Sign me up.

First off, sorry this is late. I actually listened to the mixtape a couple of weeks back, I just didn't post the review until today after giving the mixtape a second listen. 1. This was a decent alt rock song and the vocals are ok, but I just wasn’t feeling it. 2. This was another alt rock song that was again ok, but I wasn’t feeling it either. Although I think I liked the vocals of this one better than the first. 3. I really like the intro of this song and the entire song overall which had kind of an indie rock vibe going on and an energy to it I really dug. 4. I couldn’t listen to this track because it was a protected itunes song and I wasn’t authorized to listen to it. 5. Same as for number 4. 6. This song had an indie feel just like number 3, but it also was a bit more pop like. I really enjoyed it because it had an almost danceable groove to it and sounded like something I would listen to. 7. Number 7 is a mello rock song. I really liked the mood of this song. 8. I instantly knew this was a Death Cab for Cutie song. It’s Marching Bands of Manhattan from their album Plans. I’m a Death Cab for Cutie fan so I was glad to hear a familiar song. 9. This was another mello rock song, and while I didn’t dislike it, I also found it very hard to get into this song, maybe because of the lyrics. 10. The tone of the mixtape changed up here with a great upbeat Reggae song about love. It’s also probably the first song on the mixtape that it’d be easy to dance to. I could see me adding this to my party playlist for when people are over. 11. Number 11 was another good danceable song that also had kind of a Death Cab for Cutie feel to it. 12. This song really confused me. It had elements of electronic and pop and I like it, and I could swear that’s the voice of Ben Gibbards from Death Cab for Cutie, but I’ve never heard this song and it doesn’t have a Death Cab feel to it. 13. I know that this is Vampire Weekend but I’ve not heard this song. I enjoyed it and it’s got an indie rock vibe going along with what sounds like some Caribbean influenced beats. 14. The mixtape ends with a good soul song by John Legend. Overall, I’d say this is an enjoyable mixtape that starts week then gets stronger. It’s mostly a collection of alternative and indie rock songs that range from decent to great. Again, I couldn't get tracks 4 and 5 to play but otherwise this mixtape is an enjoyable listen. Score: 7.5/10

I'll join in too.

I love this show. I used to watch it all the time, and for a while, Colin Mochrie was my favorite comedian.

Would anyone be able to send me a copy (USA)? *edit I live in both Chicago, Illiniois and San Antonio, Texas. So whichever would be easiest.

This makes me very happy. I like Naturally 7 and I love Coldplay, and much as I like the old stuff, I love when they experiment with new sounds and directions. And I think that a lot of their stuff could go great with a little bit of rap.

I thoroughly enjoyed the song. Chris was right in that one interview he did where me mentioned the song was "too sexy for the new album" or something like that. It's definitely different than the usual Coldplay stuff, and I love the new album, but I wish there'd been more stuff like this on the EP and album. And is it me, or is his voice even lower in "Lhuna" than on "Yes"?

It's no Grey Album, but it's good. I've been waiting for a Coldplay Jay-Z mashup for a while. Ever since I heard the Grey Album. Now I'm set. I'm still going through my first listen, but off the top of my head I'm going to say that Take the Hill, Science is Ignorant, and A Spy's Prayer are my favs so far.

I'm excited. The first thing I thought after first hearing Danger Mouse's The Grey Album was that it was f***ing amazing. The second is that I really wanted him to make a Jay-Z/Coldplay mashup because I was sure that that would work and be great. So I'm excited for this project even though it's not helmed by Danger Mouse and it looks like a good bit of the music will be recreated.

I thought both videos were great. I thought the official one was good and colorful, and it was great that you could see all of the band, especially singing. But I think the second one was better because it fits the song more and is pretty funny.

According to Rolling Stone's interview with Martin, both confirmed it was "fox" and was named after the news network. I never would have guessed but it makes sense now. Martin saw Bill O'Reilly on TV and some people think O'Reilly thinks he's god. http://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/21185368/page/2 And people say Coldplay doesn't get political in their songs.
