Famous Old Painter

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!

When do you think it will air? It's gonna on radio and coldplay.com tomorrow with it being released on digital download and 7" about a week later, so when's the video going to air? It's usually before the actual release date so my guess is this weekend hopefully.

I hope so! We'll it'll be good for a radio rip anyway, for what you said and if .com crashes.

I have to wait until 09:30pm tomorrow to download this thing! This will be the longest 28 hours ever.

If I've interpreted the Coldplay email correctly then we shouldn't need a radio rip because the songs gonna be uploaded onto the Coldplay website at around the same time.

I'm doubting a leak of Violet Hill, though I'm still hoping for a leak of VLV.

Hmm, not sure about the artwork, dont think I like it at all. But with a free download and and music along the way very soon you cant go wrong. Incidentally - I found this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viva_La_Revolution Chris Martin did talk about stealing from other people than Radiohead

If it sounds like Grounds for Divorce then I REALLY want to hear it! Not long now...

I would but I'm at school when it airs. So I'm counting on you guys!

Check out my YouTube channel for heaps of great Powderfinger vids. Sorry for the spam. Back on topic We Are Scientists could pass as British and I think Interpol could too.

It'll be released on iTunes May 5 methinks. And dont worry about radio rips, there'll be at least 3 people recording it at once and it will spread around the board in no time.

My guess is May 5 from iTunes, 7digital and the other usual places. I dont care about the quality for now, I'm gonna download the radio rip because I JUST WANT MORE COLDPLAY regardless of how it sounds. But then that'll make me more excited for the album so I can finally hear it in proper quality.
