On Coldplay's site, they redesigned there archive. Part of the redesign includes the addition of a tombstone that says RIP Prospekt 20.4.07 - 14.10.08. It just seemed a bit strange and adds to the story of this character they made, so I thought I'd share :)

yes, Prospekt died in a hang gliding accident. sad times. :sad:

about 7 minutes in...)

I've not seen this before.. and did anyone NOT notice they mention Car Kids !?

Who was Prospekt? :confused:

The R#42 of the pre-Viva days.

Holy Shit.

 

Actually, I remember watching this and thinking nothing of it. Oh, how the times have changed.

Haha, and the saga continues. I also love the Prospekt story. never heard any of this before.

WTH? Car Kids is that old of a song?

 

It's good to know that they actually considered to take a Viva era song and put it into the MX era.

Poor Prospekt. :(

 

Yes this vid was the main thing that caused the Car Kids hype.

You know... OMG IT IIIIIS A SOOONG!

For a moment I thought you meant the person responsible for Prospekt. Oh my god, I almost started crying.

Where is Car Kids mentioned?

What are you talking about? What meens this Prospekt/Car Kids - thing ???

well, it was written in the VLVODAAHF era, but i do believe it would have been written for the MX era. some of the other MX songs are probably that old, too...

at around 10:30 on the video timer.....before they talk about 'Prospekt'

Prospekt was Phil Harvey. So, the character died but the person behind the character didn't.

Anyway, Prospekt wasn't R#42, as implied in the post above. (It may be useful to take a look at people's handwriting in other sections of the website.)

So Car Kids must be one damn great song, given they all liked the lyrics back then and they still have it written everywheren. So I think we will hear it one day.

i think what that poster meant was that Prospekt was like Roadie 42, in that Prospekt posted updates of what was going on in the studio and such before VLVODAAHF was released, not that they were the same person.

Yes, having re-read it, you're right :)

I wasn't trying to imply he was R#42, I was meaning to say he was the bearer of news back then.

If it was : It would be on the album! But still, I am curious.

Also about Car Kids, there's a Glasto setlist in the Mylo Xylotour programme that was rejected.

 

Guess what appears?

Yep.

 

 

Clocks.

 

 

 

And Car Kids.
