Fixed

Coldplay.com is slowing down, for me anyway. How many hits must that site be getting lol.

CHRIS WAS JUST ON RADIO 1! Haha, sorry, quadrouple (spelling?) post.

Starting laughing and giggling when she played all the clips of old songs, RAR!

JO WHILEY HAS IT IN HER HANDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Love will tear us apaaaaaart", last song on that playlist thingy on XFM. Nearly zero hour!

I'm Chris, 20 years old, in Liverpool, England. In my backroom, sat at the computer, shaking an awful lot from excitement. Can't wait!!!

Awww cat's are lovely. Mine are caled Grace and Dora :D Nearly time, RAR!

My cat has jumped up onto the stool next to me. I think she wants to hear Violet Hill too :P

Just had time to have a shower and get some clothes on - yes, I was naked when I posted earlier on, hehehe.

I'd love it if the band are actually on one of the stations and say something, like when Chris and Jonny hand delivered Speed Of Sound to Steve Lemacq.

Yes I'm very excited! Praying that my internet connection doesn't play up or that it doesn't start buffering midway through the song lol.

Ahh it's good to be back :D

Right, I'll have to go to bed now. It's been a fun day, hope tomorrow/today, wherever you are, is fun also, I'm sure it will be! Speak to all you lovely Coldplayers in a few hours. Love xxx

Random title-related comment: It was funny when Chris told Jonathon Ross that they called X&Y "X&Y" because they couldn't spell xylophone :P

Thanks Chavi :) I'm thinking of stopping now. I can't concentrate at all and I'm getting very restless lol. I'm thinking of going to bed now, nearly 2am. I keep checking XFM to see if they play it a bit early, but they've not mentioned it.

Damon Albarn has revealed that he plans to release a new album in July. The star explained that the new album will feature over 100 musicians, including a Chinese choir and an orchestra. However, he would not be drawn on the name of the project or whether it ties into any of his previous work. Albarn told BBC 6Music: "This one's [the new album] got about 80, 90 musicians on it – something in that region. It's got a 100-piece Chinese choir on one of the tunes. That plus the orchestra probably goes to about 120, 130 people." Albarn hinted that the project may have something to do with his recent opera, 'Monkey: Journey To The West' by saying that the title of the project had "something of monkeys in there. There's a monkey or two in there at least – a bit like Gorillaz as well. It's not an opera [though], it's a proper record". http://www.nme.com/news/damon-albarn/36266

1:32am here. I have an essay to do, so I'm tempted to work through the night as I can't sleep, I'm so excited! Anyone else noticed that when you add Coldplay.com to your links toolbar the little symbol that used to be a star is now the red and black Viva flag :D

She used to be in Neighbours! :D

I've never been this excited. I wasn't a fan when the last 3 albums came out, only really been a fan after X&Y was released, so never experienced all of this build-up to a release date. So exciting! If this is what it's like for a single release then I can't imagine what I'll be like the day before the album's out. Crikey.

I wonder what Team Coldplay are thinking right now. What a feeling it must be, waiting for a single to be shared with the world, something you've been working on for so long. Anticipation and nervous excitement like a kid on Christmas Eve. Whatever they're thinking, I hope they're darn proud of it, which I'm sure they will be. God bless you C, J, G, W.

Listen on radio, or download and listen to the MP3 which might be better quality than radio. Dilemma.

All this talk of getting up early reminds me of the World Cup in 2002 when it was in Korea and Japan, and some of the games kicked off at about 6/7am. I'd crawl out of bed, get a cup of tea and watch whatever game was on. It was surreal. That was great that was :P

Excellent thanks for that Tracie, nice to actually hear it being announced :) By the way, I can confirm that genital grabbing is a national hobby in Liverpool. If anyone fancies a grab then let me know.

So that Bakery address is correct? Part of me thinks "Yeah why not publish it online, every other business lets people know their address". But another part thinks "They're one of the biggest bands in the world with a lot of very expensive equipment (musical equipment) - how have they not been broken into/harassed by crazed fans?!" Anyone fancy a trip to the Bakery this summer?

That's it - free download and free gigs.
