May 21, 200917 yr :D haha but i guess his word counts alot as he plays every sing instument alive lol so he is musically talanted Oh yeah! Good point! I was liking 'looks most like a mugger'
May 21, 200917 yr Great ITV!!!! I can't believe we're never gonne be able to listen to LRLRL song! I loved how Chris phrased it "The song itself has been given the Will Champion seal of disapproval" :lol: And we're gonna have a music video for SS!!!!! The boys are spoiling us!!!!! This is so great!!! I am too tired and happy to think of another way of saying what you already put so well. Great interview indeed! :dance: Maybe one day we'll get LRLRL. Parts of "42" have been around a long time they said and in one interview Chris suggested the name "Carnival of idiots" to a person looking for a band name. That was in January 2007! So maybe he's right and parts of it will leave the Bakery one day!
May 21, 200917 yr Oh yeah! Good point! I was liking 'looks most like a mugger' If he mugged me, Id be so happy:P
May 21, 200917 yr Yeah, we've just done the video for Strawberry Swing, which is going to be pretty good, I think. AH SHIT! :dead: I so happy, I don't know what to say! :bigcry:
May 21, 200917 yr WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, there were so many exciting things in that interview that I don't know where to start!!!! Oh, I know... STRAWBERRY SWING VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!! *explodes* (sorry, I'm a little excitable because I'm seeing Coldplay today :P)
May 21, 200917 yr What is brilliant thing number two? Well, I'd like to talk about the film, Anvil, which is wonderful. It's about this heavy metal group from the '80s who are still going through thick and thin. There's a scene in it between the drummer and the singer which makes you cry, especially if you're in a band and you know what it feels like to love another man so much, but also fight so much. aaaaawwww.:\:\ cute You're currently a few dates into a new leg of the tour, after having a little break. Yeah, we've just done the video for Strawberry Swing, which is going to be pretty good, I think. Major YAY. I'm so excited about this one Brilliant interview. He sounds even more enthusiastic than usual :D
May 21, 200917 yr Strawberry Swing is my momma's favorite 'Viva La Vida' track :) and don't jump on me for saying this, but everytime I hear it, I think of how much she loves that track and my childhood and I start to tear up LITERALLY every time I hear it!! I put it on my playlist of songs that I played right before my wedding ceremony :D She's gonna be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO arfing thrilled to hear the news!!!!! Also... I LOVE that Delakota song!!! I would want a version of it without the singing though. My heart was soaring up until the guy started singing :\
May 21, 200917 yr I've noticed Chris has been pretty into Bruce Springsteen lately, and in an interview or something about a week or so, he mentioned something about "I'm on Fire," which is my favorite of his songs... ...Anyone remember what interview this was? I can't remember what he said about it. (Also, I recommend "I'm on Fire." It's a very good song) Thanks :)
May 21, 200917 yr Strawberry Swing video?? :wacky: :dead: I can't wait to see what they came up for that one!! :dance: And i'm kind of bummed about LRLRL (the track), but we all know that as long as Will doesn't like it that thing is gonna be locked up at the bakery. So i'm just gonna let it go, maybe one day they'll find a version of it that they'll all like :nice:
May 21, 200917 yr I'm sure there's TONS of stuff we haven't heard before that they'll put on a 'Greatest Hits' album years from now! :)

May 21, 200917 yr "Will Champion seal of disapproval." :lol: "Yeah, we've just done the video for Strawberry Swing, which is going to be pretty good, I think."I cannot wait to see it! Yay! "And we're hoping to get Bat For Lashes for some dates too. Her album, Two Suns, is my current favourite contemporary record." omfg I freakin love Bat For Lashes! That record is amazing! So cool to hear! "And Lily Allen's album. She's fantastic. She's one of those people who's so cool that whenever I meet her I feel like I'm back at school and none of the girls like me any more. She has that ability to make any boy feel like a tosser." Another artist and album I like...its pretty awesome to hear Chris likes them too. I now have the approval I didn't know I wanted lol.
May 23, 200917 yr Roadie #42 - Blog #81 May 23, 2009 11:43 pm #42 blogs on the way to Hartford Without getting all "life on the road" on you, I had forgotten just how fast things move out here. It feels as though I've barely had time to exhale and we're already a week into the new tour leg. It's not so much that time passes fast, as that lots gets packed into short spaces of time. I've already had two major equipment panics - quite possibly a hangover from our desert storm experience in Abu Dhabi. Touch wood, we made a rather neat, swift and full recovery, without any effect on the show whatsoever. Of course, roadie superstition states that making that kind of statement is tantamount to smashing a mirror whilst walking under a ladder to pass someone the salt, so don't be surprised if I make the next post from hospital (explaining about how I ruined the gig....) I'm writing on the way to Hartford, CT. Yesterday's day off saw a rather wonderful barbeque on the Berryman balcony. When I say balcony, I'm talking about a rather spiffing roof terrace high above the Manhattan streets. There was plentiful food, drink and good cheer. It was christened "Guystock" and apparently is going to become a yearly affair to rival Glastonbury. Quite how the hotel will feel about us trying to erect a pyramid stage up there in twelve months' time, I'm not sure. Given the way they've looked after us so far though, I can't see them batting an eyelid, to be honest. Inevitably, following a knees-up, there are a few achy-breaky heads today. Myself, I appear to have fallen on the wagon again. I do this from time to time and I have no idea why. For the moment though, I have no desire whatsoever for booze. This means I had a lovely evening yesterday, chatted to a few folks, watched the sun go down over NYC and then wandered back to my laptop to put together some video that I'm hoping to be slinging your way in a day or two. These first few gigs back have been excellent. Touring "Sheds" (outdoor amphitheatres) is always a joy, as is the American summertime. The B and C stages have taken on a whole new life in the different environment. The C-stage, particularly, is perhaps even more effective - especially when it's raining and the band are showing solidarity with the folks in the "cheap seats". Other notables recently have been getting a police escort IN to the Washington show. Definitely a first. I had thought we were being pulled over at first when I saw the flashing blues out the window beside me. Virginia Beach was accompanied by jet fighter fly-bys at very regular intervals. This wasn't too bad in the noisy numbers, but for the more quiet, intimate moments it was occasionally hard to ignore. Postcards From Far Away collapsed in a fit of giggles as the moment was truly lost. Atlanta brought us a visit from one of our oldest and dearest road friends. Always a joy to see folks on the way around, but never enough time.... Anyways, Brian and Debbie, we all love ya's very much.... I'm pretty much used to gigs in the outdoors again now. Always having a jacket to hand is obviously rule number one - not only does it get pretty cold by the end of the gig, but rain often drops in to say hello. I also seem to attract more than my share of local airborne wildlife stage left, mainly due to the proliferation of computer screens at my station. I spent seconds panicking at the last show working out why the pointer on my laptop screen was going berserk before realising that it was in fact a mosquito banging it's head against the screen trying to fly into the sun. So there we have it. Life continues apace, but things are good. Almost at the gig now and it looks like it may be a wet one.... http://www.coldplay.com/newsdetail.php?id=404
May 23, 200917 yr [ I ] wandered back to my laptop to put together some video that I'm hoping to be slinging your way in a day or two. :dance: Sounds gooooood!! And now I'm totally overcharged with where to check first! The concert thread, twitter and coldplay.com - all busy places! I LOVE IT! :heart:

May 24, 200917 yr About the interview with Chris - I was actually thinking about buying the Lily Allen album, so that my Chris approves it only makes it better. :D On the #42 blog - The mosquito thing gives a really funny image. I'm amazed by how honest he is even when talking about the booze. :stunned: @Zoe - Miller took a picture of you and Liz?! :shocked2:
May 26, 200917 yr question for you...i am going to the show tonight in Camden, NJ and wondering if you knew what time they have been taking the stage so i know what time to be there...THANKS SO MUCH for any advice you have
