Record Label EMI Rubbish Coldplay Leaving Reports
Posted by busybeeburns on Thursday, August 21, 2008 - 04:10 PM (23 Reads)
Topic Coldplay news

 Record label EMI have rubbished reports which claimed Coldplay were keen to complete their contract with the major label.
A report in this morning's Sun newspaper claimed the band could release a new album within the next year, which would be followed by a greatest hits record. But a spokesman for EMI has denied the “inaccurate” claims, and was quoted as saying: “Coldplay are signed to a long term record deal with EMI and are committed to produce a number of albums.”
And, contrary to the claims in the newspaper, which suggest Coldplay may want to head out on their own, the spokesperson added: “The band's relationship with EMI is both long-term and positive.”
Coldplay's relationship with EMI has been under the spotlight since the record label's 2007 takeover by private equity company Terra Firma.

New Coldplay Album Set For Release?
Posted by busybeeburns on Thursday, August 21, 2008 - 08:43 AM (112 Reads)
Topic Coldplay news

 The Sun is reporting today that Coldplay are preparing for the release of a surprise album within a year of Viva La Vida hitting stores. Productive recording sessions with Brian Eno has left many more unused songs in the can, which the band are now considering releasing.
The Sun’s source at the label said: “The Viva La Vida sessions were incredibly fruitful. They gelled brilliantly with Brian and recorded much more music than they could fit on one album. Standard industry contracts tend to be for six albums, so if they provide some kind of compilation after their next album they will be free agents and able to renegotiate their contract or head out on their own.”
The band are currently XFM DJs for the month of August having already broadcast three parts of their ‘Residency’ show. Listen to them all again here.

Coldplay Roadie #42 - Blog #22

 Check out coldplay.com for a new blog entry: #42 muses on the band's time in Japan
Can it really be a week since we left Japan? Worse yet, I've not yet submitted my journals from those shows. "Jetlag" sounds far more glamourous and interesting than "couldn't get off the sofa", so I'm sticking with that. Somehow though, I think we all know where the truth lies.
In a nice follow-on from the previous journal, I opened my hotel room curtains in Osaka to be greeted by a building in the distance bearing the word "Yodobashi". The very same camera shop I arrived at in Tokyo minus my credit card. Over breakfast, I enlist the permanently Leica-bearing Berryman to join me for a trip over there. I've managed to obtain cash and today there's no stopping me. We both return somewhat lighter of wallet, but laden with photographic goodies.

Coldplay: 'We never smash up hotels'

Topic Stuff!

 Coldplay frontman Chris Martin insists he will never smash up a hotel room – because he used to clean them.
The rocker, 31, said: “When you’re a cleaner and you walk into a trashed room, it’s truly annoying. All you want to do is go on your tea break – and you get faced with that.”
Chris has seen the latest Coldplay album Viva La Vida go to No 1 in more than 30 countries. But he begged trash-happy celebs: “Spare a thought for the poor schmuck cleaning the room.”

Interview found on eBay Chatter:
Coldplay is one of my favorite bands and is currently touring to promote their new album Viva la Vida. I had the chance to interview drummer Will Champion when they came to San Jose to play at the HP Pavilion.
I asked him if he had ever bought or sold anything on eBay. Here is what he said: "Well, for our new single, Viva La Vida, we needed to find a big bell for me to ring. So we looked on eBay and found an old school bell that we bought. We used it in the studio and we use it during the concerts too. You will see it later on during the show on stage."
