Nicely done Spike! After I read the news confirming the name, I cant do anything else that congratulate you on finding the name :D

Well done Spike! (although you spoilt my surprise :P)

I'm a member of PRS and (as a member) you can search their online database of registered songs. I typed in Chris Martin and looked at all the newly registered work under 'Christopher Anthony John Martin' and a song called 'Mylo Xyloto' was registered on 6th July 2011!!! The writers registered for the song are all of Coldplay and Brian Eno. Wither they actually call the album Mylo Xyloto or not or that might be the lead single (maybe released on October 10th because the first letters of each word being MX).

 

:clap:

HAHA SUCK IT HATERS

 

FUCKING BRILLIANT TITLE

 

GREAT SLEUTHING

 

take a chill pill, Oasis.

Love the name of album, cant wait for the tour!

Spike you tank!!!

Congrats Spike

So completely happy to hear this is the album title -- well done, man. After the creation of this thread, the evidence found to support the belief, and a little of my own thought, never doubted "Mylo Xyloto" would be the album name. Totally love it.

I agree, great leg work by finding that artis Mylo (and then the Xyloto) - I also, in a earlier post, felt this was legit and totally makes sense with the theme of the new album. I mean Coldplay may have never contacted the artist but were absolutely inspired by the messages Mylo was trying to send to the rest of society through graffiti, postings, pictures.

 

So excited for the new single - this may be their second ace in the hole (I posted on other threads stating i thought CB was a good song, but not 2nd single worthy or technically the lead off single for the album). This song title was out of the blue, no guessed this one surprisingly.

 

I'm super excited - and I think Coldplay made a homage to this artist as well as other artists that keep trying to wake us up to the reality of the world. Can't wait to see the tracklisting.

Congratulations are definitely in order her, SOME of our speculation payed off.

I loved reading the rumors, as many as there were, but Spike gets the cake, well done - could not be more excited!

Now, the real question is:

 

Is Coldplaying's Spike the same as the Spike that mastered Mylo Xyloto?

Thanks guys :)

 

I think Mylo Xyloto is a great name for the album, bring on 24th October!!!:D

Now, the real question is: [/size]

Exactly what I was wondering too!

amazing, all those theories and this thread was right!

Congrats Spike!!! And also to all the speculators! :lol:

Chris Martin on the Billboard interview:

 

Interviewer: I guess one risk of playing songs live early in the process is you might mess up on them, as you did on "Us Against the World" at Glastonbury, a real beauty.

 

CM: We just finished the mix of that today with Spike [engineer Mark Stent]. That's a keeper, for sure. We did f*ck that up in Glastonbury.

Now, the real question is: [/size]

 

Is Coldplaying's Spike the same as the Spike that mastered Mylo Xyloto?

:laugh3: I just read Chris' interview on Billboard here and I read that bit about Spike and was like ":thinking: wait a second"

 

It's hilarious if it is a coincidence...if not...:sneaky:

Wow, now that's some great detective work. Spike really needs to get the Mr. Coldplaying award for the 2011 Coldplaying Awards lol!!

SURE!! CONGRATS SPIKE!!!WE RE SO PROUD OF YOU!!!:vuvuzela::braces::vuvuzela:

Spike has now attained sainthood here on Coldplaying. Even though he's not dead. :P

 

Congrats spike! you won!

Looking forward to the moment in 3 hours when this whole stupid "Mylo Xyloto" stuff will be proved wrong and we will have an album name and artwork that sounds and looks decent...

...and this guy lost. :lol:

Wow, I just revisited this thread to see how we got this rumor in the first place...for some reason in my memory it was a locust7-type person that told us that, but now I see it really was the work of some careful detective work :D. Bravo for that!

 

However, I do miss the way we first got the idea that "Viva la Vida" would be the title of LP4. They made "MX" (whatever it stood for) so bloody obvious, spraypainting it everywhere :P

 

 

Chris said "Mylo Xyloto" at Lolapalosa

Congrats Spike, you sir are a genius! LOVE THE NAME!

Guys, I read on Facebook that Chris shouted "Mylo Xyloto" at Lollapalooza during Fix You, at 2.35:
