Famous Old Painter

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.

I just missed I 300th, figured I wouldn't make a scene. 1000 will be different!

These are gonna be the longest 52 days ever.

I'm hoping it's "on (insert date here) we will be previewing ALL of Viva La Vida track by track with the band to help us talk through it" :shocked2:

With all the madness going about with Violet Hill I totally forgot about this!

I think it's Viva la Vida now, at least I hope it is! I want to hear it! Either that, or VLV will end up sounding exactly as FOP was described, with horns and the words "Famous Old Painters" sung somewhere, and then FOP will be announced as a b-side for the 3rd or 4th single making us all explode for varying reasons.

Damn, wont be able to tune in! But still, when I log on Wednesday after school I'm gonna be in for a treat!

I think this page should help you out ;) http://www.xe.com/ucc

I'll trust you on that then. ;) Whenever it is, it will be soon!

Speak for yourself! :laugh3: But seriously, there's no need to rush things - quality over time restraint I'll say.

Airdates are appearing everywhere, which country is getting the song first?

So close! And yet... so far away!

Well the link to the official NME shop is here http://nme1.tsdshop.com/store/page3.asp?suptype=1&t=1&sub_type=181 There are also many "Buy It Now" things on eBay too.

Nope, doesnt come out here commercially as far as I know. Some newsagents and such may stock it but don't put heaps of money on the 7" coming with it, your best bet is probably to order it.

It will be a violent hill if we dont get the song soon!
