Fer those of you who haven’t run into this yet, Creaky Boards’ frontman Andrew Hoepfner (who plays organ on my record and often plays bass with me live; I, in turn, play bass fer Creaky Boards) has caused quite the sensation with his YouTube clip alleging Coldplay of stealing his song. The story’s been picked up by many places in the past few days, including Rolling Stone online, MTV news online, the Wall Street Journal Online, Pitchfork Media, and even Perez Hilton. It also was ranked yesterday at #6 in the E! Channel’s Daily Top 10, where it aired on television.

Did Coldplay steal from Creaky Boards? Judge fer yerself:

And, in the live clip of the band, you can see yers truly rockin’ out on bass (stage left in an orange shirt)…
