Tis the season to be jolly...

 

A CHRISTMAS GIFT FROM COLDPLAY

Hello and welcome to a festive edition of the Messenger. As a special thanks for all your support this year, we've just unveiled a couple of Christmas treats at Coldplay.com. Click here to go to the site and download a free MP3 of the belting Thin White Duke remix of Viva La Vida (it's available until January 5th). You can also watch a film of the band performing Jingle Bells with Simon Pegg at one of last week's London O2 shows. Silly Christmas headgear ahoy!

 

 

WIN A RARE SIGNED PROMO LP

We wanted a special prize for our Christmas edition, so we've been saving this one. When the Viva La Vida album was released, Coldplay asked for some promo copies to be pressed up on vinyl. Just 350 copies were made and we have one to give away to you folks. Even better, it will be fully signed by the band. If you'd like to win it, simply email your details to [email protected] before January 5th. Just one entry per person, please.

 

 

And that's it for this edition. All that's left is for us to wish you a cracking Christmas and a tip-top 2009.

NEW SINGLE, NEW VIDEO, NEW TWITTER

 

LITii TO BE SINGLE

 

Hello and welcome to the first Messenger of 2009. We hope you all had a nice festive break. Today's edition begins with the news that Coldplay's next UK single will be Life In Technicolor ii, as taken from the Prospekt's March EP. The track will be released on Monday 2nd February on 7-inch vinyl and digital bundle. The B-side of the 7-inch will be a brand new song called The Goldrush, while the digital bundle will contain The Goldrush, plus Life In Technicolor ii (Live @ The O2, London). You can pre-order the 7-inch single, wherever you live, by clicking here. Or, if you'd like to try before you buy, you can hear the track on Coldplay's official MySpace profile, here.

 

LITii VIDEO PREMIERE NEXT WEEK

 

In other LITii news, the video for the single will premiere on the 4Music channel in the UK at 7pm on Tuesday 20th January. Later that night, at 12.10am, the video will be shown on Channel 4. For those of you in the rest of the world, the video will pop up on Coldplay.com very shortly after its TV premiere. If you'd like a sneak preview of what looks like being one of Coldplay's best videos yet, then click here to see some stills at Coldplay.com. (Yes, puppets!)

 

HEADING TOWARDS AWARDS

 

On Saturday (17th Jan), Chris and his trusty piano will be heading to Cannes, France to perform Lost? (the acoustic version) at the 2009 NRJ Awards, where Coldplay are up for three gongs. Then, on 8th February, the whole band will be playing at the Grammy Awards ceremony in LA, America, where Coldplay have been shortlisted for seven awards. For all the Grammys broadcast details, and to see a new image of the band made up from songs which they chose as inspirations, click here.

 

STOP, TWITTER TIME

 

If it's good enough for Barack Obama, Stephen Fry and MC Hammer , then it's good enough for us. Yes, we've joined the twitter revolution by setting up the official Coldplay twitter feed at www.twitter.com/coldplay. Pop over there to read little Coldplay updates at regular intervals (which, for those unfamiliar with it, is essentially what twitter is for).

 

WIN A SIGNED LIFE IN TECHNICOLOR ii 7-INCH

 

Following our ridiculously popular Christmas competition (congrats to Lorenzo in Alessandria, Italy, who bagged the rare signed promo album), we've got another giveaway for you. We're going to get the band to sign a copy of the Life In Technicolor ii 7-inch. If you'd like to win it, then simply email your details to [email protected] before January 27th. Just one entry per person, please.

GRAMMY AND BRITS COVERAGE ON

COLDPAY.COM

Head over to Coldplay.com this coming Sunday (8th Feb) and on Wednesday 18th February, when we'll be offering live, behind-the-scenes updates from the Grammys and Brit Awards respectively. Join us to find out if the band win anything, who they're sitting next to and that sort of thing. Should be fun.

 

 

EXCLUSIVE JONNY INTERVIEW

Since we were last in touch, Coldplay.com has posted an exclusive interview with Mr Jonny Buckland, in which he discusses the fact that the band have been back in the studio with Brian Eno. Click here to read it. While you're on the site, check out The Oracle's lastest answers to your questions, plus a couple of revealing new blogs from Roadie #42.

 

 

WIN A SIGNED THING FROM THE GRAMMYS

We're not exactly sure what the prize to our latest Messenger competition is, but when the band go to the Grammys on Sunday, they've promised to grab a souvenir of some sort, sign it and bring it back to Coldplay HQ for us to send to one of you. It may be napkin, it may be a programme, heck it may even be a Grammy (though that's probably a little unlikely). If you'd like to win our mystery prize, email [email protected] before Wednesday 18th February.

 

 

Until next time...
