Two nights at the Bercy, Paris. Then on to Cologne. So here we are. The Koln Arena, Cologne, Deutschland. I’m taking advantage of the internet connection in the tour management office, before they arrive with the band later on. We had a travel day/day off yesterday after the French finale in Paris. I went for a run by the Rhine to explore Cologne. The tour is flying by. Hard to believe that we are done in Spain and France already. It was great to work with Oxfam France Agir-ici. The volunteers worked their socks off getting over 5000 signatures for the Health and Education For All pledge. That’s fantastic work. One volunteer even travelled twice from Marseille, just to help Oxfam in Lyon and Paris. I met some great people. I especially want to thank Amelia, Maria and Nina for all their work helping to coordinate everything. Merci! The shows in Paris again sounded great. I didn’t get to see much this time, but the volunteers and crowd seemed pleased with what they saw! The Bercy was an odd looking venue. Kind of like a huge swimming pool risen out of the ground with grass and sprinklers on the sides (I wonder what image that conjours up for you..) I only figured out where all the entrances and exits were, just before we left! The digital technician, Neill had a go at scaling the Bercy, and found out how slippery that grass was.. Walking into the venue today, it towers above you like the hockey stadiums of N. America. A huge arch hangs above it (a bit like a mini-Wembley-arch). Everything seems to be in it’s place (apart from this blogger, who is in the managers office!) Oh, and the band aren’t here yet, but don’t worry, they will be. When our Oxfam volunteers arrive, it should be time for another great night of sign-ups. Time to get ready!

September 12, 2008 - submitted by Regina, Italy Q. Welcome back, Oracle! I'd like to know where I can find "Chris Martin's Haitian Diary" and then I have not another question but an idea: we know people who study sky find a new star very often and then they call it with a number, so what about contact someone to make a star call "COLDPLAY"? It would be really amazing!! What do you think to that, Oracle? Is it possible? May it require too much money or what? And how may we help you? Oh, Oracle, "...Look at the stars, look how they shine for you..." Thanks The Oracle replies: You can find the diary on the Make Trade Fair website here. There are actually plenty of companies that for a fee allow you to name your own star. They sell them as unique personalised gifts. I haven't told the band this but actually I always sing the line 'Look at the stars, look how they shine for you' as reference to the fans being the stars that shine for the band. That's how it feels at their concerts for me. September 12, 2008 - submitted by Tom, Peru Q. Please Oracle, answer my question. Is Kylie Minogue the muse of Coldplay? They played "Can't get out of my head" live, and talked about her in a recent interview. The Oracle replies: No, she is a friend of the band and they worked together earlier this year. They sang Can't Get You Out of My Head at Glastonbury in 2005 as a tribute to her; she was due to headline the following night. As Kylie was undergoing treatment at that time all her appearances were cancelled. back September 12, 2008 - submitted by Thibault, France Q. Dear Oracle, "the manager Phil Harvey is a childhood friend of Chris Martin", is it true ? The Oracle replies: Yes, Chris & Phil go way back. He's not their manager though. He was up until A Rush Of Blood... He returned in 2006 and is considered to be the band's 5th member. September 12, 2008 - submitted by Ruth, United States of America Q. On Viva La Vida it credits Tim Crompton for "Good advice". Who is this wise Mr. Crompton? The Oracle replies: Tim is one of the band's closest friends. He is a singer, songwriter and musician. He was in a band called Coldplay and then he changed that name to The Bettina Motive. He's currently in The High Wire.
