In Music News...

It seems that Coldplay has already started working on their new album, the follow up to the mega-successful Viva La Vida... The announcement was made via Twitter (something I still have yet to join). Back with them is Brian Eno, the man who produced a good amount of material for them on the last album. I don't know what to think of this, usually when artists return too quickly from success, their material is weak, with the exception of Rihanna. She released three albums in two and half years with the third being the biggest seller and most complex.

It was announced today that ultra-eclectic rock group Radiohead will be performing at The 51st Grammy's ceremony next Sunday, the 8th of February. As much as I love The Grammy Awards, it's one big snooze fest with a few highlights. It seems as though that fact is finally registering in the Grammy folks' minds and they're trying to correct it. The rest of the performance line-up confirmed thus far is; Paul McCartney (with special guest drummer Dave Grohl), Kenny Chesney, Coldplay, Jennifer Hudson, Jonas Brothers, Lil Wayne, Katy Perry, Carrie Underwood, Justin Timberlake, T.I., Kanye West and Lil Wayne.
