Why do they play the exact same news every half an hour? Every hour would be better surely.

I noticed that when I listen to UK radio online... why is it that they have the same exact news? They should change it up at least a bit. I have kind of learned to block it out though.

Yay for Death And All his Friends! Steve and I have the same taste!! Although I would've guessed with Will about Chinese Sleep Chant...:cool:

Aye, it was. But they've known Steve for a while.

 

I love the thought of an AB/CD tee :nice:

Chris Martin Gives the Cold(play) Shoulder

Fri Jun 13, 4:55 AM ET

Los Angeles (E! Online) - If the best way to measure the growth of a band is by the tantrums thrown by its frontman, then Coldplay just reached the next plateau of their career.

 

Adding "the music" to the list of topics that are off-limits to query him on (joining wife Gwyneth Paltrow and their kids as interview no-fly zones), the otherwise mellow Chris Martin stormed out of a radio interview with the BBC Thursday, claiming the interviewer was "journalistically twisting" his words and that he was flat-out "not really enjoying this."

 

Read on to hear the moment the hissy fit hit...

 

Martin's boiling point came just nine minutes into the piece, and he left fellow bandmate Will Champion to finish out the majority of the interview before returning to answer one final question.

 

The duo was being interviewed by John Wilson for BBC Radio 4's cultural arts program, Front Row, when Wilson began a line of questioning related to the title of Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, and the band's presumed preoccupation with death.

 

"I wouldn't agree with you there at all, no," Martin said. "I'd say you're journalistically twisting me into saying something I don't really mean."

 

A few minutes later, Wilson asked about the lyrics of "Viva La Vida," the first single. After some shifting at the microphone, Martin said he was "not really enjoying this" and asked if he could take two minutes before getting up and walking out of the studio.

 

"I just don't really like having to talk about things," he said.

 

"Have I upset him?" Wilson asked Champion. "I don't think I said anything consciously..."

 

"No, I don't think so," the drummer said without missing a beat and answering the question posed to his bandmate.

 

The interview fared no better at the start (or end, for that matter), when Wilson at the outset asked Martin about comments he made at an awards show back in 2005 in which he said the group would be away "for a very long time."

 

"I always say stupid things, and I think Radio 4 is the place that will most remind me of that," he said.

 

Upon his brief return to the studio at the end of the show, he was asked a seemingly banal question about finding "new musical territory" on the new album.

 

"Um...yes, yes, yes...exactly."

 

Viva la moodiness.

 

Martin has a chance to redeem himself with the broadcasting giant later today, as he's scheduled to appear on another radio show on a separate BBC station.

i'm doing the "listen again" option on the BBC player...how exactly do you save it with the realplayer like tracie said? i'm almost positive i have that, but i can't figure out how to save it that way.

I know I've saved files from BBC7 this way, but it was a year ago, so I'll have to remember WTF I did,lol.

haha, ok, well if you figure it out, it would be great if you could let me know! you can only fast forward by 5 or 15 minutes, so i think i totally missed the first bit of the interview, and i'd much rather just save the thing :D

Hmmm...maybe each channel's sites are different. If it's not already in MM, I can rip it for you.

No problem. I buggered it up, so you'll have to wait a bit longer, but if someone else hasn't upped it in an hour-ish, I'll do it. Most of the Brits on here are probably asleep by now,lol.

 

EDIT: Don't hate me, but I'm editing out the new tracks for those who are still 'spoiler-free' (all two of them,lol.)

noo don't edit it out! that wouldn't be any good! well, *sigh* thanks Tracie!

Sorry...too late. I'm sure someone will post it in completion sooner or later, and there really are a few people who don't want to hear the songs til next week.:) I don't like hearing the songs cut off either, but this way I can post without breaking the rules,lol.

 

It'll be up in MM shortly.

Just heard the interview, so good. :nice:

 

See, when you put the guys at ease they tell you cool things. When you tick them off and twist their words and get really tough with the questions, they get freaked out and forget about even the things they normally talk about.

 

I love how Lammo's such a music geek- even when he tries to ask pointed questions, he'd really rather go off on a tangent about cool random music-y stuff.
