Fixed

Thanks David. I wasn't too sure of it at first but after a few radio plays I might be warming to it, I've not decided yet. My sister met Zane once and she said he came across as a prat :P

Does anybody know if that Black Kids remix is available anywhere? I think it was a remix he played anyway, it sounded different to the other version I've heard. I really liked it.

Yeah Radio 1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/zanelowe/

More writing probems - Where do you start? There's so much to say. How do you decide what's important enough to write about? Hasn't everything already been said? Also, is it feasible to write songs based on dreams you've had?

The "You're Fired" show on BBC2 is great - Adrian Chiles is a leg-end! Great pic this, Frank and Adrian - what a double-act that would be

When you say "do", what does "do" actual mean - sly shandy on a Saturday afternoon, stroll in the park, walk on the beach, or full on rumpy pumpy?

That busybeeburns is a bit tasty.

Wahay, Will's going to be made up n all :P

Ron Sexsmith is amazing! I think he's over here doing a few gigs in the summer isn't he?

Is there any software available that enables me to play a Region 1 DVD in the UK?

Charming.

No they're not splitting, the forum's just gone a bit weird. There's people posting nasty comments about others and stuff like that, and someone started a thread to try and get everyone to talk things over, which didn't work because people started arguing, but I think it's ok now. There's also been idiots moaning about the band's updates on the homepage - they've been doing blogs, videos, pics etc, and some people are like "I don't like the pics, I want more videos" and stuff like that, when were lucky we're getting anything at all. I think there's just a lot of deluded people that expect too much from them. Oh yes, and there's a bit of a I Hate Jesse Quin campaign - Jesse is the guy who's been recording bass for Album 3, which some people don't like.

I do know you're kidding honey, but I'd have no problem being called a moron - it's such a funny word, like buzzard. And isn't Eddie Izzard a genius! Ohh EDIT... just found that pic you mentioned Maya, it's wonderful, separated at birth! Sorry, gone a bit off topic, let's talk about members again... Anyone seen Goldmember?

I was going to say that bigtuna could edit the first post so it said something like "I have listened to it 'x' number of times", and then edit the second post so it said "Ohh, just listened to it again after I typed that other post, so now I have listened to it 'y' times" and then carry on to say 'z' times in the third post. But it doesn't really matter does it - nooothing really maaaatters, aaaanyone can seeeee.

Yes, we're all friends now, and there's absolutely no need to mention the you know what - Fawlty Towers is hilarious! And I've got Judi Dench's autograph too. I didn't meet her in person, I emailed her agent, and she sent me one, she's so lovely.

I started listening to it this morning, then turned it off just as the first "If you loooove me" kicked in. It was like withdrawing the moment before, erm, singing the chorus.

Sorry I wasn't arguing your post either lol, I was just thinking out loud and saying to myself well, it's not fair for me to say yes everyone is unfair on it because everyone has their own opinion on it, just like me saying 'yes everyone is unfair' is my opinion, and I meant 'you' as in the people that don't think they are too hard on X&Y, not one person in particular. I'm talking nonsense now, sorry, just clearing that up, didn't want to piss anyone off. I'm getting Keane-forum syndrome - that's quite a fragile place at the moment and you have to be careful what you say otherwise someone will pull a cyber-water-gun out on you or something like that. Anyway, I'll be quiet now :P

No, it's an interim site. A new site will be up soon. Debs also said that the timeline form the old new Coldplay site will be back on the new new new site.

They haven't retired, but first they said they'd start recording in 2007, then they said this year, then Danny said next year. Danny just seems to keep putting it off and is concentrating on his DJing more at the moment :(

And Will has great ball skills. Football. Not, you know. See ya.

I'd love to know who those people were that had already clocked up a few listens of it on last.fm before it was released. Probably employees or relatives, or the band under different names...

Wait until the album's relased. Carnage!

Only 8 times I think, which I'm quite proud of!

Lots more opinions on Violet Hill here: http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=44241

Bumbling Boris would qualify for membership too, as would the perculiar folk (no offence, I know you have the right to vote for whichever moron you like best) that voted for him. Violet Hill's timing couldn't have been more perfect. And Chris and Gwyneth have both said this album is about life/death, realising what is important in life, so I don't think this is going to be a full-on political album, but if it is then I don't mind.
