Flying Sparks

Awwww how adorable! Gosh, Chris must have hated the fact that they were photographed (in case he noticed). I remember the last time I saw such a cute set of photos of Chris and his kids were his last visit at the zoo with little Apple =) He must enjoy it, too ^^ Moses resembles his sister a lot - two lovely blondes ;)

oh well, it's crazy, isn't it? one is reporting it, and soon every magazine is "confirming" it. it could be possible, the photos seem obvious (but maybe fake) to me, but it would be a truly bad timing.. but hey, there's no bad timing for the gift of life ;) I'd be damn happy for them.. she talked a lot about possible future babies recently.. but she also mentioned a possible adoption a lot.. we'll see =)

oh I SO see a tiny belly there in the last pic, I bet the magazines will jump on it sooner or later =D

And because you spoke of Perez Hilton before - god, I start hating him more and more (no, not just because he hates "Chrissy" and whatever comes with him, but because he can't stop talking shit): "Coldplay's new album Living La Vida Loca Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends" sold 125,000 copies its first DAY out in the UK, according to new reports. It's expected to clinch the #1 spot on the UK album chart. Easily. We're not a big fan of the album. It sucks!" Why the hell does PEREZ continue calling himself "WE" or "us"?

Oh lovely =) They did the same for an Austrian music channel some years ago.. It was so much fun. Sigh, the good old days.

I hate such things, seriously. This shows how the media can blow up things - to us, it's a tiny thing we discuss here, but I can already see my friends ask me tomorrow after reading the shit in some stupid tabloid: "I heard that your pussy Coldplay Chris was a diva again, huh?" Just like I keep hearing "Did you know Coldplay have a track with Kylie Minogue? How gay!" or "Chris Martin keeps talking about wanting to be as hot as Brad Pitt, right? How pathetic! What a loser." Sigh. Anyone else experiencing crap like that?

I feel like Chris had a bad day AND felt offended by someone not understanding his music but pretending like he does. To be honest, the longer I listen to it, the more I'm pissed off by the interviewer. He has that arrogant sound in his voice, and in the end Chris might have thought he was meant by "the dictator leading it", facing that constant statement of "Chris is the lead and the others don't matter, Chris is a diva, blah blah".. I'm sick of it, too, and so is he.

Sigh.. we all have our bad days.. and when we're confronted with such people/questions, it gets even harder..

I often catch myself thinking "Would I date Chris if he wasn't the musician as we know him?" - of course, I say yes, because I adore him and what we know of him, but.. if he'd walk upon you on the streets like that, would you have banged him? =D Sigh, men DO get hotter by age.

The piano version is so simple and soft and beautiful and has such a power, lyrical-wise. I hated the album version (in comparison) when I first heard it, but it's starting to grow on me. I still feel like the beautiful lines like "just because I'm losing doesn't mean I'm lost" kinda get lost in all that rhythm and sound in the album version..

sigh. finally, the day is here. and it was totally worth the wait. closing the curtains. lying down. putting it in my cd player. turning up the volume. and just ENJOYING. I love it. Absolutely. I feel like it's less about Chris Martin (or his voice) this time, and more about plain, simple, beautiful music. I'm still waiting for that big "highlight" to catch my attention though. I like all of the songs, but I don't get goosebumps at all. I think it's because I heard the "Viva la Vida" song before, which would have probably been my big highlight.. I guess.. Sigh, I don't know, I have to give it a second and third and fourth and endless go ;) Enjoy, fellow coldstainers!

I don't even know some of those photos yet, where can I find the original ones? Great job, by the way =) I wish I'd be talented like that.

I'm scared, man, you stalkers =D

Hallelujah!

I won't listen to the MySpace stream, there's something un-spectacular and un-exciting about sitting in front of myspace and listening to it.

It's not a waste, he'll be able to hold the great album in his hands soon enough ;)

Exactly. I'm not suffering, I'm not depriving myself. I wouldn't feel good about downloading it. I'm happy the way it is, and I'm happy with waiting until next week :)

This is pathetic and useless to say. We're not suffering (at least I'm not), because I expected it for June 12th and it's worth the wait. And it would be kind of you all not to spoil THIS thread with details about the songs. I decided to wait, and I will, thank you.

I'm absolutely with you as well. This actually made me quite emotional yesterday. I thought "Why would anyone do that?" I feel like June 13th is the day I AM SUPPOSED to listen to it for the first time. I've had the day in my calendar for weeks, counting towards it. I have a big exam that day and can't wait to go to the record store afterwards, finally holding the album in my hands, and then listening to it for the rest of the day. I feel like a true fan when I WAIT until this day, until the official release date. It's the date THEY give their music TO US. That's how I see it. So there's no way I'm gonna listen to it beforehand. On the computer. A simple file. No, thanks!!

uiii chris' stimme war ja teilweise holprig, aber das interview fand ich SEHR lustig und herzig =) mei schön.. jetzt kann ich ein wenig glücklicher schlafen gehen.

I haven't read all these pages but am I the only one who HATES the fact that it's leaked and that anyone can now get it without paying for the actual album? I'm disappointed, honestly, and would be disappointed by myself if I'd get the entire album before it's released. The guys wouldn't be ok with that, would they? I don't know... I just hate that thought.

Come on guys, it's not a desaster, calm down!! Chris' voice wasn't perfect, maybe VH would have been easier for the first live performance after such a long time indeed. But hey, they did a good job.

I'm looking forward to see that "simple" setup on stage at their tour though. It reminded me of the "Till kingdom come"-scene on their past tour.

All that paper coming down was stupid though indeed. First landing on his head, than getting into his mouth, forcing him to get it out. It looked stupid and it was just *too much*.

It was Viva la vida. Great moment when all the guys started singing the "oooh"-part.
