Hilarious!!!! :laugh3: Thalia, you crack me up!!! :D

I think they all looked a bit tired, Will as well :confused: And yes, I looked at it again and Chris was indeed imitating a (strangled) chicken :laugh3:

Thanks for clarifying what they were talking about 'cause I didn't get it at all :laugh3: I was probably too much distracted by a certain brown eyed guy (double meaning here, YAY! :D ).

Another nice video of Guy laughing: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMCibuucaaQ]YouTube - Coldplay 100 Fuse Interview Part 3[/ame] The only 'annoying' thing is that the voices are a bit lagging but you'll be rewarded at approx. 4:40 min. :heart: :bomb: :smug:

You know ... everyone of us, even multi-million-earning bass players, have bad hair days :laugh3: :sneaky:

Made my choice as well, although there are quite a few which I would gladly wear :) Very good work, Anna and Camille :)

Never mind ;) As long as you don't copy my storyline (which is VERY unlikely :sneaky: ) I am fine :) And I guess you couldn't know anyway ;)

Sorry, but my story already has this title :P :laugh3:

Not cuter but a lot cooler and more casual!! I just loved the pictures from Sydney (or was it Perth) with his ripped jeans and the plaid shirt :smug:

Exactly! These were already my thoughts some weeks ago :\ Ah ... oh well ... unless they don't run a competition to invite a winner over to the bakery it will never happen :wink3:

Thanks :) So you like it? :cool:

It got me all excited to read this blog and the hint about the new music. I mean, even if he got all excited about it ... :stunned: I soooo can't wait to hear anything new, maybe even at the summer concerts?? :wink3:

I reckon' it's Jonny as Chris is probably still in L.A. with Gwyn and the kids.

Roadie #42 - Blog #79 April 20, 2009 4:19 pm #42 blogs while the band work on new tunes After three glorious weeks of real life, families, home and becoming human again we're back to a quick stint of recording. There has been some listening back to things recorded earlier in the year and some exploring of new ideas. 

 Will has a new toy for drum programming which has sent him on a beat-making odyssey. He rolls up today with a new idea and announces cheerfully to all that, "It's in seven four time and it's 168 bpm". For those of you less versed in music theory, "Seven four time" means that when he kicks off the drum machine, everyone spends a lot of time asking, "Where's the one?". Meanwhile, "168 bpm" means that everyone is getting confused very quickly.

 Slowly, from the chaos comes great beauty. The concentration of feeling the beat has forced everyone to play in an open and simple manner. Before long, a gentle and chilled piece builds up with an utterly joyous feel. It's a great kick-start to the week. Layers of vocals are added until it becomes a rich, complex weave. 

 Two hours ago all that existed was a loop in Will's laptop. Now there is solid piece that is joyous, beautiful and filling all present with enthusiasm. 

It's a sure sign that things are going well, when everyone is back from lunch early. The afternoon continues with the most filthy funk I've heard from these guys. Jonny, in particular, has coaxed a sound from the Moog synth that borders on the obscene. 

 We're back now into odd time signatures with a piece from last week in five four time. They're all standing together around one mic about five feet to my right. I remember back at the start of the X&Y tour when the idea of anyone but Will doing backing vocals was very strange indeed (not least to Guy and Jonny!). Now they're a very tight and rich vocal group. Doubtless Brian is very proud...

 I seem to be spinning as many plates as ever right now, so rather than wait until I have time to write an epic, I'll sign off now. I will say though, that although the material here is in its most embryonic form it's not just promising, it's astonishing. His blog gets me all excited to hear this new music :D

There are several Ben Jones, so which is the addy?

He's probably asking other forums as well :laugh3: But I'm going to search for him just now ;)

See you there, I'll be in Hannover as well, but I have seating tickets to the left side of the stage (Jonny/Chris side). For the concert in Munich I have standing tickets though :) Can't wait as well! :D

Thanks so much :) I am really happy that so many people seem to like it. It's a bit long, so I wouldn't be surprised if people loose interest in reading it :laugh3: But it's coming to an end soon :)

I want Chris shirt! :sneaky: Not that it would fit me, but ... oh well ... :laugh3:

These pics make today's sunny day even more sunny :smug: :heart:
