Coldplay

You may want to get over to the Detroit thread in the live section. Mel and Lori got upgraded to 2nd row with tickets from Chris and he actually told Mel happy birthday on stage during the show. squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Enjoy!

Over this weekend us Brits put our clocks back an hour and anyway I was over at my parents place and we were moaning about how confused that we all were with the clock change and everything and I said "The whole world has to thank Coldplays' Chris Martins great great grandfather for all this!! His great great grandfather is the Inventor/scientist William Willet!!!". Anyway, my dad said to me "Your joking!!!! I used to work with William Willets grand-daughter!!!" You could have knocked me down with a feather!!! So my father used to know a descendant of Chris Martin!!!!!!??????:o:o:o I was on Cloud Nine all day after that!!!!!:D:D:D My dad is a retired senior ar…

Guy: Oh no.. not this again.. ladies. smile for the camera, eh!! Will: I did no such thing!!!! I swear! Jonny: I wonder whats for lunch?? I'm hungry..

Lots of bands give music away free, but few superstars do it. Coldplay did and did it right. This guest post from Australian music industry veteran Nick Crocker shares some lessons learned. Earlier this year, Coldplay gave away a free mp3 of "Violet Hill", the first single from their album "Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends". By delivering genuine value to fans in an original way, Coldplay generated press coverage worldwide. It was the act of a band at the top of its game and extended Coldplay's fan database, almost overnight, by 300,000. A Coldplay single in exchange for an email address and a postcode is a fair swap. But the true value of the exchan…

So Eric Hutchinson is an artist I just discovered today. He's really great and seems like a really nice guy. Anyways, I was going through his web site and he has this thing where he picks his 7 favorite things of the month. For October, one of the things is Viva la Vida. :) "VIVA LA VIDA" by Coldplay - Though I like Coldplay's songs, this is actually the first album of theirs I've bought. The Brian Eno production is spacey and gives the record a nice mood. It's a good one to put on first thing in the morning while you're getting ready to face the day. You can actually feel flowers growing while the songs play. I thought it was such a sweet way of describing the…

The composer, producer, music theorist and digital artist Brian Eno is best known for his work with Roxy Music and subsequent long-standing collaborations with David Bowie and U2. He was recently in Abu Dhabi showing 77 Million Paintings, a programme of video and music. With this exhibition, I wanted to create a nice, quiet place. I call them “quiet clubs”. My idea of a great club is somewhere you go to and nothing much happens. You know that Talking Heads song, Heaven Is a Place Where Nothing Ever Happens? That’s my idea of heaven, too. My life seems so crowded with stimulus; I’m very happy to be in no-stimulus situations. I had been working in video for many years…

Click here to listen online wherever you are. Anchorman :-) I didn´t think we would hear it that early! Anyway, I´m really looking forward to it!

Anyone catch the Live Lounge today..? Pendulum did their own track then covered Violet Hill - drum 'n bass stylee :) http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/livelounge/artist/080730_pendulum.shtml - if you do the listen again thingie on iPlayer, the live lounge starts about 2 hrs 15 in and VH starts at 2hr30, with a long slow build up. I'm not a Pendulum fan, tho I do like the Propane Nightmare single they did, but I thought I'd make time at work to listen, cos the live lounges are always interesting. I didn't know they were gonna do Coldplay but was pleasantly surprised - very rocky. Vernon Kay played it again when I was in the car on the way home from work. If anyone can…

Duffy set fire to her hair just seconds before meeting Chris Martin. The Welsh-born singer has revealed the embarrassing encounter with the Coldplay frontman which took place at a concert in Cleveland, US, last week. She said: "I was in the dressing room and I had dimmed the lights, then I lit this candle and it started melting a bit. "I thought, 'S**t!' and started blowing it out. I got a cloth to wipe it and bent down, not realising it was still lit. Then the entire left side of my hair went up in flames. "At that moment Chris was walking down the corridor to say, 'Hi'. I hadn't met him before and the place stank of burning hair. Somebody came in and said,…

What Is The Best Video????

Here the artwork of Lovers In Japan single (source: Coldplaybootlegs - Thanks to Nitehawk!!!):

Well, I just saw that Lovers in Japan will get released soon, and it follows the pattern that the names of the songs on the deluxe edition will be released. Does this mean Glass of Water will be released too? Because I seem to recall that Glass of Water was on the list thing eg. Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends includes Violet Hill, Viva la Vida, Lost!, Lovers in Japan and Glass of Water. And if anyone can find the cover for me, that would be awesome :D

I'm not sure if there will ever be a Stuff Christians Like cologne. I mean you dream, you know? You watch people like Usher and Gwen Stefani develop their own signature scents and you think to yourself, "Why not me? Couldn't I have a cologne called SH (Side Hug) that smelled like a potpourri of old hymnals and goldfish crackers?" Unfortunately the toilet water industry is all about who you know, and I don't know anyone. Chances are, I won't be able to offer you SH anytime soon, even though the commercial would feature Carmen just looking soulfully at the camera with his finger to his mouth whispering, “SHHHHH.” But if I did have a cologne and did become a Christian …
