Seriously brilliant interview. Except it kills me when they talk about not making another album. But, otherwise, wonderful.

This.

 

Kevin and Bean obviously didn't do much research. I was annoyed because we were asked to write down questions for the band and they would choose some for fans to ask. They asked the band my question :( I asked them about it, and they said it was a good question :( But it was still amazing.

 

What was your question?

Agreed. I love funny Chris, but it's nice to hear him talk seriously about the themes of this record.

 

Yes, it was very nice!

Diane, is he always like that? is that his Shtick? it was embarrassing to listen to. The guys just rolled it off their shoulders, took the higher road

Yeah, but they always say that xD

This interview enlightened me on lots of things about this album, thanks Steve!

And I missed Jonny! I can tell that he was there cause of the sound of his laugh:rolleyes:, but it would be great if he answered some more questions.....

Did you hear that, Chris? :P

Just thanked Steve via twitter for the great interview. Think he surely deserved it =D

Hope someone recorded this. I need to listen to it again...it was so dense with content, I couldn't take it all in on one listen. Steve's the man! It's obvious they have a lot of respect for each other.

How cool is it that Steve got in contact with a dream analyst to analyse symbols of the songs. :awesome:

 

Don't give up is exactly what I need right now. When I have time I should listen to Mylo Xyloto a lot of times (only heard it once) and get strength. :)

 

Are they done? :(

From a first listen of the album I think Charlie Brown is my favourite too. :)

What a nice interview. Though it's not surprising since Lamacq always asks interesting questions to Coldplay. Thank you, Mr Lamacq!

 

Hopefully people who could not listen to it live can catch up on this later because this interview is just so full of nice behind-the-scenes info.

Yes, that's kind of how they roll. They've been on the air since 1990 and have a big following here. But they've been huge huge supporters of Coldplay since the beginning and really gave them a lot of exposure in the Los Angeles area in the early years, so the band feel they "owe" a lot to K&B and KROQ, if that makes sense. I don't know what you could see during the breaks, but K&B spent a bit of time talking to Chris, and he never looked unhappy or uncomfortable with them. I think Chris knows that's just how they are.

^ I totally agree!

I hope someone has recorded this!

Great, serious interview. Loved it!

From everything I've listened to, Kevin and Bean have been friends with Coldplay from the early days. But wasn't Nick Harcourt of Morning Becomes Electic the 1st to play Coldplay tracks in Los Angeles and wasn't he the 1st to invite them for an acoustic session in their studio? Nobody talks about him anymore. I read he's no longer with KRCW though.

KCRW is an NPR affiliate that broadcasts from Santa Monica Community College that tends to play more unknown and up-and-coming artists. I listen to it sometimes. I think in the early days, Coldplay made the rounds of college radio stations. It doesn't have near the following that KROQ does in the LA area, so Coldplay's exposure skyrocketed once Kevin and Bean got ahold of them.

Lovely photo!

I am starting to get worried about Chris talking so much about calling it quit.

 

I really hope it is not true.

He's done that after every album. I'm not worried :)
