JustSpies84 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I don't know if anyone going to this show could help me... ..Is anyone going also volunteering for Oxfam? Do you know if any more volunteers are needed, or if there is a shortage of them? Because I was considering making a trip up there, even more so if there was a shortage of Oxfam volunteers. I've been wanting to work for them again, but I don't know how to find out if they're in need of more people or not.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jelynch2 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 im game! :wideeyed: but i was gonna wear my coldplay shirt so maybe not synchronized shirts but i would definitly do something else! :P Awesome!! I'm going to wear my yellow t-shirt I'm making, but I was hoping we could do the glowstick thing. I was going to buy a TON of them before the show (and when I say TON - I mean a few hundred) and hand them out to anyone who wanted one. I'm out in the lawn, so at least a few hundred of us out there will be decked out in glow bracelets. Where are your seats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be with my mom and two friends. I just bought 150 glow bracelets (only red, white, and blue - because they were sold out of the multicolored) today at this really cheap store near here and I'll be passing them out for FREE to anyone in the lawn near me. So...if you want to have fun, make sure you find the really short girl wearing a yellow t-shirt passing out FREE glow bracelets!!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obxsully Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Hey everyone, first post here on Coldplaying.com. Over the past couple of months I just can't stop listening to Coldplay ha. I'm a member of quite a few other music message boards so I figured I would stop by here. I'm planning on heading to Raleigh for my first Coldplay show! I just had a question, I don't know if any of you guys are in the Pit or not, but I have found a couple Pit tickets on the internet and I have some money to spend. I just want to make sure they aren't fakes because they are e-tickets, so before I buy them I wanted to make sure some things checked out. Should my ticket have a seat # and row #? Also, does it just say GA PIT under the section or does it say orchestra too? Last question, how much is a Pit ticket at face value like before fees and parking and everything? Thanks if anyone can help, I really cannot wait to see the show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busybeeburns Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 There's a lot of gloomy, end-of-times talk in the record business these days about the death of the industry. Fewer and fewer new acts break through every year, and the ones that do never seem to have any staying power. But that paradigm doesn't apply to Coldplay, which plays Thursday in Raleigh. At a time when "gold is the new platinum," this British quartet still moves tonnage that recalls the industry's glory days. Last year's "Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends" (Capitol Records), Coldplay's fourth album, has sold more than 8 million copies worldwide -- easily the top-selling album of 2008. Somehow, Coldplay has emerged as The Last Big Band, combining mainstream popularity with industry respect and widespread (though not unanimous) critical acclaim. Similar to Fleetwood Mac in the '70s, U2 in the '80s or R.E.M. in the '90s, Coldplay has become one of those omnipresent consensus bands whose lyrics get scribbled in yearbooks. As to why that is, Coldplay's members are just as puzzled as anyone else. "I know what you mean, there just aren't many bands that tour at our level these days," says bassist Guy Berryman, calling from a tour stop in Houston. "I don't think we're the last one, but who knows when the next will be? The key to us is that we just work really, really hard," he says. "We've constantly written and recorded and toured, visiting places over and over. We've just stuck at it and never really stopped the last 10 years. That's it." Bumps in the road Coldplay's perch is so lofty nowadays that potshots are inevitable. One of the less-welcome salvos to come the band's way was a plagiarism lawsuit filed in December, in which guitarist Joe Satriani claimed that Coldplay stole the riff of the "Viva La Vida" title track from his 2004 composition "If I Could Fly." The case is pending. "Yes, that's something we could do without," Berryman says of the lawsuit. "But I guess it happens. We just have to deal with it in whatever way it needs to be dealt with. But it's very distressing to us. It was very surprising." Of course, some of Coldplay's detractors might say that charges of plagiarism are only comeuppance. For all the pleasantness of Coldplay's music, it's hardly ground-breaking. It does, however, fit right between two of Britain's leading contemporary bands as a synthesis of Radiohead and U2 -- more accessible than the former, a bit less than the latter -- creating a perfect commercial micro-niche in the field of anthemic, majestic arena-rock. Throw in a charismatic frontman in singer/keyboardist Chris Martin (husband of Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow) and the group's well-intentioned political activism, and it's small wonder that Coldplay has prospered. How it all fits To his credit, Martin has said of Radiohead, "We owe them a career, really." And the band certainly tried to stretch a bit on "Viva La Vida" by enlisting producer Brian Eno, one of the primary architects of U2's cathedral-like sonics. While it's not a huge departure, "Viva La Vida" does sound more atmospheric than Coldplay's previous three albums. "Every producer is slightly different," Berryman says. "Some are more geared up to the engineering side, with microphone settings and equipment, while others are more into ideas and concepts. That's what Brian is about. He's less interested in fine-tuning sounds than the concept, the songs and rhythms and arrangements and how they all fit together. "He was instrumental in making this album sound different from anything else we've done before. He became one of the band, basically, working through everything together. In particular, you hear more group singing on this album, because Brian is very interested in that. He has an a cappella group come to his studio every Tuesday, so the vocals were really pushed along by him." Another change on "Viva La Vida" is that Martin sings most of the songs in a lower register than his signature falsetto croon. And even though Coldplay has never been the cheeriest bunch, this album might be the group's bleakest yet. Multiple songs make references to death ("Bury me in honor/When I'm dead and hit the ground") or falling short of a heavenly afterlife ("You didn't get to heaven but you made it close"). But when asked whether Martin's lyrics indicate a growing melancholia, Berryman politely demurs. "The lyrics are all Chris," Berryman says. "The rest of us might flag something that doesn't seem quite right. But he's a great lyricist, so we usually just let him get on with it. And we don't analyze things, really. The best lyrics come out naturally without you having to think about them at all, and we'd rather leave interpretations open to others." http://www.newsobserver.com/105/story/1626504.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
