the GAP last week while I was at the mall.. At first I was like "It can't be.." but yes it was.. I was surprised that a store can get a hold of b-sides and play them in the store..it also started as soon as I walked in.. good stuff, have anyone else heard non coldplay singles or b-sides while out??

that's so cool that you heard that song (it's a great one) The only song I ever heard at a store was speed of sound (I swear that song haunts me...)

thats SO cool!!! i want to go in there just to hear it now (good thing gap is my life [for clothes]). ive heard SoS all over the place, and other A-sides, but thats SO cool. i think gap does that a lot, because i hear snow patrol and killers b-sides in there a lot

once i heard spies at h&m :\

I heard Low at the mall... right when X&Y came out. :blush:

Ah...this just makes me think about when I went shopping right after christmas and I've gotta have been in at least 10 different stores and EVERY SINGLE ONE played songs from X&Y, and the b-sides to the singles. My friends had to drag me out :D :nice:

at the GAP?! hmm i'm gonna have to do more shopping there...:P

Isn't it funny how you'll hear just a few notes of a song and immediatly your brain recognizes it as Coldplay? At least, that's how it is with me...like the first second of the song will be on and you know it's them. I think my senses are programmed to their music.

I recently bought a copy of the Talk single with Sleeping Sun on it...maybe they did too? That would be cool.

Haha, same here! I can hear Coldplay from miles. :laugh3:

They just released a special edition of X&Y in North America that has all of the X&Y b-sides on it... they were selling it in my local FutureShop on Monday, so maybe someone at that Gap got ahold of that edition and shuffled it into the mix?

yes it is weird...My friends always look at me funny when I start to freak out because a Coldplay song is about to start :D

Nothing to do with anything, but I love your sig picture! And all this time I thought it was SLVR :laugh4:

Yeah, I feel the same way. Sometimes when I'm out, no matter if shopping or anywhere else, and I hear the beginning of a Coldplay song, I just listen and pay attention and say "Coldplay" and my friends look at me and say "What?" and I say "It's Coldplay.. a song.." although it was just the first tune or anything.

I kinda freeze for a second and my hearing senses heighten :lol: I point my finger in the air and proclaim "that's Coldplay you see!" to who ever is with me :laugh3:

 

One time I was with my mum at Sears :lol: and in the cosmetics section there is a M.A.C booth and they were playing The Hardest Part which striked me as odd since it wasn't a single at the time. (beginning of X&Y era)

Gah, I haven't been as lucky. All I can remember is hearing SoS at the mall and Trouble at McDonald's a couple years ago.

 

I was super excited about Trouble because I'd heard it for the first time just a few days before... Man.

Yeah' date=' I feel the same way.

haha, thats EXACTLY what I do. "Coldplay" and then weird looks "Coldplay song... on now"

^^I know, same here. :laugh4:

And then you start moving towards where the music comes from (at least that's what I do...can't stand around when there's Coldplay being played somewhere :lol: ) and your friends look at you like

But, you know, that's what you gotta stand when you're among the...chosen ones. lol :p

 

I don't think I've ever heard any B-Sides in shops etc...

^ Well, they don't play Coldplay in Austrian shops anyway, honey, right? ;) They do sometimes, but most of them probably don't even know what a b-side means..

I was passing by American Eagle Outfitters and I pulled my friends in cos Fix You was playing and I wouldn't shop there, so the only reason I would go in there is for Coldplay :P So, I go looking up at the ceiling wondering where the speakers are..cos really, I want to hear the song as loud as I can! (even if it means standing in the guys section staring up at the speaker :D)

LOL. That's probably true, yeah...

We should have a word with some shopkeepers..."Hey, you should really play some Coldplay B-Sides!" - " :freak: "

 

 

But I do hear Coldplay in shops here and there *nods*

I dunno why, but Humanic for example (the one in the Europark here) plays them really quite often :pleased:

Well, I go to the fuckin' EMI Music Store a lot, as no other shops have the Coldplay singles on time, and when I ask for the new single, the first reaction is "Cold - who?", then I say the band's name again and then they say "A new single? Haven't heard of that yet. Are you sure?" and I say "OF COURSE I'M SURE YOU WANKERS" (well, not exactly like that, but kinda ;) ), then they check the computer and ask a hundred times how the song is written and THEN they tell me they don't have it yet.. Aaargh

^^LOL!

Oh man...I know that situation so well, though. I almost had a row with a guy at Saturn once. :laugh4: Think it was when SOS or Fix You came out...

Often I can't get hold of the singles here anyway and I have to order them over Amazon then...

^ Yeah, Saturn is quite slow as well.. They get the single 1-2 weeks after it came out..

They used to play Moses at my work every 4 hours or so, I would get so excited when I heard Nora Jones because I knew Coldplay was next, haha, I dont even like Nora Jones, but I would run into the bathroom where it was quiet and listen to Coldplay hahah.
