Coldplay

a present for you all! this was recorded straight from Radio 1 on a digital radio in linear PCM, then encoded to a 320kbps mp3 using LAME. i cut the first few seconds of the intro where there was still speaking from the dj, and i cut the last second or so of the outro for the same reason - other than that i'm happy with the quality of the rip :) enjoy it! http://s28.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2O4UXCZTF3B8X2BTWO95IEE6E9 kath

saw this topic on the official board and thought it was cool, so i decided to post one here. so whatever you have, tell us and post picture if you can. as for myself i have my wonderful limited edition signed coldplay lithograph. it WAS supposed to be personalized, but meh, i can sell if for more. (just kidding, i know you'd kill me ;) :P ). :D number 8 out of 500 :P my favourite part of the whole thing is the holographic sticker in the corner (you can't see it that well!). :lol: :P and i got a handwritten congratulations letter from holly tickett (someone who works with coldplay). beat that :sneaky:

SOME ONE SEND IT TO ME PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Yay! On edge 102! I assume they will be playing it all day long. And it's only 9:45am :) edit: i changed the name of this topic to avoid being killed by this board.

Its coming on in 3 minutes!! http://www.edge.ca I'm listening...

I'm outside the UK and on the official site there are instructions to send a text to get the realtone for SoS. After I send the message, my phone says that it was delivered, but now what am I supposed to do???

Im going crazy!!!!!! :confused: Where? :(

Don't know if this has been posted yet but here's a link explaining the artwork. http://www.stereoboard.com/artistnews/news-1023.html

are gonna come to latin america?? why it's so complicated to them??? we are expected them here since the first album was realised!!

hey debs has just announced over on official.......... Chris & Jonny will be hand delivering the new Coldplay single, Speed Of Sound to Steve Lamacq during his show on Monday 18th April. The track will get it's first airplay here from 9pm. To listen online visit http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/ You can find Radio 1 at 97-99fm yyyyyyaaaaaaaaayyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the coldplay.com/x&y page? There's that little clip of a show, but it looks to me like it could be the video, as it goes along with the studio version of the SoS. If it is, that would fit in with my prediction awhile ago that it will be a performance video :cool:

I thought this was interesting. We have confirmed that the B- Side for Speed of Sound is Proof. This is also the title of the next Paltrow movie. Check out the premise. Premise: "Proof" follows a devoted daughter (Paltrow) who comes to terms with the death of her father (Hopkins) a brilliant mathematician whose genius was crippled by mental insanity -- and is forced to face her own long-harbored fears and emotions. She adjusts to his death with the help of one of her father's former mathematical students (Gyllenhaal) who searches through her father's notebooks in the hope of discovering a bit of his old brilliance. While coming to terms with the possibility that h…

I called 'em today to see about what time they thought they would get SoS on the air and they said tomorrow morning will be the first play, then all day long! Thats certainly not 4:20 pm!

i know they are playing sos at 9 pm tomorrow but is that 9 pm in the U.S. or 5 P.M or something totally different. Can somebody please help me

If you read news on this site regularly you probably saw that the band sold a sample of their single to Cingular and are going to be part of Cingular's new ad campagin. Does this bother anyone? Maybe it shouldn't, but it definetely bothers me.... I can't imagine being in a band as important as Coldplay and making the decision that you want to associate yourself with a wireless company... makes the song lose its meaning... any one else feel this way?

Now that Coldplay will be back in the mainstream spotlight, do you think they will get compared more to Radiohead or U2? I think U2 because now they are bigger than Radiohead, and trying to eclipse U2.

Yup, I have it. But I'm only giving it to Sidious...are you ready to recieve fake yousendit links?? ?

so now that we think we know what the artwork means, do you think there's anything else to it? do you think there's more meaning behind it than just code language, or perhaps that there are multiple meanings to the artwork, and we've only just uncovered one layer of it? or is this it, the mystery stops here, and its merely the album title in pretty looking coded squares? i personally would like to think there's more to it than that, just because i like the mystery of it.

I read on an article(cant find it anymore) that coldplay is going to make a total of 5 albums. does anyone know if this is true?

are there any new t-shirts, buttons, hats, etc. to be purchased yet? or has anyone made any "X&Y" clothing of their own? i need to make or buy something soon...

http://www.oor.nl/download_shop.asp?page=http://data.oor.nl/hostedshops/oor/view_album.aspx~bundle_id=6077 here you can see the artwork (not very clear) and the track length is 4.46

Don't know how accurate this information is, but I thought it should be shared. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. "Speed of Sound" "Speed of Sound" is the first single from Coldplay's third album, X&Y. In April 2005, the single was first released as a purchasable ringtone. It will make its radio premiere on BBC Radio 1 with Steve Lamacq on the evening of Monday, 18 April 2005. However, a 30-second clip of the song is already available for download as a mobile phone ringtone from Cingular Wireless. Beginning with a piano riff reminsicent of Coldplay's "Clocks", the song builds into a huge, synth-heavy chorus: "Birds go flying at the speed of sound, to s…

Yay! In the post this morning was sheet music of In My Place signed by all the band! I am very happy- you gotta love ebay...and credit cards! Now i just have to hang it on my wall.......
