X Factor style auditions, the judges being C, J, G, W.

Just the 1 issue. Not even NME would be cruel enough to make you take out a year long subscription in order for you to get a free 7". I think. No, definitely just the 1 issue.

You got an email?!

All this artwork and free download business and free show jiggery-pokery is having terrible effects on me.

Anyone that manages to get a spare ticket for Brixton feel free to send it my way, incase I am unsuccessful. I shall see to it that whoever oliges will DEFINITELY get jellybabies this time, and a whole lot more. I am prepared to sink to depths that none of you ever knew existed ;)

The images that sentence conjures...

I love Will fiddling with the pliers as he works on the new album, so funny. And the 'jazz cigarette'!

I subscribe to Q. It usually has features on bands I like and it's just a good read in general.

When did this Chris and Jonny thing actually start? Did someone spy them in their student days dancing to jazz in the park after a night of drunken debauchery?

I think they'll incorporate Strawberry Swing. Jonny sits on a specially constructed swing onstage whilst Chris feeds him strawberries. Will pushes the swing back and forth, whilst Guy The One Man Band serenades them with castanets, maracas and a kazoo. Actually, I've changed my mind. I don't dread the thought anymore, I'm getting rather hot and bothered imagining what it will entail now. How naughty.

I dread to think what Chris and Jonny's 'White Shadows' moment will be when they play Lovers In Japan.

I hope Hardest Part Spencer is going to be making an appearance.

I don't know about anyone else, but when I click on the artowkr to get the bigger version in a new window it doesn't work properly, only a quarter of it seems to be opening if you know what I mean. But I cunningly figured out the url of the bigger version: http://www.coldplay.com/albumart.jpg

I'm excited to see what clothes they're going to be wearing ;)

Probably just to distinguish between the 2. Although I suppose they could have had one heading/link that said "LONDON" and another that said "NEW YORK". I don't know.

Not read about what the painting actually means, but it's just so 'victory', 'live life' (despite the dead bodies!). I love it.

Awesome.

I asked them if the writing/recording process was different for this album. Usually Chris has ideas on guitar/piano and he takes it to the band. I was wondering how Brian Eno got them out of their comfort zone and if the process was different for this record.

I've never seen this one before:

The post round our way has been silly lately - things getting delivered to wrong houses, things not getting delivered at all. I'm thinking of actually going into a shop very, very, very early and paying for it in person, then running home with a spring in my step just like Charlie Bucket did when he found the last Golden Ticket.

The drop-down doesn't work? Hmm, Audacity is weird isn't it.

Time to start refreshing the XFM page for that exciting news... Jelly babies for the person who posts it first ;)

Would be great if we can get a copy of each station playing it as I'm sure they'll all be saying different things about and may possibly have different info etc.

Can you see a drop-down menu with "What U Hear" in it? Select that and then press the red record button. It should record whatever audio is playing. That should work... let's know if you still have problems :)

Sometimes in Clocks (only sometimes, not all the time) "shoot an apple off my head" sounds a tiny, tiny bit like "shouldn't I pull off my head". Only sometimes though.
