Say Hello 87

oh plus i forgot that when they played st. paul a few days ago chris told the crowd they would be back in the near future with some new music as well, i dont know if that just means the ep, or a new album or whatever, but its good news anyways. plus, its only their 4th record (excluding the live one), they really do have quite a long way to go in that sense.

plus, can you even see chris having a normal job? didnt think so.

remember that there has been plenty of inteviews since this record has come out about how they are going to basically keep going as a band...they may not have put it in plain choice of words like "we will make 5 more albums" type thing, but there has been plenty, plenty of different things all the members have said about continuing on from where will has said that the first 3 albums are a trilogy and this is the new direction to when chris said this record is the first album in this direction and they want to see where it ends up...plus, coldplay has never ever been the type of band to plan anything to far, so asking them about their next record regardless of what an interview said about the future when they havent even played 1 hometown gig in london is shooting a bit too far... weve still got an entire year ahead of us of more viva la vida promotion so lets all relax and continue to enjoy this record for a while as well as the ep when its released.

my opinion is that i agree with what he's saying to a certain extent, the other "biggest bands" in the world have been on holiday making new records and such, but the thing is, regardless of that, coldplay will always sell out concerts and sell records, because they write great songs and that will never ever change due to some other band being big at the time. yes they all have families and children and such, but if you think about it, chris has been planning the end of the band since parachutes was released and he always says this can end tomorrow so they always try and make the best of it. the only thing that worries me is that with this ep being released in a few weeks, that officially marks the end of their contract to EMI. so who really knows what will happen after the touring cycle for viva la vida is done. they may call it quits, they may make another 15 records and just tour differently who knows. im not worried about it until it happens, and even then there is always other bands that will be around to help make up for it if coldplay does take a break or call it quits, they have been an amazing band to say the least and they have been a majorly part of my life, but honestly, i dont see this as being it, i really dont. i respect them to the utmost and whatever decision they choose to do is up to them obviously. but viva la vida cannot be the last coldplay record simply because its a brand new sound for them. im sure they want to explore other areas of it before its all said and done. the only difference might be there record releases and touring schedule.

hey all, just got home and finished editing my photos from the show, i was rather close (7th row on the floor) and so i got a few really cool/weird pictures of chris and johnny rocking out together and stuff, including a picture of when i thought chris was passed out before launching right into "Lost?". The setlist is correct, although the coolest part of the show for me was when they came back on for their first encore and launched right into "Politik", that song is one of my favorites but just the way the did it where no one was expecting it anyways was the coolest feeling in the world. But the best song of the night for me for some reason was "The Escapist" because live the song transitions soooo much better then I could have ever imagined, and it totally sounds horribly bad on the record compared to a live setting. They played "Chinese Sleep Chant" as well, which was a incredibly treat and they also did a very, very cool techno version of "Viva La Vida" on the speakers inbetween their "in the crowd" acoustic section. If anyone knows more about that part and where I can find that techno version please let me know, I loved it, along with the 5 minutes straight of cell phones that litup the entire place. it was beautiful. So for a first Coldplay show, it was the best show I have ever been to. Cant wait until the next U.S. tour or next album! I do have pictures, but I dont know how to upload them through here yet.

Hey everyone, Im super sorry for spamming this but its part of my job. Anyways, I work for a company called EF COLLEGE BREAK (http://www.efcollegebreak.com) What they do is provide college kids in the united states, and canada (sorry for everyone else) a opportunity to see the entire world on an educational level. I know that sounds boring, but what they do is they run tours all summer long (and new years as well) to basically every country in the world such as ALL of Europe, China, Japan, Costa Rica, Australia, Ireland, and many more. Now these tours run anywhere from 1 week (7 days) all the way through 35 days (ultimate Europe). This company gets the best packaged deals as well, and the price on the tour includes EVERYTHING except for food and spending money, but that means it covers round trips airfare, hotels, transfers, entrances to attractions (depending on what city you are in), full time EFCB tour director, and much more!! Now if you are interested and are between the ages of 18-26 (college age) and you feel like spending next summer '09, new years eve '10, and summer of '10 overseas. Then please email me back with any questions or concerns!! This company DOES get the BEST packaged prices. Also since I am a CM (Campus Manager) for them, I have a special code that if you use it when you book a trip (which only costs $150 dollars, and then you can take up until 60 days prior to your departure date to pay it off) that gets you a awesome discount on the trip itself, depending on how big the trip is. So please, please, please checkout the website http://www.efcollegebreak.com and checkout their trips for this summer and next summer '10 and email me back or message me through here with any questions! And remember, you can use my special code to get a discount! And also remember to invite your friends with you as well! Thanks!! Sean

its not frickin out everywhere yet.... :(

im sorry but live nation doesnt even have a omaha date anymore...idk what to tell you

im not sure but i read somewhere that half of these dates that got postponed are being cancelled, and there is no rescheduled dates to be announced unless its announced within the next day or so. like my date was pushed back to november, but ticketmaster removed like 5 shows from the site..

this is what i get for downloading their leaked album a week before release date, a great summer show pushed back 4 months. karma sucks.

dammit, shit, im not super happy about this, i was so stoked to see them on july 8th it worked out great for me for a summer show and now my show is frickin the middle of november, dammit thats lame. screw their production haha, i just wanna see them play. frickin november 14th?? u serious coldplay????? come on.
