I'm following you. Please tweet away!:)

Oh no! I'm glad you were able to get another ticket though. Enjoy the show and please keep us posted.

About the Olympics, I cranked up the volume as high as I could and still couldn't get it. It sounded like we're going to do something else but we can't talk about it. So they'll participate in some ways but will not be physically at the Olympics.

Jason sounds like a nice guy, I enjoy his tweets. He's gotta make sure that touring with the band doesn't get to him and makes him lose his job. The deal has to be beneficial to him since Chris said the other night that the Xylobands are a very expensive treat. Anyway I hope all is well.

I expect her to attend 1 of the 3 shows, probably May 1st, but who knows? She was in NY yesterday but she can be back in LA by the 1st Hollywood Bowl show.

Nope! 1. Gwyneth 2. Gwyneth 3. Rihanna, Cameron, Beyonce

Yup. On his own. The lady was just asking about the PoC video featuring Rihanna that Coldplay is (are) playing on this tour. He volunteered the beauty ranking all on his own, then when he realized what he'd done, he said this is going to make the news. And indeed it did. LOL Oh and he specified she's distant 3rd. :lol:

Rihanna is joint 3rd most attractive woman in the world along with Cameron Diaz and Beyonce. So who's number 2? My 1st and 2nd place is the same person. She gets 2 places. :)

This is supposedly Gwynnie and Mosey, drawn by Courtney Love.:\

Metronomy interview 27 April 2012 2:27 pm We caught up with Gbenga Adelekan from Coldplay's latest support act For the first few shows of the North American tour, Coldplay are being joined by terrific UK electronic popsters Metronomy. We gave the band's bassist, Gbenga Adelekan (standing, below), a shout to find out a bit more about them. Hello Gbenga, how are you? Very well, thanks for asking. Sat in the dressing room with my friend Oscar Cash (keyboards) listening to Frank Ocean. Where are you right now? The Seattle Key Arena. Last night we were at the Rose Garden in Portland. As a basketball fan, getting to sit in these locker rooms and imagine some of the greats that walked the corridors is exciting for me. So, how have the first few dates of the tour with Coldplay been? Well, our run with Coldplay comes at the end of a US/Canada tour of our own where we were playing clubs and theatres, so this is a change of speed to say the least. It's the biggest tour we've ever been involved with, so it's interesting to get something of an insider's view on how the whole thing works. Do you guys approach support slots differently to headline shows? We do, yes. With these shows, we're aware that the vast majority of the audience members don't know who we are. So although we want to put our best foot forward, we also feel free to pick whatever songs we like for the setlist as opposed to having certain 'bangers' that would always have to be in a headline set. Plus, there's a lot less time for a support slot (obviously). So less talking! Have the Coldplay crowds been good listeners so far? They have. In Portland there were even quite a lot of people who got up and danced. For any Coldplay fans who aren't familiar with Metronomy's music, please could you tell us a bit more about the band? Metronomy began in Devon in the bedroom of Joseph Mount. The first Metronomy album was an electronic, laptop-composed affair. As his remixes and songs got more popular, gig offers started coming in and this led to him putting together a band. Right now we are Joe (keyboards/guitars/vocals), Oscar (keys/sax/guitar), Anna (drums) and myself (bass). We all pitch in on backing vocals and Anna occasionally sings lead. Joe still writes and produces all the music and this is a really important part of the sound. Our current album The English Riviera is the first one recorded in a studio and was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize. I guess you could call it breezy electronic pop. How did you guys come to be on the Coldplay tour? We've heard differing accounts and still have yet to home in on the definitive answer. Suffice to say, someone within the Coldplay camp became aware of us because of how well things have gone in Europe and I guess they put in a few good words. What do you hope to get from it? I don't think any of us are under any illusions about how much work is involved with building an audience in North America. Touring with Coldplay has already put us on the radars of a whole new audience and the hope is that some proportion of the audience checks out our music after they leave the show. Obviously the band is doing really well in the UK, but have you played in America much before? How are you doing there? We've been over quite a few times, but The English Riviera (our third album) is the first one that's been released in North America, so in many ways it still feels like the beginning for us here even though this last tour was completely sold out. We're very happy for things to build gradually - we've never been a band that's been hyped and splashed on a load of front covers as can sometimes be the case with British bands coming over to the US. Are you a fan of Coldplay? For people of our generation (we were all finishing school when Parachutes came out), I think those first two albums are just part of the musical landscape, same as Urban Hymns or certain Oasis albums. The others in the band haven't kept up as much with Coldplay since then, but I was a fan from the Safety EP and bought Mylo Xyloto the day it came out… so I've been on the whole journey. Had you seen them live before? I saw the most recent Glastonbury set and was also at the O2 Arena in London back in December. It's weird, though - listening to LeftRightLeftRightLeft, I kind of felt like I'd been to a show already. Have you been enjoying their shows on this tour? Chris Martin has said in interviews that he thinks it takes about 100 shows on a tour before they really start taking off and now I can see what he means. Day 1 of the tour was good, but last night was really good. Plus, they've added 'Don't Let It Break Your Heart' to the set, and I heard them soundchecking 'Glass of Water', both songs I love and wasn't sure they'd play. Have you had chance to hang out with the band yet? We met Chris and Will briefly - they knocked on our dressing room door a few minutes before they were due onstage in Calgary. As for hanging out… none of that just yet! I'm also hoping I work out who Roadie #42 is by the end of the tour... The Pierces are on this leg of the tour too. Have you checked out their show yet? We have indeed. Those ladies can sing! Reminds us of the Mamas & Papas in places. Has there been any time for any sightseeing? If so, what's the best thing you've done so far? Because we were back and forth from a festival called Coachella at the start of this Coldplay tour, we've not had a chance for much sightseeing, no. We've been to some great bars, though (ha). Are you travelling around on a tour bus? There must have been some pretty big journeys already? We are in a tour bus - our first time on a bus in North America. The scale of the whole place really gets - ahem - driven home when you're staring down the barrel of a 28 hour drive between shows! Previous support acts have spoken highly of Coldplay's on-the-road catering - what do you think? Have there been any highlights? Firstly, it's lovely to see a Scotswoman in charge. Secondly, yesterday's Cajun chicken and dirty rice was incredible. The desserts have been totally next-level too. What have Metronomy got planned for the rest of 2012? Well, by the last Hollywood Bowl show, we'll have been in North America for nearly six weeks. So we have a few weeks off when we get back and then we're into European festivals. Our last show at the Berlin Festival at the start of September will cap nearly 18 months of touring. Finally, what's your favourite Coldplay song, and why? I really couldn't pick just one. 'Postcards From Far Away' and 'Chinese Sleep Chant' often come up when I'm asked this question. Right now it's 'Up With The Birds'. For more information on Metronomy, head to metronomy.co.uk.

Nice. The coach must really be into Coldplay.

This is truly a Coldplay fan. Wow! In the article I posted yesterday, the other 2 guys were like, we're touring with The Coldplays. The Coldplays???? :lol:

Are they the ones who made Viva La Vida their team song in 2009 and went on to win their league championship? Off topic. I'm watching the Barcelona Tennis Open right now, Ferrer vs F. Lopez.:)

Funny they didn't block part 1. Anyway I uploaded to mediafire Part 1 http://www.mediafire.com/?c9vao717i0q6oeq Part 2 http://www.mediafire.com/?3hyp5e5v95swf4v

Chris is fascinated with kites. 1x upon a time, his idea of a romantic date was to go fly a kite. I see he hasn't changed. :lol:

I'm removing youtube videos before I get myself in trouble. Use these links instead Part 1 *link removed by Moderator* Part 2 *link removed by Moderator*

Gwyneth Paltrow in Talks to Star in FINDING NEVERLAND Musical? Thursday, April 26, 2012; 06:04 PM - by BWW News Desk FINDING-NEVERLAND-20010101 The Daily Mail's Baz Bamigboye today reports that Gwyneth Paltrow has been offered a role in the musical version of FINDING NEVERLAND, which will play Leicester's Curve Theatre in September 2012. Paltrow would play 'Sylvia Llewelyn Davies', whose children inspired J.M. Barrie to write Peter Pan. Julian Overden is currently set to lead the production, which will be directed and choreographed by Rob Ashford. In Finding Neverland, the pressure is on for Scottish playwright J.M. Barrie - his last play was an abysmal failure and his career is threatened by crippling writers block. With his deadline fast approaching and an impertinent producer hounding him, a chance meeting in a London park with a woman and her spirited young boys provides just the inspiration he needs. Based on the 2004 Academy Award-nominated film - which in turn was adapted from librettist Allan Knee's play, The Man Who Was Peter Pan - this world premiere musical tells the enchanting story of the real boys who inspired a literary masterpiece. Finding Neverland features a book by Allan Knee, with a score by the Grey Gardens writing team of Scott Frankel (music) and Michael Korie (lyrics), and is directed and choreographed by Tony Award winner Ashford (Cry-Baby, Thoroughly Modern Millie).

Yup! Nothing new or cute like the publicity suggested. I have some 4 minutes captured on my phone, I don't think it's worth posting unless somebody really wants it.

I love this new Chris very much, he totally volunteered this info on his own. Rihanna is distant 3rd most beautiful woman. :lol: My number 1 and number 2 are the same. Oh Chris! Good for you. Preach more brother, preach! Fangirls aren't going to be deterred just b/c you occasionally talk about your wife. Some of us find it extremely sexy. :lol:

I think this belongs here as well, starting at 1:47. Thx Vanessarrent. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FabmayrYyzs&feature]Coldplay-Interview on ET Canada - YouTube[/ame]

Cute but she claimed the interview was 20 min long. I was expecting at least 10 min. Oh well! I love this new Chris talking about his wife more and more. :)

Metronomy Talk Coachella, Coldplay & Britney Spears With MTV News "We're going on tour with The Coldplays!" jokes Joseph about the band's new gig. Posted By: David Robert | @DavidRobert Tue, 24 Apr 2012 18:09:00 GMT Metronomy is an indie pop group made up of Joseph and Oscar, hailing from the UK and formed all the way back in 1999. Joseph has remixed several major artists including Lady Gaga's 'You + I' and work for Franz Ferdinand, but together as a band they've released 3 studio albums, including their most recent, The English Riviera. MTV News recently had the chance to catch up with the boys before their gig in Indio, California at the legendary Coachella Music Festival to talk music, Coldplay and Britney Spears. "We've been to so many music festival's that it's difficult to get really enthusiastic about them anymore," says Joseph with a laugh, referencing the band's turn on the Coachella stage. "But then, having said that, everyone we talk to is like 'Coachella is amazing' - I think we might be playing on the same day as Snoop and Dr. Dre, it'll be nice to catch up with them, been a while." The band was just announced as the opening act on Coldplay's upcoming tour - we asked them how they feel about getting the chance to play with arguably the biggest British band in the world (right now). "We're going on tour with The Coldplays!" jokes Joseph. "For us it's just going to be crazy to play such big venues, and God knows what their fans will think of us." adds Oscar. Are there any bands that Metronomy would like the chance to work with? "Britney Spears is getting in contact!" jokes Oscar. "You never say no to Britney Spears, I'm trying to think of who else, really. That's probably it." Finally, how have the boys been enjoying Canada? What do they like about the Great White North? "We quite like coming here, really. We've had a wonderful time. We went up the [CN] Tower today, Oscar got very scared of the glass floor. We've got everything we need here."
