TRAILER: Game Of Thrones, The Musical

Via Stereogum:

Game Of Thrones isn’t what anyone would really call a funny show. (Especially after last week’s ending. Yee.) But it does have funny moments, and most of those moments come from Peter Dinklage’s portrayal of Tyrion Lannister. And now Dinklage will get to do some A-list self-deprecation. As part of the money-raising comedy marathon Red Nose Day, Dinklage and Coldplay are teaming up to make Game Of Thrones: The Musical. Below, watch a teaser for a Dinklage song about his character’s miraculous ability to not die.

Coldplay - Magic

Rolling Stone reviews the first single from Coldplay's coming album, which goes on sale next month:

"Magic" is more of a return to form. Although the track leads with a bass-heavy, almost electronic-inflected groove – not unlike one of Radiohead's moodier tracks – Martin's voice makes it sound like vintage Coldplay. "Call it magic," he sings. "Call it true. Call it magic, when I'm with you." And even though the band includes thoughtful, deeply textured production touches like warbling synths and guitar reverb that lingers a little longer than usual, Martin intones the falsetto "woos" and a catchy "Yes, I do" hook that, along with a lush acoustic guitar buildup in the middle, prove it to be Coldplay through and through.
