February 10, 200917 yr Article about Coldplay translated from here: http://www.elmanana.com.mx/notas.asp?id=103673 The best prize of Chris Martin was given by life , he says, because he has two kids that he adores and a wife who he loves deeply. After receiving three Grammy Awards Sunday night, including the Song of the Year, for "Viva la Vida," The English said that he feels happy for the recognition. "It's a great honor to be recognized by your colleagues themselves. I was very excited, but honestly, I must say that the greatest reward of my life is my family. " I have some amazing children and a wonderful wife. I feel very fortunate, blessed, I think there's no better prize than that, have people who love you and the people you love because you gave them life,"said the lead singer from Coldplay after Delivery of the 51 Grammy. Married to actress Gwyneth Paltrow since December 2003, Christopher Anthony John Martin, his name is Apple Blythe father of 4 years, and Moses Bruce, 2. The musician, aged 31, he regretted not stop winning awards with four other peers, as Coldplay meets a total of seven Grammy nominations. "Nothing is why sorry. We recognize, if something had happened there, because the history of music is how it is. Robert Plant is an extraordinary musician, a legend," he said, referring to the maximum winner, along with Alison Krauss, with five gramophones. Guy Berryman, Will Champion and Jonny Buckland, along with his partner, Martin, said to be very positive going on a streak as musicians after the success of their album "Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends."

The English quartet, creator of hits like "Clocks" and "Yellow," will begin its part of the current tour in Japan this week and said its members feel motivated to continue working.

February 10, 200917 yr He actually talked about Gwyneth .... or was something lost in translation? :shocked2:
February 10, 200917 yr He didn't mention her by name and my Spanish isn't great but "esposa maravillosa" is definitely wonderful wife.
February 10, 200917 yr He didn't mention her by name and my Spanish isn't great but "esposa maravillosa" is definitely wonderful wife. Hehehe, then I also have a "esposa maravillosa"! :D
February 10, 200917 yr He didn't mention her by name and my Spanish isn't great but "esposa maravillosa" is definitely wonderful wife. well, ok ... sounds a bit like Gwyneth sang to Girls Aloud on the phone though. I just want it to be true ;) (not the singing ...)
February 10, 200917 yr "We are keen to continue working. We do not know about an available date in Mexico, we love Mexico, we want to be there," said Berryman. Chris said the same thing last year :/

February 10, 200917 yr I’m pretty much happy to ignore this year’s Grammys completely: Kokayi didn’t win, Stevie Wonder suffered the indignity of sharing a stage with the Jonas Brothers, and I won’t even get started on the bizarre Chris Brown/Rihanna incident that took place the night before the ceremony. But there’s one moment of Sunday’s telecast that I just can’t get out of my head. While accepting one of the skrillion Grammys that Coldplay nabbed, Chris Martin said, “We’re not, of course, the heaviest of rock bands, you may have noticed. We’re kind of the limestone of rock bands. Not as hard, but still charming.” Gotta love the Brits and their self-deprecating “humour,” but c’mon-limestone isn’t exactly granite or anything, but isn’t it used in the construction of buildings? If Martin is going to try to be all cute and self-effacing, he should go all out: if he wants to compare his band to a soft rock, he should really reference the softest rock known to man. But what rock would that be? Because my science schoolin’ ended in the 10th grade, I turned to the Reston-based U.S. Geological Survey, our country’s foremost authority on minerals and rocks, and asked for help. I initially thought Coldplay should be compared to talc, not only because talc is extremely soft, but because I like the idea of comparing the band to one of the essential ingredients in baby powder. But it turns out that talc is a mineral, not a rock, according to Kate Johnson, program coordinator of the USGS Mineral Resources Program. Johnson graciously indulged my geology-related music question and sent me a very helpful e-mail pointing me to a table (taken from a resource titled Principles of Engineering Geology) that lists the relative hardness of rocks. According to that table, limestone is indeed one of the softest rocks around, second only to shale. “[Y]ou can see that although limestone isn’t very hard, shale is even less hard,” Johnson wrote. “So, from this we can learn that although limestone is categorized as a soft rock, shale is an even softer rock.” “Summary: the softest mineral is talc; shale is a very soft rock. But limestone is definitely a soft rock, too. Good call by Mr. Martin, I’d say,” she concluded. So, as it turns out, Chris Martin knows a thing or two about rock–well, sedimentary rock, at least. http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com This is what happens when someone runs out of things to write about.
February 10, 200917 yr yeah, it's a Springstein lyric from Working on a Dream Oh wow, thanks for the info! Hahha, can he do that though especially since it's during the grammy's or whatever? I thought you had to get permission to sing someone else's song (at least when it's televised or something). But nonetheless, loved it. For the concert here at the Honda Center in November he started singing the Killers - Human. But

February 10, 200917 yr yeah, it's a Springstein lyric from Working on a Dream Thanks a lot. Maybe that inspired their postcards from far away song

My earth science professor was talking about limestone in lecture today and I nearly started cracking up. And then after class, my friend said to me, "My teacher in high school said that limestone dissolves when submerged in water! Isn't that crazy?" HA! How apporpriate. :laugh3:
February 11, 200917 yr :stunned: ... That has to be either misquoted or mistranslated :P EDIT: not saying that his kids aren't amazing/ wife isn't wonderful, I was referring to the fact that he mentioned them ;) Just read the article in spanish and that's not a translation error.... :stunned: So my guess is that they interviewed someone else and just wrote it as Chris Martin saying it....... that or they drugged him :P
February 11, 200917 yr Well I don't think he's too bothered about talking about them in general. He happily mentioned the pancakes thing on radio last week. I think it's the details that bother him.
February 11, 200917 yr Author Just read the article in spanish and that's not a translation error.... :stunned: So my guess is that they interviewed someone else and just wrote it as Chris Martin saying it....... that or they drugged him :P Or we've just witnessed another tipsy-Chris interview :lol:
