^ Did they charge you a stupid amount for postage? they wanted me to pay 5.17 GBP for delivery to the UK!! I'll just walk down the road to Spar i think :)

I've just said in the other thread that if anyone from outside the UK is desperatly in need of this, if they were to PM me closer to the time I might be able to see if I can pick up some extra copies, and pass them on at cost price. Can't promise anything, but I'll see what I can do! :D This is sooooo exciting, in two weeks time we'll have a real-life piece of Viva la Vida in out hands!

Yeah, it looks that way. I think this serves as official confirmation of the new coldplay website, given the paint backgrounds match the single artwork as well. Come on Prospekt, just tell give us some more info on the album artwork and the new website, you know you want to! ;)

All good newsagents in the UK seem to sell NME, I'm not sure whereabouts you can get it from if you aren't in the UK though. If you PM me closer to the time, I'll see if I can buy a few extra copies and pass them on at cost price.

this is so unbelievably awesome! I wonder if they'll still make it availiable for download?

I'll give it my best shot, but I haven't tried connecting up dad's turntable to the PC for aages! If this is the only chance we're gunna get to hear this b-side, we need to be able to rip it.

Looks like you can pre-order the magazine from their website, but for 5.17 GBP for postage to the UK, I think i'd rather walk into town and buy it when it comes out. 5pounds for postage, thats criminal. :(

oh yeah!! I was so shocked I didn't even think to check the last page!! Great minds obviously think alike!

NME are giving a away a 7" of Violet Hill for free with the May 7th Issue!!!!!!!!!! They even show the artwork!!! http://www.nme.com/news/coldplay/36122 breathes deeply. its coming... EDIT: Fuck, its backed with 'A Spell A Rebel Yell.' Please excuse my language, but I think it's called for here!!!

any more news Ian?

There's more? :o Wow!!!

HAHAHAHAHA, I'd pay to watch that. it'd be a nice little earner for him! Even though I hate the guy, his latest video makes me laugh its so sh*te! :D

I don't understand how the noises he makes can be classed as 'Music'...

Actually yeah, I forgot that! ;) I'm just thinking back to Keane's Atlantic, where the first time anyone heard it was on Channel 4 as a music video premiere. I wonder if Coldplay will have the premier on TV then, we all assume it'll be on the radio. Either way, not too long!

If its a download only, it seems very unlikely to me that it'll leak. Unless of course the video is going to be out sooner. But download only means no physical promos, meaning no-one but the bands management to leak it, doesn't it? I really hope i'm wrong though :(

rules sound and

SUPERNOODLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

free speech. obama or clinton?

The rest of us mere mortals would probably get dodgey looks or even kicked out for wearing our hoods up during a film! Ah, the perks of celebrity! :D

I have a feeling given EMI's much publicised problems of late, they'll do as much as they can to maximise their profits from this album. Its sink or swim from their point of view, so the more singles/albums/downloads/promotional items they can sell, the better.

'three weeks till violet hill? thats waay too long maaaaan. :('

This is very much like what Keane did with their last album, releasing a video of Atlantic to the music channels and as a download a month or so before the album, whilst their main single was Is It Any Wonder, which came out much closer to the albums release. So this way we get an extra song on the radio, and an extra video.

bye bye High & Dry :(

beat me to it! ;)
