Did Coldplay rip off Creaky Boards? I doubt it.June 17th, 2008, 4:50 pm by Crystal OlveraCreaky Boards, a Brooklyn-based band, claims Chris Martin stole a tune of theirs and made it his own. They’re talking about a song called “The Songs I Didn’t Write,” which Coldplay has allegedly ripped off for current single “Viva La Vida.” The band claims that Coldplay frontman Chris Martin attended a Creaky Boards show last year where the band performed the song live. (The song has never been released on an album.) However, NME reports that Chris Martin was not in the United States when the suspected plagiarism occurred. Check out the video below made by Creaky Boards which shows the alleged similarities between the two songs.
Did Coldplay rip off Creaky Boards? I doubt it. Maybe it’s because I’m tired of the whole “big-bad-million-record-selling-band stole my song” accusations or maybe it’s because there are only so many combinations of notes that you can create before the world starts writing the same songs over and over again. It’s all just becoming a little old. Especially when the band thinks they saw Chris Martin in the audience. Jewel gets honoredJune 6th, 2008, 4:17 pm by Crystal OlveraThe Recording Industry Association of America gave Jewel a plaque commemorating sales of more than 18 million albums in the U.S., reported AP. She has sold 27 million albums worldwide since her 1995 debut. Isn’t that insane? She was just a little blonde gal from Alaska who lived in a van down by the river. Who knew cute little Jewel would go on to be a superstar? Check out thse pics of her at the CMA Festival on Thursday in Nashville, Tenn. More photos after the jump!
Ashlee Simpson blogs about her cancelled tourJune 4th, 2008, 7:10 pm by Crystal OlveraIt seems like today has turned out to be a popular blogging day for pop stars. First we get Lily Allen Ashlee writes on her myspace blog: Dear friends, fans, lurkers, stalkers and sh**talkers! Ashlee, you forgot the “my album tanked and my show tickets aren’t selling” reason. If you wanted to be honest, you could’ve added that option as number 5. I’m just sayin’. ________________________________

Elvis Presley no longer holds Billboard records for most No. 1s Fugly Album Art: Ashlee SimpsonMarch 9th, 2008, 4:51 pm by Crystal OlveraI think I’m going to start a weekly “Fugly Album Art” feature because I’ve been coming across some pretty terrible album sleeves lately. Take a look at Ashlee Simpson’s cover art for her new album “Bittersweet World.” This looks like one of those cheap wallpapers offered at an unofficial Ashlee Simpson fansite — the ones created by 12-year-olds with an old version of Photoshop on their dad’s computer. I understand Simpson is going for an 80s vibe on her new record, but I think it could’ve been done in a more creative way without looking like a 10-minute project. Ashlee looks homeless and the font looks like the one spray-painted on the wall a few blocks from my house.
Kanye West, Chris Martin “Homecoming” stillsMarch 7th, 2008, 2:43 pm by Crystal OlveraKanye just posted a few screencaps from his new video with Coldplay’s Chris Martin for “Homecoming” on his blog. The song is one of my favorites from “Graduation.”
Looks like Kanye went back to Chi-town for a real life homecoming of his own. I don’t know if I dig the black and whiteness of it all, but I’m glad Chris made an appearance. He’s a big part of the song. I hope we get to see a live performance from both to promote the single.
