'Queen Extravaganza' Is A Kinda Magic
A new tribute concert to the classic rock band Queen started it's tour of North America on Wednesday in Canada. 'The Queen Extravaganza' (which was produced by original Queen drummer, Roger Taylor) aims to recreate the sound of the original band using new musical talent. And judging by reviews, they have certainly succeeded. The National Post said "Freddie Mercury was giving them a thumbs up from heaven" and Billboard.com summarised with "sounded magnificent".

New Videos From Marina and the Diamonds and Coldplay
On Thursday, Marina and the Diamonds released the music video for their upcoming single "Power and Control". In my opinion, neither the video nor the song are anything special, just more commercial music to fill a gap in the market.
The single, which is from the No. 1 album "Electra Heart", will be released on the 9th of July.
And yesterday Coldplay released their new single and video for "Princess of China" featuring Rihanna. It was released a day earlier than expected after a leaked version was set loose on the internet the day before. Personally, I don't think the song is particularly great, especially after the last two singles released by the band, "Charlie Brown" and "Paradise", which have been fantastic. However, I think the video is very fun and imaginative.
The single is from Coldplay's most recent album Mylo Xyloto.
Aerosmith Tease New Video
Yesterday Aerosmith posted a teaser on Youtube for the video of their new single "Legendary Child". The video is scheduled to be released next week. It will be the first Areosmith music video in eight years!
Happy Birthday!
