Rewind: The Week in Rock Daily

Coldplay revealed to us that the title of their new album was Viva la Vida, which you all found to be amusing. Chris Martin and Co. later changed the album title to Viva la Vida or Death And All His Friends, which you all still found to be amusing. We also went inside the studio with the band to hear and preview their opus. We predicted the Raconteurs would release their second album next week, ruining the surprise when it was confirmed later that day by the band. Although we were all supposed to be greeted by the album on Tuesday, iTunes accidentally leaked the thing this morning before turning off the faucets. We’re listening to Consolers of the Lonely right now. Are you? The LA Times implicated some Diddy associates in the 1994 shooting of Tupac Shakur. Diddy denied the accusation, but the story’s scribe stuck to his guns. We finally made it back from SXSW with videos of Perez Hilton, Sara Bareilles, Pharrell and Paramore in tow. We also reminisced about our favorite new bands, talked with Tom Morello and got way too little sleep. Check out all our coverage here. Over in the editors’ ultra-swank Capri Lounge blog, we asked chef David Chang what is it about his food that inspired Elvis Costello to name his new album after it, re-analyzed a forgotten LL Cool J classic and complained about the problematic lack of hoverboards.

"An End Has a Start (Deluxe Edition)" by Editors

Considering the British boys in Editors spent a large part of their debut's promotion time hell-bent on convincing listeners that they're not merely a Xerox copy of Interpol, it's curious that they're releasing their sophomore effort, An End Has a Start, a week after the New York band's Our Love to Admire. But while Interpol is now focused on cool detachment and fleeting threesomes, Editors newest is the embodiment of earnestness. Singer Tom Smith mopes his way through lyrics that wouldn't read out of place on a Hallmark card: "In the end all you can hope for is the love you felt to equal the pain you've gone through," the frontman emotes in "Bones," while "Push Your Head Towards the Air" sees Smith professing, "Now don't drown in your tears, babe, I will always be there." As for the music, despite the band's insistence that Joy Division is not an influence, their sound still plays like a not-wholly-unique variety of gloomy post-punk. Ultimately, the

"Hideout" by Film School

If past Film School releases featured a band stylistically stuck between the narrow hallways of post-punk and the woozy haze of shoegaze, the San Francisco unit's latest (and second for Beggars Banquet) seems to be a declaration of choice: "We've sided with the dream pop, the pedals and the texture-heavy gurgle of the latter, thank you." After all, Film School's heart has always seemed to lie with a more adventurous approach. Even on 2006's danceable self-titled jaunt, mastermind Greg Bertens' sensibilities proved much darker and more complex than those of, say, post-punk contemporaries Bloc Party or Editors. But after a gun-point robbery, the theft of Film School's van, and some serious personnel changes, Bertens' songwriting seems even darker here. Hideout's songs benefit greatly from the gloom, as the icy winds of "Blizzard Scout" or the acoustic warble of "Must Try Easier" quickly prove. It's this gloom that allows the moments when Bertrens lets light shine in on
