I'm not gay, but I must admit the new Coldplay album is EXCELLENT, their best work yet. Plus, you really gain appreciation for an album when you slowly download it over the course of a week.
The new Weezer? Also good, but not appreciably different than the entire rest of their catalogue. They've also continued their annoying tradition of releasing the worst song on the album as the first single.
The new Hold Steady? I'm liking, as always. Gotta love a band that sounds like '70s Springsteen, except instead of Jersey, all the references are to the Minneapolis area.
Hahaha. I love how you feel the need to point out that you're not gay before a positive Coldplay review.

And especially since in the next post, you are singing the praises of gay marriage :)
