Famous Old Painter

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...

Yeah I've ordered NME's from there before and it's worked out ok. The only prob is shipping cost!

I think I remember Chris saying something like "In the early days we'd all just steal from Radiohead, but now we're stealing from other bands"

What??? Did anyone record this??? :shocked2:

Not a big fan, but then again when I first saw the X&Y art I thought "wow this really sucks!" but then I discovered the fun you could have with the code and I love it now.

Isn't the real Violet Hill in Hong Kong?

Fortunatley you learn to block it out :laugh3:

So the exclusive news, not so exclusive?

I really dont like the artwork much at all, however then I remember how I initially disliked the artwork for AROBTTH and X&Y too and I love them now. So who knows?

Yeah, it's been said in a 14 page thread actually - http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=44117 ;)

I really hope it's Sophie Muller, she's one of my all time favourite music vid directors. Though I somehow doubt it this time around. It wont be for Violet Hill, though I'd really like to see Jamie Thraves direct another video. Now he can make a video!

Yeah, the song should give us more ideas.

You think the band or something may put the vid on thier site or YouTube before it gets on TV?

I hate the word leak, always makes me think of that tampon ad.

I'm gonna be keeping at least one eye open in the Multimedia section!
