Did I hear that there were gonna be two new releases in the next year *faints*....**automated message follows: Nice news for a sunday afternoon :dance: :dance:**

My vote is for 'silly sausage',lol. I wouldn't worry.

 

ANd yeah, that's what I want from Santa too...although I'd rather sit on Chris's lap and tell HIM what I want for Chris -tmas!:lol:

 

HEAR HEAR. :D:D:D

Will verified that they were discussing the title of the EP and Guy and Jonny seemed to agree also so I'm guessing Prospekt's March will definitely be released this year.

 

I'm a bit worried by Chris's obsession with getting another album out by "the end of the decade". Not worried worried, but sort of confused. It seems like a major change from their recent recording schedules, i.e. 2/3 year gaps between albums. And considering that they'll probably be touring into 2009 with possibly some huge stadium dates if Roadie 42's musings are to be believed, then where is this other album going to come from? And what's going to happen after 2010 - why is Chris so obsessed with getting to the end of the decade and then disappearing into a cloud of hash. Is he just being a silly sausage like he always is, or do they actually have something MAJOR MAJOR planned for after that? I have no idea, but I wish I did.

 

I know, a lot of the stuff said in those two interviews pointed to that being the plan. Chris said that they work so intensely on being in the band that it comes before everything else and that it can't last forever, with them all being fathers I guess they have to think of their kids and partners, it makes sense I suppose. Guy said he didn't want to be doing it for the rest of his life either.

 

However I don't think that A) They'll get an album ready for 2009, unless they put out something that is half hearted and rushed and B) Once that time comes that they'll be willing to give it all up.

 

They'll only be in their mid thirties is far too early to retire, right?

 

Chris Martin Reveals New Album Details

 

31 August 2008 - Yesterday two of the biggest bands in the world went head to head on BBC 6music as Coldplay chatted to Michael Stipe [pictured] live in the studio with Steve Lamacq.

 

Following reports that Coldplay planned to release a record this year it fell on Stipe to get to the bottom of the rumours: “Is it true?” he asked. To which Martin replied:

 

“We’re going to put an EP out at Christmas called Prospekts March and we’re going to release an album next December to end the decade.”

 

Martin then turned to Will Champion and asked: “Is it [the EP] called Prospekts March or Prospects Song?” Before adding: “Lets ask Michael Stipe!”

“We’re going to put an EP out at Christmas called Prospekts March and we’re going to release an album next December to end the decade.” Chris Martin - Coldplay

Stipe preferred Prospekts March and the band agreed.

 

This EP will come only months after Coldplay's 4th studio album Viva La Vida which was released in June this year. But as previously reported, the band recorded so much material during the writing of Viva La Vida they had more than enough for one album.

 

Both REM and Coldplay were gearing up for shows in London last night (Saturday 30 th August). Coldplay played the BBC Radio Theatre and REM closed their show at the Twickenham Stadium.

 

The two acts have been friends for years and Stipe gave a full endorsement of Coldplay’s music: “For me, having been around for 28 years, doing this, I’m thrilled when a band like Coldplay come along," he said and then continued gushing:

 

"I think great! Here are some contemporaries I respect what they do and they’re really smart fun people great people to be around and they’re very close friends.”
