The Sun+ article. I got the trial membership, just to reveal one quote from their source :S Hopefully they'll have more over the next two months! The 'new info' is highlighted in bold --------- Disclaimer - for news reporting purposes, for those outside of the UK S CLUB 7 recently ruled out recording new music. But their fans needn’t worry – CHRIS MARTIN will be keeping the legend alive. I’ve learned that COLDPLAY’s seventh album is being masterminded by top producers STARGATE – the brains behind some of S Club’s biggest hits. The Norwegian duo – real names TOR ERIK HERMANSEN and MIKKEL STORLEER ERIKSEN – are responsible for classics including S Club Party and Two In A Million, as well as BLUE’s All Rise and One Love. In fairness, they were behind BEYONCE’s Irreplaceable too. Now Chris and the gang have got them to produce new release A Head Full Of Dreams. A source revealed: “Chris wants the material to have a stronger pop sound.” If there’s not a cover of Reach as a bonus track I’ll be sorely disappointed.

That's awesome, enjoy :D I think Barca will be too much with them with their front three

I'm not fond of him to say the least, after this: [video=youtube;b09QzXjBQCA] I don't think a trigger happy ref is a good one, can ruin a spectacle. However, wouldn't mind seeing this guy ref a CL final :D [video=youtube;WyoEo1YaOpI]

X&Y officially turns 10 today!! :o (UK time)

Out of all Turkish refs, they had to pick him lol... I can see a red card for sure, he likes making headlines

The thread for the Champions League final, as Juventus take on Suarez. Will Pirlo expose Barca's lack of a #10 or will superhuman Messi reign supreme again? Make your predictions here! Kick off : Saturday June 6th, 7.45pm UK time (2.45pm Eastern) 'A Sky Full Of Stars' will also feature during the opening ceremony, according to Globo Esporte (Thanks to Coldplaybrasil.com)

Note - text votes (Would class Graziella's reply above as one) also count because the thumbs up button is not on the mobile app. We can go through it all at the end of the month though and just add the votes on :)

Only one day away until the 10 year mark, since 'X&Y' was released! Here are two full walkthroughs and commentaries for you all, before the celebrations. The audio commentary, via Soundcloud below is from an unknown radio station, with thanks to Dexynboy, who posted it under 'Project X&Y' a few months back. Soundcloud link <iframe width="100%" height="450" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/208824913&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true"></iframe> The second walkthrough from the band was with British radio station, XFM: Chris Martin and Johnny Buckland talked XFM’s John Kennedy through each and every track on their third album, ‘X&Y’: ‘Square One’ “I remember it sounding like Dire Straits – it sounded like ‘Brothers In Arms’ a bit, or maybe I’m thinking of ‘Road To Hell’ by Chris Rea… But it sounded like something.” ‘What If’ “Actually, it came in the middle of the night one night. It came out in one go. It took about a year to record.” ‘White Shadows’ “I think as people listen to the album more it’ll become its own thing more, but it’ll also become apparent how much we’ve plagiarised. To me, really, at the end of our album we should’ve had a bibliography.” ‘Fix You’ “It’s supposed to be a church organ but it isn’t. In fact it’s a keyboard that my father-in-law gave to Gwyneth my wife, and it sat in the house for ages and then I turned it on one day and it had these amazing sounds on it.” ‘Talk’ “We were just mucking around like two young men, doing what boys do. Naked. Naked as the day we were born.” ‘X&Y’ “A lot of people lay into the lyrics, but to me they’re just the questions that everybody has. Whether you’re a famous, or ex-famous, pop star or whatever, I’m sure everyone has some of these questions. Or maybe it’s just me.” ‘Speed Of Sound’ “‘Speed of Sound’ is about the miracles that surround us every day that we take for granted. For example, Johnny Buckland.” ‘A Message’ “Funnily enough it’s a very toiletry-based song, because I wrote it with no clothes on and in the morning I showed it to John and I played it to him in a men’s… in a gentleman’s room. You know what I’m trying to say.” ‘Low’ “This is when we went back and re-recorded a load of the other ones ‘cos Johnny had kind of switched on at that point. He spent ten months following along and then decided to be a guitar hero.” ‘The Hardest Part’ “It has absolutely no invention in it whatsoever, but it’s one of those songs which you can’t ignore. For us it’s kind of our tribute to REM.” ‘Swallowed In The Sea’ “This song was one of the first songs we finished writing, so it was always on the album but we took ages to get it right, we recorded it about 100 million different ways…” ‘Twisted Logic’ “It’s our first attempt at singing something which isn’t about a girl or girls or friends. it’s as politicial as we’ve been able to get, and it’s supposed to be an optimistic end to the album.”

Bit of a nothing but the song titles registered on ASCAP changed to reflect the musical. One being A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS (STILL GOIN' STRONG)

Quite the U-turn from the dire 4.9/10 review, 10 years ago!

"Looking like shit is good for you! Do as I do! Look like shit!" https://t.co/EqIEPkSCHY Haha, could catch on :P

Didn't notice the date, It wouldn't be anything major then, gonna lock :)

Looks that way, according to this Tweet:

Updated the first post. A rumoured venue in Brazil. A few tours to be announced soon, according to Jason Regler. Coldplay a possibility, of course!

My bad, I actually meant Defector's my favourite, got them mixed up, although I still like Revolt because of the vocals and it's catchy :)

Based on the Muse forums, fans seem to have an unreachable expectation with each album, so it's not surprising they don't rate most of their new efforts. Listened to the unheard songs from the album a few times when driving and I am impressed. I think it's a very consistent album and would rate it at the top end of their albums, behind Absolution and BHAR. Revolt is the best song on the album for me, followed by Dead Inside and The Handler

Didn't think this would happen so soon! Good riddance ;) Hopefully things will change for the better now, in world football/soccer :) ---- Link As FIFA, soccer’s world governing body, faces sweeping corruption charges, its controversial and oft-criticized president has made the abrupt decision to resign. Moments ago at a hastily-assembled FIFA press conference, Sepp Blatter announced he is vacating his post. "FIFA's interests are dear to me. That’s why I have taken this decision," Blatter said. His resignation comes just four days after Blatter was re-elected to a fifth term as FIFA's top official and ends a tumultuous 17 years atop the organization. "That election is over but FIFA’s challenges are not. FIFA needs a profound overhaul," he said. Blatter repeatedly acknowledged that FIFA is in need of serious change as the US Justice Department pursues racketeering, wire fraud, money laundering, and other charges against some of his underlings. US investigators are also examining the bidding process for both the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, which are scheduled to take place in Qatar and Russia. Last year, Last Week Tonight's John Oliver assailed FIFA's murky business practices in a lengthy and pointed criticism of the organization that quickly went viral. Reacting to the recent arrests on Sunday's episode, Oliver said, "I don't know what I'm more surprised by — that FIFA officials were actually arrested, or that America was behind it. It took the country that cares the least about football to bring down the people who have been ruining it." Like many others, Oliver was dismayed that the United States isn't yet going after FIFA's top boss. "To truly kill a snake, you must cut off its head — or, in this case, its asshole," he said Sunday. But the early charges may just be the beginning; Blatter's sudden exit hints that he may see the writing on the wall as authorities work to uncover the full scale of FIFA's wrongdoing.
