This Week on coldplaysucks — May 18-24

28 tracks went up last week and the queue decided this was Indie Electronic Week. 7 of them. MRD had a one-man remix festival (4 entries). And out of nowhere, a Syrian dabke track snuck in and ate the whole thing. Track of the Week Omar Souleyman - Allishiryan This is the surprise. Nobody opens an electronic music blog expecting Syrian dabke and that is exactly why it is the pick. Omar Souleyman has been doing this for forty years and “Allishiryan” still hits like he just discovered the genre yesterday. Listen → The Breakdown Indie electronic (7 posts). It...

Viva la Vida turns 18 and it still sucks

18 years ago today, Coldplay released “Viva la Vida.” It still sucks. The Wikipedia-history crowd absolutely ate this one up. Chris Martin whispered vaguely about kings and castles over a string section he definitely didn’t write, and the entire planet decided it was profound. It’s not. It’s a pub quiz answer dressed as an anthem — three minutes of someone else’s history lesson, and the world called it the song of the year. The Grammys agreed. The Grammys are also frequently wrong.

Armin van Buuren x Hannah Laing x Wippenberg - U Got 2 Know (Live @ EDC Las Vegas 2026)

Armin playing at EDC with Wippenberg, a name I haven’t heard in maybe 15 years. “U Got 2 Know” is peak Dutch trance and the crowd clearly loses it. Good to see Wippenberg back.

Armin van Buuren & Glockenbach - Sun Shines On Me (Rising Star Remix) [Live @ EDC Las Vegas 2026]

Two Armin tracks from the same EDC set. Fair enough — when you have that catalog, you run it. The Rising Star remix hits differently in a live context than the studio version.
