It's been on repeat for an hour and a half now and I haven't stopped dancing <3

Just heard 'Reflektor' in all it's 7 and a half minute disco glory! This blows everything released this year out of the water! And YES, DAVID BOWIE IS ON IT!

This user who has an advance copy that I mentioned yesterday gave me an accurate description of the single. He said: just so you know im not fucking around, the album comes with an orange reflektor insert with a download code. side a is the song, side b is the song without any lyrics. there seems to possibly be a sample of tunnels' piano at the very beginning of this new song, it almost sounds like david bowie sings at one point and there is a different piano riff about 3/4 of the way through that will blow your mind. He also offered to Skype me so I could hear some of it, but apparently my behaviour on the main AF Forum was moronic (I seemed a bit unsure of his trustworthiness) so he may not do it :( If he does, I'll try and record it!

Here is my review of Atlas :) http://alternativereviews.co.uk/2013/09/coldplay-atlas-single-2013-review/

Hey guys :) It'd be really awesome if you could check out this review of Atlas I wrote earlier! http://alternativereviews.co.uk/2013/09/coldplay-atlas-single-2013-review/ Thanks! :D

BLOED, ZWEET EN TRAAAAAAAANEN!

Take Josh Homme.

Swallow Johnny Buckland's sweat (I'm unoriginal for a first post haha)

I need to hear this now :( There's a guy on the Arcade Fire forum who managed to get hold of a copy from a record store who accidentally tweeted they have it in store. He doesn't want to leak it but he's letting people PM him for details about the song!

Same!

Argh I need this now!

All pictures of Coldplay are good pictures ;)

Oooh to the other side of the drunk women? Then I wouldn't have seen her, must have a different person in mind.

Ugh yes, those two drunk women were a few people down from me, they were horrible! They kept shouting to security to pick up everything they dropped as well, all woozy and everything. The woman you have in the description there is the same as a woman two people down from me, she even helped hold my flag when Coldplay came to the C Stage! Did she have Brown hair? Because then I'm sure it was your mum :)

Yeaah! What did she look like? I may remember her, I was on the barrier right across the little stairs they walked up, so I could get my flag to them successfully :D

Here are my 3 favourite pictures from the evening: Johnny smiling for the camera :D The Flag! :D All of them on the C Stage

I really enjoyed that review! Great read! It's so amazing how two people can both have completely different days, routines, times of arriving at Malieveld and stand in completely different places yet still enjoy the concert so much!

And I've just come to notice that not only was my flag used in ETIAW, but that Chris also had it during Fix You! He got up when the guitar started and was swinging it around the stage!

I can't stop watching this video from 2:15 onwards when my flag makes a grand appearance :D [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QduChESg9cY]Coldplay Every Teardrop is a Waterfall Malieveld Den Haag - YouTube[/ame] Listen carefully for the communal cheer once the flag was raised in the air :D

Oh you don't have to worry about that, the size of the picture right now is just right ;)

Awesome! :D Do you mind if I save this picture?

Ok :D

I'm still looking for a professional picture of Chris with my flag ahahah

So here it goes. I arrived at the Malieveld at 18:00 and we managed to get in quite quickly through the crowds. I got a shirt and a drink and my friends and I descended into the crowd to find a good place. We found the C Stage and decided to stay on the barrier there which was absolutely awesome, even though the stage was quite far away! Charli XCX was pretty good and I enjoyed a lot of her stuff, but Marina wasn't as good as her. She 'had a cold' but I was a bit disappointed by her performance! We waited and waited for Coldplay to come on, and by the time 99 Problems started playing, I had managed to get onto the barrier of the C Stage, on the side that Coldplay would eventually enter on (literally right next to it)! :D (It gets better ;) ) When Coldplay started, my yellow Xyloband lit up and it was just so awesome :D I filmed MX/HLH and the whole atmosphere for that song was great. The crowd around me were nice people but some people took a while to really get into the experience. The first half of the concert was really quite brilliant, and then they were on the X Stage! I was enjoying it all and then I couldn't stop laughing and smiling when they played Oh Oh Den Haag :lol: The part between the X Stage and the C Stage was stunning, especially the singing in Viva and the jumping in Charlie Brown with the Xylobands! During Charlie Brown, more security turned up and they started to prepare the C Stage for usage. Coldplay roadies everywhere with Mining Hats with those little lights dragging everything up on stage, and then the security made a big line space for Coldplay to enter on. Paradise and its epic sing-a-long finished and then we waited for them to come on! As we waited, I got my self made Coldplay flag out (it's on one of the other pages here) with all my lyrics and symbols and stuff drawn on it, and then bam! Coldplay walked up and on to the C Stage. Chris looked down at the crowd around him and he saw my flag, smiled and said "I want your flag!", so a roadie took it from me, showed Chris (Chris said something to him with a thumbs up), and then the roadie proceeded to hold it until they were off the C Stage. Anyways, they played Us Against the World and Speed of Sound. I've never seen Speed of Sound live but I'm sure we all remember Us Against the World at the Ahoy! *ahem* Will *ahem* ;) Little story for you quickly (if you're still reading that is :lol: ). As the band were waiting to come on stage one by one for Us Against the World, I leant over and tapped Johnny on the back and said "Hey Johnny, smile for the camera!" and so he did! I have a great picture of him just smiling at the camera for me :D And as they all came back off the C Stage, I shook Johnny and Will's hands and gave Chris a good old pat on the back. I said to the roadie "What will you do with my flag" and he replied with "They want it on the main stage". I was so ecstatic, it was just a matter of time and hope to see if they took it on stage! Clocks started and there was no sign of the flag, although the song itself was awesome anyway! Fix You was such an epic tearjerker (I didn't cry though ahaha). And then the time came for ETIAW. I loved it! Towards the end of the song, what do I see? Yeah, that's right. Chris is running up and down the Runway with MY FLAG in his hand waving it about :D :D :D So overall an amazing experience! I got a hand towel from security which Chris used too :lol: I'll post some of the best pictures in a minute!

I'll write a full review in the morning, but I just wanna say one thing.... THEY TOOK MY GOD DAMN FLAG!!!!! :D I WORKED SO HARD ON IT AND CHRIS SAW IT ON THE C STAGE AND SAID "I WANT IT" AND HE WAS WAVING IT AROUND ON STAGE DURING ETIAW GOD I'M SO HAPPY! The rest can come tomorrow ;)
