Full review and poll: 12 Coldplay Months of 2010: JULY (6 articles for the month) [thanks Destrokk]

From the Bakery to the Beehive to the Greenhouse! In July, The Sun reported that Coldplay had crammed so much plant life into new studios that their support staff have labelled it "The Greenhouse." The Sun continued, "Frontman Chris Martin is taking a keen interest in horticulture at the moment. And at a recent garden party at his north London home he bored, sorry, told pals, including Richard Ashcroft, all about it. It's taken such a hold that pot plants in the tiny studios - also in north London - are everywhere. A pal said: "With all the greenery in there it's now a real squeeze."

As part of the countdown to the 10th anniversary of Coldplay's debut album, Parachutes, Coldplaying looked back on the recording process, courtesy of producer Ken Nelson, and as part of the memoirs of the first album era, we also looked back on a special interview of the band, courtesy of NME, at a time when the music magazine used to like Coldplay, of course...

Meanwhile, The rapper and producer Swizz Beatz, announced in July that he was producing material with Coldplay. It has not yet been confirmed whether the song(s) will make the cut for Coldplay's LP5, but Swizz Beatz has previously worked with Coldplay three years ago on a mix called Part of the Plan so this is not the first time the two artists had combined together.
