 Guy Berryman is co-producing The Pierces' new album with Rick Simpson, according to Mark Brauer, the man who mixed Coldplay's last album, Viva la Vida. Mark Brauer was also the one to reveal Guy's involvement with a tweet yesterday, and will be involved in mixing The Pierces' effort. The Pierces are two sisters from Alabama, and the new album will be their fourth. More on this news is at the Coldplay forum here [thanks iriden]
Meanwhile, Liam Gallagher has attacked Coldplay's and U2's dress sense, according to the NME today. The former Oasis singer said he hates what the bands wear onstage, and the fact they've been styled. "I can tell bands who've been styled a mile off. U2?" he explained, adding: "There's no way you bought that jacket is there, Bono? Coldplay, they're at it too." Pretty tame language for the Pretty Green clothing range founder. Join in the Liam bashing at the forum here [thanks Corkus]
Finally, Coldplay's Fix You is the featured music track behind the official video for Earth Hour 2010. You can watch the trailer at the forum now. Don't forget to turn off your lights on March 27th! [thanks In a telescope lens]

 Done and Dusted, the DVD company behind the release of Coldplay's live 2003 DVD, has uploaded a trailer online to their website for Coldplay from back in 2009 when they played in Barcelona, sparking further rumours that a DVD from the Viva la Vida era will be released. The clip shows a three minutes live performance of Viva la Vida, and includes various audience shots as well as panoramic views from behind the stage.
It is still unknown whether this news will be officially confirmed or if the DVD will also include footage from other stadium shows, including Paris, Wembley and the Latin America concerts, but you can watch the Done and Dusted trailer via D&D's Youtube channel at the Coldplay forum now.
Coldplay apparently filmed the Barcelona concert for a live DVD, Spanish media newspapers widely reported before the concert, and according to the sources, the filming process took place place with a sophisticated camera system that included a high crane installed outside the stadium to capture aerial views of the show.

Coldplay's Oracle on the poor beaten puppets (may they rest in peace)

 More questions answered by The Oracle... (over 1200 questions now answered - submit yours now!)
March 15, 2010 - submitted by Flor, Argentina
Q. I'm so curious... what really happened to the puppets? Was the tequila as I've heard? Or the atmosphere in Bogota? It seems that the tour got them tired a lot! Poor puppets... I think they deserve some rest :) Haha .. I really hope you enjoyed the whole tour, thanks a lot for coming. See you soon ... ..We love you! :D
The Oracle replies:
I blame the altitude! I will let you into a secret. I actually left Chris' leg in the back of a car in Rio; it had fallen off and I hadn't noticed. We were reunited very quickly and the following day he was given to the crew carpenter as he had a severe head injury; basically the back of it had come apart. As you can see the puppets took a beating on this gruelling tour and sadly didn't quite make it until the end. It's a shame they weren't photographed well in Guadalajara and of course at all in Monterrey.

Coldplay Roadie #42 - Blog #117 (from stadium to studio...)

 Check out coldplay.com for a new blog entry: They think it's all over...
Discuss this blog entry in the Coldplay forum here onwards [thanks marie/pims]
So there we have it folks. There goes the final whistle. The fat lady has sung and the world's Vida has been well and truly Viva-ed. Summing up two years of your life in a few words is a little like trying to mow a lawn using only scissors. I could try, but I'd pretty soon have sore fingers and give up. All I know is that I'm ready for a day or two of sleep...
Off the top of my head, I'd say that I'll remember this campaign as the one where Coldplay finally made friends with stadium gigs. They haven't joined the old guard in the greatest hits shows just yet. They also haven't joined the stadium rock arms race of selling tickets on the strength of "having a longer power cable than The Stones used on their 1998 tour - previously the most extensive stretch of copper used on a rock show..."

KKR and Warner Music talk over break-up bid for Coldplay label EMI

 EMI, which is owned by Terra Firma, the private equity group controlled by financier Guy Hands, could be put up for sale this summer, reports the Telegraph this week. Warner, which has long coveted EMI's recorded music division, and KKR, which is interested in the music publishing business, are understood to have met in recent weeks to discuss how they might structure a bid. However, no approach is thought to have been made and talks remain at an early stage.
EMI, home to artists including Robbie Williams, Coldplay and Katy Perry, is under pressure to come up with a rescue plan over the next few weeks that will persuade investors to back a £120m refinancing to stop the company being taken over by Citigroup, its lending bank.
