Famous Old Painter

My guess is it's currently processing hundreds of emails, mine took about 5 minutes to reach me.

At first I was unsure but after about 10,000 listens I FUCKING LOVE IT now! The bit that makes the song for me is how rediculously catchy the "if you love me wont you let me know" bit is. BRING ON THE ALBUM!!!

Yes! NOW! NOW! NOW!

The site is crashing - it's going really slowly... Thank Christ I'm listening to XFM right now!

Just 20 minutes now! In front of a computer, Adelaide, South Australia, listening to XFM!

I've never even heard of Coldplay!

Only an hour and a half!

I just made an observation. If you remove the black sleeve from the Violet Hill artwork then it wont look too different to the Viva la Vida art. I think that will be the theme, white words scribbled over a painting.

Hang on I just saw. It will ship to Afganistan, Azerbaijan and even Antarctica - but not Australia. What the hell...?

They're clearly trying to find loopholes around this "only 10 tracks" thing. I think it's a bit stupid myself, what if we love Chinese Sleep Chant and hate Yes? Still, the more songs we have, I'm not complaining. Apparently it's an "enoesque" thing to do, combining 2 tracks. But confirmation of the digipack! Yay! :dance:

:laugh3: I'm listening to NIN. I should put on some Coldplay now though, will help me get into the mood.

An ad? Did you hear a part of the song?

I believe so! :D Yeah, I like Youth Group as well

I agree. I pretty much get most of my music from overseas nowadays anyway. There and of course the Australian indie scene. Edit - whoa... so many posts so little time! What I'm saying seems irrelevant now!

Wow, posts popping up so fast it's hard to keep up! Actually, I have a REALLY important homework assignment due TOMORROW. Fuck... damn Coldplay!

No, Triple J will be playing Home and Hosed at the time I think which is an all Australian show. I'll probably make it's Triple J debut at least during the morning show.

Just got an email from Musichead, Coldplay's Australian record company website. Nothing new whatsoever but it's worth posting I guess. Coldplay.com to give away new single We're very pleased to announce that Coldplay's new single, 'Violet Hill', will be available as a free download exclusively from Coldplay.com for one week starting today, April 29 at 9.15pm (AEST). This is a full week ahead of the single's conventional paid-for digital release, on Tuesday May 6th. Artwork: 'Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends' (yeah you've seen it) Free gigs in London and New York Also today, Coldplay.com will announce preliminary details of two free shows which the band will play in June, one at London's Brixton Academy and the other at New York's Madison Square Garden. Full details of how to win tickets to both will be revealed on Coldplay.com in the next few weeks. (and why's this in the Australian newsletter again?) Album release details Coldplay's fourth album, 'Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends' is out in Australia and New Zealand on June 14. We'll be back with more news soon.

Yeah just looked it up, SAFM for SA, Fox FM for Melbourne (silly me), B105 for Brisbane, 2day FM for Sydney and Mix 94.5 I think.

Aw... you got me pretty excited there!

Fox FM is basically Sydney's SAFM isn't it?

Do Triple J still play Coldplay? Oh wait, it's Home + Hosed around that time isn't it? I might check SAFM or Nova or something though I'd prefer to stream XFM personally.

Really? :shocked2: Is it coming with the vinyl? I've got to check this out. Another thing I just realised, I did another time conversion and apparently made a mistake. Initially I thought we'd be getting VH at 9:30 but it turns out it's gonna be 8.45 - a whole 45 minutes earlier!

How much longer? I recon I could make it till air.

Funny, there's a Big Star just down the street and yet I never go there... :thinking: I think it's around $20 all up, I'm not sure.

I wouldn't be putting money on it. But I guess you never know what the future holds...
