Maybe they won't release an EP, but if they don't take out a few b-sides I'll really get angry! :angry:

 

... Well, maybe not, but I'd love to listen to them, even if some songs didn't fit the record it doesn't mean they're awful, especially because we're talking about CP, their b-sides are as good (if not better) as albums' tracks, as we all know! I'd love to know what they worked on until now, which products of their "experiments" were rejected and why that happened... Just think of Moving To Mars, it's such a stunning song! :wacky:

 

I love MX and I believe it'd be amazing to discover that there's more of it somewhere hidden, to see it suddenly appear and make me die for its greatness! :wideeyed:

They have all of these songs that they didn't include! It has to happen!

I really did like MX and I would like to see more of the songs that are like that.

I do agree that I'm always disappointed when single B-sides are just radio edits or live versions or remixes as opposed to new tracks.

 

But they "have to" do nothing, no matter how much they have in reserve. I think the X&Y sessions were rumored to have the most unused material that got shelved, and we've never heard any of it. Just because it almost made the album doesn't mean it's going to come out, necessarily.

Did any of the songs on that wall from the TV programme in 2009 make the album??

I can think of Cartoon Heart but none more....

Nope, none others, just checked!

The Car Kids EP has just been announced !!!

here's the tracklisting :

1 Car Kids

2 School Bus

3 Rickshaw in Shanghai

4 Every London Cab is Black

5 Atomic Train

6 Unicycle in the desert

True, but a few songs leaked online I think.

Like Solid Ground, that was amazing!

Solid Ground was live (AND AMAZING :wacky:) and so was Ladder To The Sun etc...were Harmless and A Ghost from the X&Y era? :thinking: I actually can't remember.

^A Ghost was an AROBTTH outtake

That's what I thought, thanks! :nice:

Like Solid Ground, that was amazing!

 

And this one too :awesome:

I'm desperate for Wedding Bells, been waiting for that for a while now.. Such a beautiful song.

I know a lot of this thread is just fun speculation, but I have to say that I'm surprised that people are already clamoring for an EP in multiple threads when we JUST got the album. Anything's possible, but I don't think Prospekt's March set a trend for how Coldplay are going to do releases from now on or anything like that--I actually think The Oracle said the same thing in the past few weeks and months. Can we just take a breather and enjoy what we have for now? It's still fresh out of the box!

 

Before and around the VLV release, there were rumors about VLV maybe being a double album or something similar a la Kid A and Amnesiac--I don't remember how those rumors started or what they were based on, but they did end up being somewhat true with the announcement of PM. This time there aren't rumors, which doesn't mean it won't happen, of course, but I'm just putting it out there.

 

Re: Carkids--I do find it slightly annoying that they've got the name "Carkids" everywhere, like on their clothes and in the "CK" symbol and in the graffiti while it's not a song or a lyric and don't have an explanation for it, but...every Coldplay era has had at least ONE song that never saw the light of day that the fans have begged for, like "So Sad" (we got a clip of that in the end, though), "Deserter," "Famous Old Painters" (we got the instrumental of that, but still) and the list goes on forever. I think it was a song that they were going to put on the album so they went ahead and decorated everything with its name, but when they did the last-minute tracklisting, decided it wasn't going on the record. I do hope it'll end up as a B-side or something, because knowing the title of an unheard song makes it more "real" to you and makes you want it more, but at the same time, think about the hundreds of songs, ranging from demos to full-fledged mastered almost-album tracks, that are sitting in the vault never to be heard. A painful thought, yes, but I think it's kind of silly in that sense to get all worked up about one unknown song that we know the name of when there are countless more that might be better that we're just as likely to never hear.

 

why do you always write so amazing and long posts?

I never was but now that it looks like we're never gonna hear it I am!!

^A Ghost was an AROBTTH outtake

 

Was it? Because I have a recording of it and apparently it was supposed to go on the Mince Spies promo thing but got replaced by Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.

 

But yeah, great song. :cool:

How I would love to have a CD of Mince Spies!!!

That A Ghost recording was at a radio station afaik.

Yeah, but the question is of the era, do you know when that was? :) I can't recall with enough certainty to say 100%.

A Ghost is an unreleased song from Coldplay, written in the time during Parachutes and, the follow up, A Rush of Blood to the Head. There is a live recording on the internet that Chris Martin played solo on an American radio station in 2001. He said in the interview on the same show that it was inspired by Tom Waits.

Thanks Tash :nice:

 

I was leaning towards thinking it was between AROBTTH and X&Y but looks like I was wrong! I'm kind of surprised it's as old as Parachutes, really.

Oh dear, here it goes again...

My thoughts exactly.

 

 

Seriously, people? Are you this greedy?

MX just came out last week. Just chill out and enjoy the music you have :cool:

 

 

no because we are seeing it everywhere on the album cover, on the bands apparel, its just making us more tempted to know that this car kids and other songs sound like.

Possible tracks on the tracklist:

 

[most likely]

Car Kids

Tomorrow

Great Expectations

 

[possibly]

Under 1 Roof

Princess of China w/o Rihanna

Charlie Brown (Lost Boys Remix)

Golden Arrow

 

[unlikely]

Wedding Bells

Rex

Aiko

 

no rex and golden arrow are most likely cause they're everywhere too
