Michael Brauer tweeted this yesterday: "wow, what a week, mixed some great music for Daryl hall( i can't get his hooks out of my head) and a couple songs for ... somebody else." Could Coldplay be the "somebody else"? , it seems very likely. :sneaky:

If you ask me, i'm almost certain that Chris is high in the studio feed video. Go to 0:07 - 0:09 , his eyes look like slits, he has a unusually large smile and he seems to be acting very lethargic. After all most people experience heightened creativity including myself when influenced under pot. which could be used when recording a album. Although it is also possible it could be early in the morning or he could be tired from working long hours on the album. :confused: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zTqklX4p40]YouTube - STUDIOFEED #1[/ame]

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's their first pilgrimage to Worthy Farm since 2005 - when they went down a storm. Glasto guru MICHAEL EAVIS and his event organisers have been chasing CHRIS MARTIN and the lads to make a return - as Bizarre revealed in October. And this week the rockers finally put pen to paper on the deal. One massive outfit who will not be performing in Pilton are the ROLLING STONES. Bash bosses had tabled a huge offer for MICK JAGGER's gang to make their festival debut at Glasto, which kicks off on June 22. But after mulling over the deal for the past three months, the veterans have turned down the chance. A source said: "Getting the Stones to Glastonbury has been high on Michael Eavis's list of priorities for a long time. He came really really close this time round. "He came up with an incredibly tempting offer and Mick and the rest of the band were considering it closely but they ultimately decided to turn it down." Still, Coldplay aren't too much of a shonky replacement. Their back catalogue is filled with anthems perfect for the Pyramid Stage. And they're bound to get a massive welcome. UK crowds don't get much bigger than the 200,000 or so who squeeze into the Somerset site for the huge bash.

In my post near the wall, sand castle at this point is left open to continue the definition of standing pillar of salt :laugh3:

The article says "Here's another track rumoured to appear on a 2011 album" so its not for sure. Personally I don't think they would include it on the new record, I'm pretty sure it just for the latin american tour only. Chris even said himself, the song was to "celebrate what the band thinks of the latin american audiences"

Thats what I'm wondering, thats some of the best photography I have ever seen :o

Everytime I tell my friends that my favourite artist is Coldplay they either don't believe me or jokingly call me a fag and laugh, sometimes I dodge this by answering with "Kanye West" :lol: , So I would have to say those are my only "Embarrassing Coldplay Moments"

Hilarious interview with Gwyneth on "Conan" (Chris Mentioned) Here it is. :) Although the whole interview is pretty funny, if you would just like to see the part Chris is mentioned, its from 3:57 - 4:25 , If you want to see Conan and Gwyneth talk about British Christmas go to 4:58 - 5:55 <object width='442' height='375' classid='clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000' id='ep'><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='allowscriptaccess' value='always' /><param name='movie' value='http://i.cdn.turner.com/tegwebapps/tbs/tbs-www/cvp/teamcoco_432x243_embed.swf?context=teamcoco_embed_offsite&videoId=237669' /><param name='bgcolor' 'value='#000000' /><embed src='http://i.cdn.turner.com/tegwebapps/tbs/tbs-www/cvp/teamcoco_432x243_embed.swf?context=teamcoco_embed_offsite&videoId=237669' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' bgcolor='#000000' allowfullscreen='true' allowscriptaccess='always' width='442' height='375'></embed></object>

What does it mean for an album to be "intimate" ? Does it mean the album will focus on a familiar sound that early fans have enjoyed from the past? (Parachutes) :thinking:

The article states "The band have confirmed they are finally on the verge of releasing their "concept" album." but yet again it contradicts that by saying: "The chaotic recording sessions left them with a lot of half-formed and half-completed tracks, he adds. "We spent a year making a lot of noise. You know those things in a fairground where you have bran in a tub and in there are some hidden prizes? That's sort of where we are at," Does that above statement mean they have a while to go?, I am confused :thinking:

"Can I categorically say here and now that Christmas Lights is a stand alone song and has absolutely no bearing on what is to follow. Nor is it any indication of any kind as to when the album will be released" - Oracle

Naa, its just you, im on the site as I type this

I couldn't agree more, Im guessing april at the earliest and august at the latest. I cant imagine them taking another year to work on the album when they basically have all the songs recorded, there simply isnt that much left to do on the album during that long length of time.

I found another piece of the Q magazine article The band, who last topped the bill at Glastonbury in 2005, are one of a number of acts rumoured to be headlining the event in Somerset next June. But in an interview with Q magazine, singer Chris Martin played down the reports and said it “depends if we get asked”. He added: “That’s like getting asked to dance by Robert Pattinson if you’re a young girl. Imagine if Robert Pattinson called and asked, 'Do you want to touch my balls?'.” http://www.gigwise.com/news/59730/Coldplay-Glastonbury-Invite-Like-Touching-Robert-Pattinson-Balls

There are a couple details from Q magazine in this article that havent been released yet http://www.musicrooms.net/rock-and-pop/20779-Coldplay-keen-to-%E2%80%98perfect-hand-clap%E2%80%99.html

If anyone gets tickets to one of the shows it would be highly appreciated if they record it for the rest of us :D , especially if they have new songs :wink3:

I knew they wouldn't include wedding bells on the album :smug: , but its great to hear that they replaced it with something better :D. Thanks for the amazing info by the way! Someone should ask when they are planning to release the album, or if they are finished recording the album :wink3:

For me its either Politik or Viva La Vida, I like them both equally. :smug:

http://www.wikicoldplay.com/Main_Page ^^ Click that link and scroll down almost to the bottom, you will see images to all 4 band members, click there name with the blue link under each photo and read each one and all your questions should be answered. If you want to learn more about the band just search it up on that site.

SUZUKA (JAPAN): Formula One world champion Jenson Button knows plenty of good tracks but he was taken aback when a confused fan recently mixed him up with a global rock star. "I had an American come up to me at the Heathrow airport, a few months back saying that she and her family are big fans of mine," the Briton said in a light-hearted moment at the rain-hit Japanese Grand Prix. "After I thanked her saying I did not know that Formula One was so big in America, she said they've got all my records and all my albums." Button added. On being asked about his reply to it he said " I said, Fantastic. you think I'm Chris Martin, don't you? and she exclaimed 'Are you not?' And I said ' No, I am Jenson Button. I race in Formula One cars'." Chris Martin, husband of Hollywood movie star Gwyneth Paltrow, is the singer-songwriter frontman for big-selling British band 'Coldplay' and also comes from south-west England like the 30-year-old McLaren driver. A perceived resemblance between the two men has been highlighted on several lookalike websites. Button is no stranger to admirers getting his name wrong, however, with his close entourage sometimes teasingly referring to him as Jason Burton after similarly confused encounters. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/off-the-field/Button-laughs-off-Coldplay-confusion/articleshow/6720051.cms

Yellow :D "you just want"

Viva La Vida vs. Politik

So what does everyone think of the picture with the folder that supposedly "represents" the record? Personally, All I think of it is that the record is going to be sounding more "acoustic"" than "digital" (which has been said in previous articles) especially when he compares the folder of papers to the stack of hard drives.
