Do you do anything other than sarcastically whine at people? Dear god..

If Wedding Bells isn't on it, Rihanna's getting throttled

Just to clarify, there's no booklet with the book, just 4 pages of the big book have about 6 different pictures per page of the little booklet, so you have to strain your eyes to read it.

I used to be a car kid, but then I took a golden arrow to the knee...

Yup. The ones I can make out for Mylo Xyloto go In my head in my brain in my head all These feelings I just can't explain Left to Right top to toes we're in flight and we're going where nobody knows under the ocean by a whale swallowed whole swallowed me whole poetry in motion we're both down here losing control sellotaping my soul

Not disappointed at all, in fact I prefer there being more notebook stuff rather than more pop-ups. For example, we now know Mylo Xyloto and A Hopeful Transmission were actual songs (there's some lyrics accompanying them in the book)

Yup, but the rest is amazing.

Also I think the pop up in the middle is meant to represent Mylo Xyloto (the alien). It's got legs and arms.

Got mine, it's pretty cool (nice and big!)

It pains me to think they canned Wedding Bells only to put this shit on the album

If you pause both clips, you'll see they're actually two different shots of the same place.

Just left of the red mess in the middle, you can see the symbol for Us Against The World, and it looks like the "CK" are joined up, so it's not actually a CK. It's more obscured on the after version

Did we find out what it meant? Was it a song lyric?

Love how they spelt A Hopeful Transmission as "A Hopefull Transmission" in the download. Shame on them!

http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/c/coldplay/us_against_the_world_crd.htm Using the above tuning and chords to play us against the world, I realised that it uses the exact same chords as A Message, in the same order. Your thoughts?

Eh?

I quote this article: http://coldplaying.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=7642 "Pressed about the title, Mr. Martin described a kind of mythical character signifying the wonder of artistic inspiration. “Music comes from a place we don’t know,” he said. “It sort of comes through the fingers and toes. So we came up with the idea of, what if you had musical digits, like xylo toes.” He shook his head, irritated that he gave up the secret so easily. And what about “Mylo”? “It’s just a great name,” he said. “For anything.”" Essentially Mylo Xyloto is a person, a mythical character (likely the fuzzy man) who feels/creates the pulse of music through his fingers and toes (his Xylo-toes). So he's Mylo Xyloto! :D

LOVE the fact they filmed in Belsize Park underground station, the one 5 minutes away from the Beehive/Bakery. So good seeing it again :D

I'd read it was Chris's vocals sped up, but was curious as to what he'd be singing.

Sounds a bit like Japanese Boy by Aneka the way they've done it [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsfXNOmo7Pg]Aneka-Japanese Boy Lyrics - YouTube[/ame]
