It was quite brilliant what with Christy Moore in the lyrics and Swallowed in the Sea in the set and the cool little light during Fix You. They were better at Witnness 2003 though what with the double encore and such. When did Chris start playing guitar for Yellow again?

Man, Chris needs to relearn Everything's Not Lost, haha. It was all amazing though. Jonny did a riff in the middle of Don't Panic from a dance tune or something, but I can't think for the life of me what song it is. Gah!

It was blasting out of Golden Discs, not HMV. Maybe that's where you were? The first person in there might have bought the White Stripes album? :huh:

Bedroom walls are made for Coldplay stuff.

Indeed, it's just one disc. Well done Liga, you lucky thing!

I'm pretty sure the rest of Europe is June 6th. Most of it anyway.

Ciarán. :) And I should have gone to bed earlier... *falls asleep*

No problem guys. Anyway, it's half two in the morning and I've work tomorrow, so it's time to take X&Y off loop and head to bed...

Make Trade Fair. ;)

Right: They're all the inside pages in order. Everything else you've seen already. My album isn't copy protected though.

Ha, you know if I didn't quite like them myself I might... If only I'd brought my wig and 'tache...

Lithograph eh? Interesting... LiquidSky - You were only allowed get one goody bag, even if you bought two albums. Understandable.

So do I! :D Bear with me a while and I'll scan all the pages in...

Well there was a sign outside saying that they only had 20 goody bags, and from the looks of it the sign was right, so not even everybody who was there at midnight would've got one. I'd say the record company sent out a quota of these bags to all the big places doing special openings. You won't get any goodies in Ireland buying the album anymore, but I'd say the rest of the world might have similar stuff on Monday and Tuesday.

Ditto to that.

The keychain, whilst cool, definitely has a "made from recycled cups" feel to it. That is, it's not the bast quality one I've ever had... I can't complain though.

Just down the road, Golden Discs had X&Y for a euro cheaper, but no goodies. Virgin over the other side of the city did a midnight opening too, but I don't know what they were offering. HMV Grafton Street is usually the place to be for these things though, the night of the U2 album there were hundreds there. The keyring was just in the goody bag. Don't know if you can buy it elsewhere...

Sure is a case, yeah. There were just about 25 - 30 when the place opened. More arrived afterwards. There were another couple of places doing midnight openings too.

Wahey, X&Y is officially out over here and I have my copy! Ireland is god for one thing: Getting albums on the Friday before everybody else. Me and a couple of mates were first in line at about 11:20 (2 hours ago). As well as the album, 20 goody bags were to be had, contents below: Double sided square cardboard thingy, band side shown. Album artwork on other side. Hologram postcard thing promoting the June 5th Live MTV show. The album itself. X&Y keyring with "made from recycled plastic cups" on the other side! :) Poster. same as the one in the Coldplay eshop. The bag itself. Make Trade Fair written in the code on one side, X&Y on the other. Make Trade Fair is also in code on the last page of the booklet, and there's the full alphabet deciphered on the centre pages. People might know some of this already, I just though I'd share my joy!

Hey, I voted in that poll before I posted here.

Swallowed In The Sea / Fix You / Till Kingdom Come. At the moment that is.

Ha, thanks. To, explain, a couple of years ago me and a few mates out of various different bands came together to play a one off gig of mostly Coldplay covers under the guise of Hotpause, that's when I made that logo. We did Shiver, Daylight, Don't Panic... can't remember the rest. As for this thread, I'm gonna take the easy way out and say that "new" and "old" Coldplay are both exceptionally fantastic in different ways. I couldn't bring myself to brand either one as better...

Logo friendly name or what?
