Do you have a living room big enough to house a tenpin bowling alley? Or does your home have a internal wall of at least 30ft - high enough to build a climbing wall?   If so, and you are based in central London (zones one or two), and interested in selling, you could have just what Simon Harris is looking for. He is the founder of Cityscope, a property search and sales agency which deals exclusively in 'unconventional living spaces'.   On the search side, his clients have included a couple of pr

Ponderous blog entry to hit the interweb recently:   Dear Chris,   You’ve had me waiting months for a sign that Coldplay’s 4th Album was on the horizon. And now I sit and wonder how you’ll back up your words, stating the album “is going to be the greatest piece of music ever made.”   Really, Chris? Don’t you think that might be just a tad premature? You hadn’t even started recording when you made those claims. You finished recording around the first of this year, and did not speak about the albu

Koval Bhatia is the founder of 'A Little Anarky', a New Delhi based digital video agency. They have worked with many major brands including Ford, Nestlé and Harley Davidson among others. They are made up of a 20 plus team of "anarkists" but their founder Koval was lucky enough to be in attendance when Chris Martin performed at the Summer House Cafe. This marked the first time a member of Coldplay had played in India. We were fortunate enough to get a chance to interview Koval to get a first hand

Check out a brand new Coldplaying LP5 blog entry: #42 finally snaps   Discuss this blog entry in the Coldplay forum here onwards [thanks Corkus]   Well, well, well, a lot has happened in my absence, hasn't it? With all your ever-growing impatience and pestering of the Coldplay.com crew, Anchorman has just checked into rehab and the Oracle is currently on her way to the "loony bin". As for myself and the rest of the roadies? We've been watching the value of the Euro drop as a measure of self-este

After all, I give and give and give to this fandom, and what do I get in return? Thankless requests from unappreciative punks. “Show us new song titles, #43!” “#43 post naked pictures of yourself and the band!” Note that

Now, some of you may be a bit skeptical of this interview, especially since there are, indeed, many people in the world named "Chris Martin", but Roadie #43 assures us that he went through a very through identification procedure. Whether that pro

It may not be British Independence that is being celebrated today, but that doesn’t mean I can’t use this as an excuse to get hammered, right? A lot has happened since I went on my last binging spree and decided to interview Chris. Oddly enough, I ran into Chris in The Beehive a few days later, and th

Yes, ungrateful peasants, I have returned. I suppose I owe all of you an explanation for my lengthy absence. After all, explaining myself would make me a better roadie than #42, who irresponsibly took the summer off without warning his most loyal fans. First of all, I hope you are enjoying the Digital Transmissio

"I think I mostly have an insecurity complex about myself, because I've been trying anything I can on women along the way," admits James Blunt — the heartwarming voice behind the ballady smash "You're Beautiful" — with a chuckle. "I tried a uniform at first, and then tried being a musician. Neither have worked particularly well for me. I'm sure psychologists will have something to say about that."   Blunt, whose forlorn lyrical vignettes sound a lot like David Gray songs as sung by Damien Rice,

A flock of big-name Democratic senators descended on Michigan University yesterday to rally Democratic troops for the Nov. 7 election.   U.S. Senators Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.), Mary Landrieu (D?-La.), Patty Murray (D?-Wash.) and Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) came to Ann Arbor in support of Democratic Sen.

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow is set to return to the big screen - playing a spurned bride.   She took a break from Hollywood to raise her two children with Coldplay's Chris Martin, Apple and Moses. Now she will star in comedy Seven Day Itch with Ben Stiller.   According to US reports, Paltrow, 33, plays Stiller's new wife. And she's less than happy when he meets the girl of his dreams on his honeymoon. The Farrelly Brothers - who directed Paltrow in 2001's Shallow Hal - are at the helm. The new mo
