You were up early/late last night! How did I miss this ha! Thanks for posting

This thread has been neglected! Here's a nice article News http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw/hes-produced-coldplay-but-jon-hopkins-is-now-flying-solo-and-looking-to-laneway-festival/story-fni0cx12-1227183269401?nk=3ccbb8a0afd83736b2886f083513e446 He’s produced Coldplay but Jon Hopkins is now flying solo and looking to Laneway Festival He’s produced Coldplay, been nominated for an Ivor Novello award and compared to Brian Eno but 2014 was still a breakout year for British producer/musician Jon Hopkins. Immunity, Hopkins’ fourth studio album, drew almost universal critical acclaim and took the 35-year-old “from playing to 300 people to 5000”. An album of two halves that veers from precise, heavy, warm electronica to reflective piano ballads, Hopkins, who plays Laneway at Sydney College of the Arts, Rozelle on February 1, said the album’s success has given him a freedom he never previously enjoyed. It hasn’t affected my ambition in terms of wanting to keep exploring but what it has done is given me the freedom to only do my own stuff,” he said. “Previously my solo stuff had never done as well as what I’d done with bands so I couldn’t justify spending too much time on it. Before Immunity, Hopkins was perhaps best known for his work as a co-producer on Coldplay’s 2008 album Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, where he also co-wrote album-opener Life in Techicolor and played on several tracks. But, after the recent release of Asleep version — an EP of remixes from Immunity — it’s his new album that’s currently occupying his mind. Coldplay, celebrate after winning the Grammy Award for the Best Rock Album for their album Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends, produced by Jon Hopkins. Picture: AFP PHOTO/Robyn Beck “I don’t instinctively feel like I want to work with bands anymore. I have an ongoing relationship with some people and I’d like to do more with them, with Wild Beasts and with Coldplay but I don’t want to work with new people I don’t think. I just want to get another album out first and worry about the other stuff later.” Despite the recent rise in profile, Hopkins said he’ll tailor his Laneway show to suit those who’ve never heard his music as well as his Australian fans. “On the festival shows I tend to focus more on the upbeat side of the albums, so at Laneway you won’t hear the piano ballads so much, it’s more of an upbeat set,” he said. “I like to assume my music isn’t popular anywhere, that leads to some pleasant surprises. I was really pleased last time I went to Australia to find that I could sell out a show in Sydney and I’m really pleased to be at Laneway because that’s an awesome line up.” The 35-year-old picked out fellow electronic artists Caribou and Flying Lotus as ones to watch at Laneway Festival. The Laneway tour, which takes in shows around Australia, Singapore and New Zealand, will be one of the last times Hopkins tours Immunity, with just a few one-off UK shows scheduled as he begins work on a new album he hopes to have ready by the end of the year.

hmmmm, I have my ways :sneaky: and lots of Coldplay Karma

breaks my heart but over the years this is where I met one of my bff's Cookymnstr, where my homemade "Warning Sign" sign was made, had amazing spots, seats, real estate, got to go to "Friends & Family" with the Amazing Miss Angie, got up close and personal, took some of my best photos ever and finally got to hear my favorite song in the world, Warning Sign. So many wonderful memories.

We wish you the happiest of birthdays to our favorite band in the world!! 17 years of musical, magical bliss! Bring on the Cake! We love you!!

Thanks for the article jeremyy :)
