That would be nice, but I doubt that is what they'll do. Maybe they are planning on making the entire VLV experience interactive.

 

Whatever it is, it can't come soon enough.

 

Oooo interactive would be fun. What if some crazy VLV puzzle started on the 21st?.... And with 42 pieces to the puzzle :P

i'd be extremely happy for the single to be VLV with (2) b-sides! that's now what i'm hoping for, because i'm beginning to really agree with the idea that if anything else is going to be leaked, it should be the ENTIRE album.

 

if we got another single this week that would be our 4th song which is almost half the album.

 

^that really makes sense to me.

 

anyway, i'm more concerned with the global initiative thing rather than the single. that's what is really interesting, because i think it's somehow connected to all these songs that didn't make the album that we've heard about and seen several places. i don't even care if we don't get them on wednesday...i'd just like to know exactly what they intend to do with them and when and how we'll get them :D

personally i hope they are just talking about a formal release of viva la vida or something. i think a 3rd single is too much. idk about you guys but i don't want this album to be COMPLETELY spoiled before it actually comes out. if we got another single this week that would be our 4th song which is almost half the album. i think best case scenario would be viva la vida with a b-side. along with that big global announcement. but i think getting 42 now would be a complete spolier! just my opinion though...

i agree. don't get me wrong, i'd love to hear more new songs, but if they have another one we've practically listened to a third of the album before we actually have it. I think what makes an album so special is the first time you listen to the songs together without having any clue what to expect. Like X&Y first listen was a great experience because i had not heard any of the songs before the album came out (except SOS because it was the single)

Yes I agree, especially since they claim this is supposed to be a shorter album than the others. I love hearing it all for the first time in one sitting, its like listening to a story being sung :)

you're very right guys!!! the fact that we've heard many songs of the album, makes me think there will be another album with b-sides or more songs!!!

hope its famous old painters

The announcement with global reach is NOT the euro cup football thing. Seriously, and I really don't want to sound conceited or crass... But global reach HAS to include the US and NOBODY here cares about soccer/football... At all.

 

I am hoping for something much cooler :)

I have to respectively disagree with you on this. In the past several years, there has been a major surge in support of soccer related activities here in the United States.

 

Take for example, the addition of David Beckham to the Los Angeles team. I know a fair amount of women have started paying attention to soccer for this reason alone. Let's face it, ladies like to see shirtless, sweaty, athletic men. My alma mater has grown their soccer program tenfold over the past ten years. I think that this is happening in many affluent areas that are supported by international businesses. Now, this could just be coincidence, but I doubt it.

They are announcing they are playing a Vancouver gig! Sorry Im bitter about them skipping Van City.

 

I could see them announcing that the album will have a "by donation" download option and it will be up on June 11th. (First International release date) Although that could be hard cause of EMI and all that Jazz...As well as the digital album experience. Or maybe they'll pull a Reznor and drop an entire album of the B-sides...that would be a good appy to the album and kick ass too.

 

I can also see them announcing yet another free gig somewhere on the west coast of N.A. or in Japan/Australia.

 

The last thing i can see is them posting up a VLA video and announcing a hard copy with a few B-Sides.

 

So many possibilities that I myself would be happy with.

Oh no I understand. I personally love the sport. It is still a LONG way from becoming popular though. And the Euro Cup is very blah for most of us. Now the world cup :) gimmee some of that!

tour dates in germany (or europe in general) please! :rolleyes:

Maybe the release of the kylie/coldplay song:)

Maybe the release of the kylie/coldplay song:)

 

YEAHH I forgot about that! That would be fun, maybe even some Timberland stuff, too? What if they just released (or announced the release date of) all their extra material? AHH hurry up Wednesday! :lol:

Well maybe they are releasing the toronto dvd? this would fit the square one vid being revealed in 2 days oO ?

good idea dRafT!!

although I'd much rather get UK tour dates!!

I remember that they announced there will be a discographical initiative, so I think it won't be tour dates but some new release like a single or an EP with many tracks... I hope it's so! cause tour dates make some people very happy and other ones not, instead a worldwide release is a good news for everyone...

Special edition of the Hardest Part with a limited cover of the old woman from the video, only half price!

Folks, I have a feeling the surprise will be the B-Sides announcement, with the release of perhaps Postcards from Far Away. If you look at the puzzle unfolding over at the Brixton extras page, that seems to be the only B-Side lyrics revealed. :cool:

 

Poppy Fields can be seen also :D

Plus Prospekt's March and Glass of Water

no its just thom yorke

Can't wait until Wednesday! Champions League final AND a big Coldplay announcement. Maybe they will be linked somehow?

ha maybe. except coldplay don't even seem to be bothering with england at the moment!

 

buggering off to the states, leaving us craving them!

 

doubt they'd even know about the all-english final!

Can't wait until Wednesday! Champions League final AND a big Coldplay announcement. Maybe they will be linked somehow?

 

maybe!:sneaky:

That's tomorrow :dance:

i don think they will release another single before the album release, because prospekt said when he announce the tracklist that they hoped to release one or two singles before the album.

they did, even two (more than the minimum, very rare for coldplay!), with violet hill and viva la vida...

but who knows after all, just my opinion
