Thank you so much for the scans, Ian! Enjoyed the article but I did trip up on the tagline for the pic of C&G - it's from 2003 not 2010.

SHAKE the balloons... do not release them! And sing "Oh oh oh oh... oh oh oh oh..." Great night when I met some great new friends.

It made me so nervous when he jumped into the crowd last night. Good thing I didn't see him climb the light tower, I would have been crazy! I'm so afraid he's going to get hurt.

Here we go~

Gathering here for the ACL live stream? Cool! Hi, everybody!

SO excited for all my friends at ACL tonight (Lauren, Jess, Angie, Lori, Chris). Have a wonderful time and look at everything twice as hard because you're looking for me!

I am so there.

So it happened to me again - it was the same with ETIAW. I loved the song on first listen and came running here to share the love, only to be dismayed by the barrage of negativity. It doesn't matter to me, I still love Paradise and think it's an amazing piece of work. If you really want to appreciate the melody, here's a piano cover done by one of our Coldplayers (who always seems to be able to cover a Coldplay song within hours of its release - he's awesome).

THIS. The bass drives that song. One of my faves.

Guy: (Sigh) I guess that restraining order isn't working. Lindsay Lohan is still texting me. Why can't she JUST STOP?

Happy birthday, Jonny! Hope you are having an exceptionally FAB day.

Mylo Xyloto in the News So imagine my surprise and excitement when I flipped open the "Living" section of my local newspaper and found a very cute picture of Chris grinning out at me! Coldplay was featured in a roundup article (reprinted from USA Today), a fall music preview of upcoming releases. MX was featured along with releases by Mary J. Blige, Tony Bennett, Kelly Clarkson, Miranda Lambert, Lou Reed and Metallica, Lady Antebellum, and Superheavy - not too shabby. Here's a transcript of the Coldplay portion of the article. Coldplay, Mylo Xyloto (Oct. 24) Outline: For their first album since 2008's double platinum Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, the British quartet brought on producers Brian Eno, Markus Dravs, Daniel Green and Rik Simpson, and is reported dto have adopted an industrial rock/electro-pop sound. The group has revealed that it's pronounced my-lo zy-letoe but has been mum on its meaning, setting up a flurry of Internet speculation. Outside the lines: First single "Every Teardrop is a Waterfall" has racked up 583,000 download sales, according to Nielson SoundScan. Second single "Paradise" follows Monday. Outlook: This is a band that can cause a record company's stock to drop if it announces a delay, so expectations are through the roof. Reviews of the band's festival appearances this summer, where new songs were road-tested, have been mostly highly favorable.

Still huddling in the corner with my fingers in my ears because I don't wanna hear before the whole single drops on Monday. Maybe if I count the M's and X's on the wallpaper.....

Sure looks like her! Maybe she's filling in the time before the tour working as GP's bodyguard.

So wait a minute - If it's released in the UK on Oct. 24 and in the US on Oct. 25 does that mean that we American types are going to have to spend one whole day seeing/hearing the UK folks rejoicing over MX while we don't have it yet? Will we have to avoid CPing so our first listen won't be spoilt? This may drive me all the way crazy.

I remember you! Wish we'd had more time to talk. It was SO great.

oh.. more.. >>there are a lot of C&G photos in this site. If you are so jealous,don't ever open it :D I'm not jealous so I did look. Dates on the photos are December 2003. If you look closely, you'll see C & G are coming out of a doctor's office and both look deliriously happy. Makes me wonder if they'd just confirmed that Apple was on the way. Kinda warms my heart.

I've always thought "A Message" had religious significance. It speaks of "love to the loveless shown" and says "You don't have to be alone, you don't have to be on your own" which is quite a Christian theme.

Happy birthday, Phil! It was great meeting you in Liverpool. Hope you are having a FAB day.

Nope, I've got you beat because I'm... erm... well, older than 52. :) But I still love this beautiful man. Never too old to appreciate something like this:

Here's another glimpse:

Wow, Keka, love the videos! You really had me smiling. And thanks for posting the link for the studio version of Charlie Brown. Love that song, and it sounds fabulous!!

I couldn't resist giving this one a spin myself: Jonny: What's a nice girl like you doing on a bus like this? Girl (who is actually a mannequin): :blank: Jonny: Come here often? What's your sign? You must be tired 'cos you've been running through my dreams every night.... Couple up front: SQUEE! Will: What're they SQUEEing over? Grr.... Satriani....Must...kill..... Chris: So I think we may name our next album Mylo Xyloto. You don't like it? How about Rush of Blood to the Head.....? Guy (who is actually a mannequin): :blank:

For everyone who felt the earthquake in the eastern US today (including me!): You go backwards and then you go forwards again You go backwards again you go

Anybody seen anything about the times for the Sept. 23 lineup? I got my ticket and it says it starts at 7:30 - seems like each artist is only going to be able to do a VERY short set.
