Episode 21: Harry Potter and the Naked Grab For Cash

October 26, 2011 by Jim Connelly

This week, Jim, Kirk & Tim are not quite as organized as in previous weeks, which is really saying something (really saying something) (bop bop shoobie do wah).

First off, Kirk’s impending trip to San Francisco sparks a discussion about what having the San Francisco Giants being the MLB champions for a year meant to Tim & Jim, and how the Rapture could have kept the Giants champions forever. (3:45 – 7:10)

Then, we discuss the decision by Warner Bros to put the Harry Potter DVDs on moratorium at the end of the year, and wonder what it might mean for the future of digital media vs. physical media. (7:14 – 19:56)

We look at the first world problem of how iPads are affecting bandwidth in hotel rooms, and Kirk’s PROTIP for solving the problem. (19:57 – 25:45)

After that, another voicemail from Medialoper Bebop Commissioner Gordon Loper. Yep, we’re still in trouble over that whole “Hitler” thing. (25:46 – 28:10)

This week, it was Tim’s turn to do “In The Mix,” however, he’d had a busy week, and tried to discuss albums he hadn’t even heard, and we had to bring in the Commissioner to find out if he could even do that. Tim’s controversial and theoretical mix might include Tom Waits, Noel Gallagher and Coldplay. And Peter Gabriel. (28:12 – 33:50)
