sure they have control. they don't waste their time in a boardroom throwing the figures at each other, but they decide to play the shows every night. If they would refuse to play on these grounds, then the suits would have to be lower the price. They wouldn't be happy about it and the might try to sue the band, but either way it's a choice Coldplay decides on all the time. It's all a matter of perspective; from this perspective they have complete control. (Reference: Pearl Jam)

I never think of coldplay as being that abstract. especially next to radiohead. this is a good thing i think. whereas radiohead channels the subconscious, coldplay communicates on a conscious level (meaning chris writes to be understood, and thom yorke is more of a wizard with words). the thing is that you have to have experienced the very specific things that chris is singing about, otherwise it all sounds like rubbish i'm sure. but if you can relate, it's almost as straightforward as it gets. tides that i tried to swim against makes perfect sense to me. so do birds came flying from the underground, it was all yellow... "a hidden diamond you cannot find" "a secret star that cannot shine over to you" "i shall be free" "it's love.

he doesn't have to play it and he doesn't have to prove that he has it. whatever

I'm comfortable with how much i'm thinking into this, thanks. If they (the dj's) Can get their management to take responsibility then i'm sure they'd do it immediately (if they actually do have the album). But if their bosses say they won't back it, then these poor ass college kids have to decide if they want the publicity and bill for breaking the law, you know?? I think the guy has the album though

that's funny jackie, :) i agree, but i just get the sense it's for real. it's the way they were talking about it

nevermind cafc4eva, forget it

it is not their job, but i bet you it's their top priority on the inside. The shame is in the industry where humanity comes after one's own benefit. if coldplay had wanted to release their album immediately to help people, the label wouldn't do it. no way, in Hell

they have it though, i can tell they're not lying

not tonight

it's not a hoax. they'll do it but maybe not before it leaks elsewhere. also, i was just sharing some thoughts. why do you have to be so cold to me

did they just play talk?? i just caught the end of it... was it the same version we have (the old one)???

it's funny to me, cause in the long run all "leaks" do is continue exposure to a larger audience. It's true that some people will just download the album and not buy it, but the real topic that needs to be addressed is this fucking uptight world we live in... So these people download the album; theyre more likely to go to a show then where the real money is spent. And coldplay is doin just fine for them selves i'm sure... Also, music is a really expensive habit to begin with and i'm proud of people who are passionate about music and meaning. I don't at all blame those people who just download. It's a tough world and hard to just get up out of bed sometimes. I wonder how many people have committed suicide since the album was completed; people who's lives could have been saved by taking in x&y (if it had been released immediately). I'd say at least 20 or 30. Damn shame

yeah, the tensions are there. I bet it will leak before tuesday

yeah, that's cool. I graduated from UNT last year and I'm still living here trying to get things together. You're in NYC, huh? That's funny, cause I'm originally from there:) I've enjoyed listening to this station. Was that loretta lynne they just played? The cover of "I'll stop the world..." I love interpol. they're amazing live

i don't think this is a ploy. i think they're serious about doing it. this is more exciting than nothing either way :) I'll think once the responsibility is off their shoulders they'll do it. They may not be able to get it approved before next time

Dark Side of the Moon The WAll

yeah, me too.. It's a shame because THIS censorship is much more difficult to justify in terms of being detrimental to future album sales. I lose some respect, because the band should know that only a very tiny percentage of fans will be interested in chasing down the mp3s of this show. They would at this point have authority to call off the hounds. 90% of the fans won't think to look for this concert, and the ones who do are obviously buying the CD. Fighting a legal battle against a leaked copy of an album is another issue and can still be argued in favor for the band financially. (More people get the album, play it for their friends, etc... more demand) ... It's sad that people are being paid to ensure that the tens of us can't hear the concert, and you know that these are the lawyer types who are paid hundreds by the hour. Such a waste :uneasy: I'd imagine they (coldplay) just want tight control over the new material, but that's just arrogant and stupid. It's much better they let fans hear their new songs early if they really give a sh*t. We all know that music can save lives and time is of the essence when it comes to those pushed to the edge. Whatcha gonna do, right? I'll still be a fan and look forward to hearing the show at some point...

It's funny to me that you're so content (those who are waiting), considering that I'm the one who's listening to the new material right now :) It shouldn't take you very long to send the older material from the set, and it would really make my day. Thanks: [email protected]

I think it's gonna be more "80s" than this. By the direction of Talk and WhiteShadows

After all this time, I still don't have the old tracks... A generous soul would send all but the new songs :) [email protected] ...

catapult instead of 'kind of punk', perhaps...?

That's my two cents. It seems to be about the devil to me; keeping the truth from people even though it's always right in front of us. The parts about "when you find it you keep it, etc" is about the truth. When you find the truth you have to hold on to it tightly. "Maybe you'll know it if you see it" "Maybe when you say it you'll mean it" = the phrase, "I Love You". This is all from memory, so a couple words might be off here or there, but I think it contributes a bit to the thread anyways.. Love is still the answer, take my hand:) Part of a system

Hey everyone, I've been trying to get this show since yesterday afternoon, and I'm STILL trying because I'm on a dialup modem :embarrased: The good news is that I have all the new songs :) , but I still need the old songs (tracks 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, & 12). Could someone who has these tracks re-post them or send them to me??? [email protected] I'd be a really cool thing to do. Thank you and Please!!!!!!!!!!
