Echo Star's Gags Help Coldplay To Finish Hit Album ECHO And The Bunnymen star Ian McCulloch has revealed Coldplay gave him a job - because they loved his silly dancing. Singer Chris Martin faced a struggle to match the success of Coldplay's first album Parachutes until Mac paid them a surprise visit at their studio. He had them in stitches with his jokes, so they signed him up as a producer for second album A Rush Of Blood To The Head. Mac said: "They were working on the record and I walked into the studio and did this little David Bowie dance. "It stopped them in their tracks - they were laughing their heads off. "We made friends right away and had a great tim…

Remember a few weeks ago Chris said they'd be giving away download vouchers on the tour? I wonder if this will ever happen. We should find out tomorrow :D

:dozey: "New York Times" Writer Nees A Lesson In MySpace 101 Of all the disastrous MySpaces I've seen, Coldplay's current page does not exactly merit a second thought. It's simple, tasteful, professionally designed, and easy to read. Perhaps the only thing remarkable about it is how good it looks for a MySpace. Yet New York Times media critic Virginia Heffernan seems to think it's some sort of menacing pariah of the online world, a crudely cobbled-together middle finger to all those who crave browser-crashing Flash from their favorite artists' online presence. Her piece in yesterday's NYT Magazine is borderline embarrassing to read if you've ever so much as visite…

Hey guys. I've been busy with work and haven't been able to keep updated. Similarly, after a quick search, I have seen no updated information about a VLV video or any other song video. Are we going to get one? I know it's not an official single, but how can music television programs play the song if there is no video? The last I hear there was a set date to shoot. Can anyone update me / everyone else who's wondering. -Thanks!

as i remember neither of them nor smoke nor drink am i right ?

Has the issue came out with "Ask Coldplay" in it yet?

...that radio contest they were holding in LA? The one where you can win a Coldplay concert in your living room? Anyone know if someone won that yet? I was just watching the amazon.co.uk video where Chris and Jonny play the sparsely acoustic Lovers in Japan, with Chris on the little keyboard. And it sounded just incredible. Couldn't help thinking, "THIS is how it would sound in my house." Just wondering how that whole thing turned out, considering it's like the ULTIMATE Coldplay prize. Hope it went to someone deserving!

This thread is probably the first ever completely dedicated to a song that might never be released. I just want to know other people's opinions on this potential song. Personally, when I first heard of it, it immediately became the song I was most looking forward to hearing. Prospekt once said they were recording it with big band instruments and that it had a Spanish theme to it. I just someday want to be able to hear it cuz it was hyped up for a while.

Okay, here it is. Use at least one image from this thread plus what ever other images you want to create a wallpaper. Post your wallpaper in this thread (1 per user!). Once we have 15 wallpapers we will have a poll voting the best of the best. The last wallpaper standing will become the winner! Remember, no one who participated in the contest may vote for they're own wallpaper. And If you do, it doesn't count. I am not participating, but just to show what you could do.. And now for the entries: 1. Lore: 2. Twisted Mind 3. Zemy101

A while back I noticed some comments about how "young" coldplay listeners are. Lets take a poll here and find out. Feel free to post your age as well as how long you have listened to the band. Should be interesting. I'll start. Im 26.

Hello! I found this really great interview while browsing iTunes earlier and just wanted to share it with those who have not heard it yet. It's free for download on iTunes from Lucio's radio show but I uploaded it to YouTube for those who want to listen without dl-ing or maybe don't have iTunes (:o) Here it is in 2 parts. (The actual interview was in 4 parts but I tried to edit out the breaks in the clips so it cuts from one to the next pretty abruptly, sorry about that.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1cVLJZDLZA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcBXUtaFgCI

Chris mentioned that they're ditching some old tricks and trying to come up with some new tricks, what are ones you noticed on the new album? When they use Chris's extended singing notes towards the end of songs like "Lost!" or "Viva la Vida", is what I noticed. Those are some of my favorite parts of those songs so that trick is working for me. In "Lost!" in particular they made it really subtle and I didn't even notice it until they sang it live on the Daily Show (and comedy central cut it off:veryangry2: ) What other new tricks have you noticed on this album?

Now, I can't tell you if this is the proper video (I hope not, because I think it's TERRIBLE!), but here is it: http://current.com/items/89005477_viva_la_vida_music_video :lock::lock::lock::lock::lock::lock::lock::lock::lock:

COLDPLAY star CHRIS MARTIN is convinced "handsome" bandmate GUY BERRYMAN is solely responsible for the band's success - because girls and gay fans love him. Martin admits that while he and his other bandmates desperately try to "stay thin" and look good, the bass player oozes charm and cool. He tells Blender magazine, "My entire life is spent trying to push him forward at photo shoots. He's our packaging... He's a handsome bastard. "None of us pretend that if he wasn't in the band we'd be as popular. He's responsible for all our calendar sales." http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/article/handsome%20berryman%20credited%20for%20coldplay%20success%20-%20by%20the%…

Haha funny little story i found "It's okay to call your kid Chewbacca", says Chris Martin 11/07/2008 8:20:00 AM Coldplay frontman Chris Martin (father to Apple and Moses) has defended his wacky taste in kid's names, saying that even Chewbacca is an alright name for your kid. Love it! In an interview with Blender magazine, Chris reckons the fuss over naming babies is ridiculous - names are just noises you make with your mouth, anyway. "People make a big fuss over names," he says. "Names of babies, names of albums, names of bands. "There’s nothing weird about calling your baby Chewbacca if that’s what you want to call your baby. It’s no stranger than Sarah."…

Cedric You have given to us what we have been waiting for For this, we thank you :angel:

Most band lovers tend to overlook bassists' importance RECENTLY WE HAD SOME FAMILY and friends from out of town come by the house. Among the many visitors was Ms. Pat's son, Matthew, who is in a band. (I know you don't know Ms. Pat or her son, but just follow me.)Well, being the huge music buff that I am, we started talking about music. I shared my drummer list with him and, for the most part, he agreed with my choices. He then went on to say that bassists are actually the least promoted members of a band. I did see his point. Then, in my normal fashion, I began thinking about bassists. Here are the ones that I feel are the best of the best. 10. Tim Commerford - R…

Hello, Im sure you all remember what Prospekt was but Im interested another question......... who was Prospekt? Was It Debs Wild? Or one of the coldplay members maybe even Eno? Someone tell me because I want to no lol Viva La Vida Baby!!

Does Anyone think Guy resembles.... Novak Djokovic I personally think that with Guy's new haircut and "new look" they look like they could be cousins or Djokovic could be Guy's younger brother

from the recent news update involving the vote for your favorite ten, it would appear that the station has the names of all of the unreleased cut songs for Vida. anyone know more?? sorry if someones commented already
