sorry but breaking news to me would be a new album release date... or Guy running the marathon pics (sorry i'll stop now)

 

but it is good news... just whished they would do the same in holland... but they don't...

I'm really liking the music they've used. LIT, DAAHF's and now they just played knights of cydonia.

I think that was Clocks just now in an Olympics Visa commercial.

of course, i've never heard a coldplay song in the olympics :dozey:. nor have i ever heard a song i recognize, i don't think :thinking:

 

but i did just hear some song in NBC's coverage that was remarkably coldplayish, and i actually stopped for half a second to wrack my brain to see if it was a coldplay song :lol:

Nice!!

So, has Coldplay won the music competition in the Olympics??:P

Hey! That happened to me too.

 

I dunno. It kind of sounded like Clocks stripped down.

 

But it wasn't.

I know I heard Clocks during some portion of the olympics. Im pretty sure they used it during some women's competition thing (maybe gymnastics, but not so sure). i was also way excited when they were playing the dandy warhols. NBC is using lots of great music this year. and DC was going insane when Phelps won his first gold. A bunch of people were from Maryland too (his hometown) so everyone was really excited. And seeing Ian Thorpe as Phelps became the winningest olympic athlete in history --- priceless!

there Is an iPhone commercial that starts off much like viva... Gets me every time

oh i just heard a really lame girly cover of don't panic before a cut to an ad break. blech! why not just use the original? lol

i sware i heard a coldplay song when the diving was coming on...but i couldnt catch what song it was

Waow it's really a Coldplay Olympic Fest.

Muse in the olympics is almost the bigger story. I haven't been watching nonstop and in two days I've heard knights of cydonia, starlight and time is running out.

I've just heard 'life in technicolor' played over the news of the day on the beeb.

I heard Lost! :dance:

Haha! I was watching gymnastics the other day and I thought I heard Life in Technicolor playing in the background... I guess it really was Life in Technicolor then!

They are not banned.They are popular in China.No wonder we can hear a lot of Coldplay songs in the Beijing Olympics.

but are the chinese playing coldplay music or the british/american channels?

Anyone hear VLV before the Canada vs. USA hockey game today? ;)

They were playing Viva la Vida as the athletes left the stadium after the closing ceremony.

they played VLV several times during these Olympics: Hockey, figure skating....during intermissions

Anyone hear VLV before the Canada vs. USA hockey game today? ;)

 

I did!!!!

Go Canada!...oh wait...we won...:sneaky::dozey::rolleyes:

Anyone hear VLV before the Canada vs. USA hockey game today? ;)

 

When I heard it, it made me even more excited, and trust me, I was pretty excited during the game already. Always great to hear Coldplay unexpectedly.
