[Article] Yellow Is Just a Colour
Yellow Is Just a Colour Greg Gutfield (ie: Idiot) In Atlanta, which I believe is in Georgia, Asian-American activists are pissed that the city has re-named the train route within its Asian community the "Yellow Line." They maintain "yellow" carries a negative connotation among Asians and want officials to change the name to "gold." We went to the color "yellow" for comment, but as you know, it cannot speak for yellow is a color. It has no feelings, thoughts or pulse. It is incapable of racism, because it's incapable of anything, other than being yellow. I suspect, like other colors used to describe train lines (blue, red, green), it's simply serves as navigation, without intent to offend. But let's ponder the word yellow. It also means "cowardly" and therefore can insult everyone. It's also the shade of bananas, cabs and phone books. I hate bananas, cabs and phone books, but I still don't hate the color. I really hate Coldplay — their song "Yellow" makes me violently ill — but I still don't hate the color. I just hate Chris Martin and he's not even yellow. He's more asparagus green. My point is: I'm a grown-up. When a producer accuses me of being "short" to a guest, I know they're not referring to my height and I'm practically a midget. Yet, if I get on my tippy-toes, I can see the difference. So I say to you, Center for Pan Asian Community Service, lighten up. I get the sensitivity over the racial nature of "yellow," but you're better than that. Accusing city planners of bigotry over a color makes you look silly. You can argue until you're blue in the face, turn red with rage, but in the end, yellow is just a color; like fuchsia — just not as awesome. And if you disagree with me, then you're probably Gwyneth Paltrow. Source: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,585375,00.html

The Top 50 Coldplay Songs - An Alternative Top Coldplay List
Yay, nice for it to be divided up. For those who don't have 500 posts, don't take offence! He had to cut it off somehow, we know there are many of you who may have been fans for ages and just joined here. I mean, I've been a fan from the beginning, but only joined this board early last year...

Coldplay End of Decade Clearout Sale (catalogue discussion pg43 onwards, winning item pics pg151 onw
ARGH!!! The Oracle mentioned you!! February 10, 2010 - submitted by Mat, United States of America Q. In one of the Coldplay posters featured during the Viva tour there is a globe that is above Chris' and Guy's head. Is this the same globe pictured on the Parachutes album? The Oracle replies: It isn't the same globe. Up until the recent Kids Company auction the original globe was in storage; now it belongs to Carrie in Michigan.

~*~ The Official Will Champion Appreciation Thread ~*~
Yeah, there is alot of Will time in it. I love the multiple angle thing you can do so you can just see what each of them does throughout the whole song! :awesome: Will's is funny since the camera shakes a lot from his drumming and he wipes his face like 50000 times! The best parts are when there are no drums and he's just fidgeting around like he doesn't know what to do! :lol:

Yeah, you HAVE to do it. I mean, you have THE GLOBE! It's the one thing that I think they would wonder about since it's such a huge icon in their early career. At the very least, I'm sure Anchorman would tell/show the boys and it will make their day I'm sure to know it's not sitting on some investor's shelf or on Ebay, but in the hands of a true fan!

Grammy Nominations! (awards ceremony 31st January 2010 - Coldplay up for LiTii twice!)
Finally watched it and yuk, this year's Grammy's were poo. I did like Pink's performance, although I had already seen it when I went to see her and The Ting Tings last year with my little sister... I was kind of surprised she even did the water dipping part, lol... I wonder how many celebs were upset about getting a little water on themselves :rolleyes:

[Article] The 'Lost' Season Premiere Requires Coldplay, Weezer And 50 Cent
Tuesday night (February 2) marks the beginning of the end for one of the most beloved, talked-about, over-analyzed television show in the history of the medium. "Lost" kicks off its sixth and final season tonight, with a recap episode at 8 p.m. and the actual premiere right after. What began as a show about a bunch of people who live through a plane crash and try to survive on a strange, uncharted tropical island has blossomed into a twisting and turning narrative about mysticism, time travel, military research and paranoia. The show has built its reputation through a countless series of mysteries, and has kept fans on the hook by asking seven new questions for every one answered. It's an incredible show that rewards repeat viewings and countless online discussions among superfans. Like any great cultural moment, tonight's "Lost" premiere requires the proper soundtrack. Though it has a vibe that is rosier than the darkness underlying the show, Weezer's "Island in the Sun" is certainly an appropriate song to spin. The show has done a great job of "Building a Mystery," which is why cranking up the Sarah McLachlan should get you in the mood. And though the show has asked many, many more, "21 Questions" is a good place to start (thanks, 50 Cent). "Lost" doesn't have theme music (though Michael Giacchino provides excellent score), but if it did, that theme song should be Blondie's "Island of Lost Souls." It's got everything: References to islands, the word "lost" in the title and a video featuring a bunch of creepy characters on a beach. Check it out below, along with other videos from Coldplay, Angels and Airwaves, Red Hot Chili Peppers and a host of others. Source: http://newsroom.mtv.com/2010/02/02/lost-season-premiere/

November is the cut-off, so they might get it out in time, who knows. I think Muse will get one or two nominations...

Grammy Nominations! (awards ceremony 31st January 2010 - Coldplay up for LiTii twice!)
Sucks they didn't win anything... but Strawberry Swing wasn't eligible to be nominated since it was from VLVODAAHF, while LiTii was from Prospekt's March. It was eligible since it was released in November of '08...

The Simpsons: Coldplay's Chris Martin among season 21 guests
Coldplay's Chris Martin Guest Stars On 'The Simpsons' Following in the footsteps of other rock-and-roll luminaries such as Aerosmith, Sting, Metallica and a guy pretending to be Michael Jackson, Coldplay front-lad Chris Martin will lend his voice and likeness to an episode of "The Simpsons" airing Sunday called "Million Dollar Maybe." The new episode sees Homer standing up Marge for a date, instead spending his evening winning the Springfield lottery jackpot. He decides to blow some of his newfound cash on gifts for the family, including front-row seats to a Coldplay show for himself and Bart. From their seats, they're able to speak with Martin, and Homer tries to talk his way onstage. Hilarious hijinks no doubt ensue. Check out some behind-the-scenes footage of Martin doing his lines: We can only hope that they're able to convince the band to play their first American hit single, "Yellow."

He posted pics of Chris' guitar and Will's 'Talk' drum. I don't believe the piano or SS outfit have had that treatment yet, although we did get to see the packaging from their travels on the Tube!
