Right...so, the end of the decade meant house cleaning for Coldplay, and for a few lucky (and wealthy? :P) Coldplayers, it meant taking home pieces of that memorabilia. Also, by month's end, we watched the boys become immortalized in yellow animation in the much anticipated appearance on The Simpsons. All the while, sending a message of hope to a quake-ridden Haiti. Soldiering on... JANUARY 1 Coldplayers spend over on £70,000 ($120,000) on End-of-Decade Clearout Sale If you recall, last December Coldplay held an auction to sell 10 years worth of their most treasured nostalgia and instruments, with all proceeds going to the charity Kids Company. Dedicat…

Coldplay's final video of the Viva la Vida era was nominated for best Breakthrough Video at this year's MTV Video Music Awards The music video for Strawberry Swing premiered on 4 Music and Channel 4 on 29 July 2009. The video was being scrutinized by the media for supposedly being "fake". Chris Martin, the frontman of Coldplay, did a live interview with CNN and provided documented proof from the record company. CNN anchor Bryan Lewis reportedly said "There is no way in hell this video could be fake. The artists took their time and created an incredible video." The music video prominently features stop animation, with vocalist Chris Martin against the ground on w…

So June 2010 in the world of Coldplay it is then. What happened? You'd be forgiven for putting your favourite band on the backburner as apparently June saw the entire globe go crazy for something called the World Cup which I vaguely recall come to mention it. We saw Roadie #42 return with two blogs in June. Will Champion revealed yet more irritations towards the band's record label EMI and Guy Berryman had an interesting month which saw the release of the deluxe edition of Apparatjik's debut album We Are Here and the creation of his own antique's dealing company alongside his brother Mark. Jon Hopkins came out of the shadows to talk about life with Coldplay to Coldplayzon…

"If anyone else likes it," he explained, "then that's a bonus". The core ingredi…
