The Hypnofeed also has direct inspiration from one of Mark Osborne's earliest short films called "More" [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wd0ol25uUVU]more - YouTube[/ame] Here too the world is devoid of color and the "happy product" (which has the same smiley face as on the Hypnofeed helmets btw) brings in color and entertainment. As mentioned by Mark himself. "And of course elements like the Hypnofeed were pulled directly from Coldplay lore, mixed with the lore of the body of work from my universe"

A couple of pics from Alex Fuentes' instagram (http://statigr.am/losfokos):

Does anyone else think that the outfit Chris is wearing at the beginning of the PoC video (I know we were supposed to have eliminated that from our minds already!) looks reminiscent of the images they showed of Aiko - the hoodie, the pants, the gloves? Just me? okay.

Yep, this video shows Aiko and Lela, the "first sparkers" around 5:40 [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4m8eiD8Bvc4&feature=relmfu]Comic Con 2012: Mylo Xyloto Part 4/5 Panel Discussion (Coldplay) - YouTube[/ame] Around 1:59 they show baby Mylo who has "been influenced at a very young age by seeing some of the sparkers but has forgotten over the years" [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ft3kpoVwGc&feature=relmfu]Comic Con 2012: Mylo Xyloto Part 5/5 Panel Discussion (Coldplay) - YouTube[/ame] And then the interview with Mark Osborne mentions they are Mylo's parents and were killed in the war: So Mylo was orphaned after the war but still saw Sparkers, and maybe witness his parents be taken or killed? I think Charlie Brown is where he realizes he too can create sparks (he does have the genes after all) Light a fire a fire a spark Light a fire a flame in my heart

I thought MTM may be about the origin of Silencia... Aiko and Lela feeling the start of the oppression and becoming Sparkers? Maybe baby Mylo sees them feeling this and being captured... Either way i think MTM is about Mylo's parents :)

Thank you Jason and Dianne! I am super excited to see this and interpret everyhing from the album. I am so glad that the band chose to put their name on something so creative as a comic book, over a clothing line or perfume or nailpolish (looking at you Bieber). This is all so wonderful. And HLH yay! Can.not.wait.

and the band wasn't there? odd.

Caroline Daniel ‏@cityofpaper bought the #MyloXyloto comic! @coldplay sneh ‏@lumosings @cityofpaper flkasjdflkjsdfoijlkjsdfisofjw DOES IT LOOK BEAUTIFUL Caroline Daniel ‏@cityofpaper @lumosings YESS omg i just started flipping through it but i'll let you know how it is!

There are a couple of livestreams available but I don't know about international coverage/what they will actually show. I think it's more like Oscar coverage - arrivals, short interviews etc. http://www.mtv.com/videos/misc/813561/2012-san-diego-comic-con-live-stream-mtv-geek.jhtml#id=1689394 http://www.ew.com/ew/package/0,,20399642,00.html

Ah hahaha not quite :) It's this one, which is quite lovely!

Mmmmmmmmmmm X link

Passion Pictures has done work on the look and feel for the London Olympics; Fortiche has done work on videos for the Gorillaz, pepsi, samsung etc. This could all fall flat on my face but I think the HLH video will be awesome.

This is from a guy who wrote I think Chris Martin was destined to play in the dirt. I'm not sure what it is about the awkward, self-defacing, hopeless romantic piano playing unlikely showman that meshes so well with the great outdoors— maybe it's because the first words any of us heard coming out of his mouth were, "Look at the stars." but I agree with #1 ;)

In addition, if the comic had come out before we might have expected all-animation versions of all the videos and everything else would be comic-centric! I wouldn't wanna give up elephant costumes for anything hehe. :elephant: Well looking back at this thread: http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=92307 everyone had boy-meets-girl interpretations already. Only now it's set in a fictional universe.

I thought the references were only to help pronounce Xyloto: "xylo" as in xylophone, "to" as in toe. Don't think it meant someone with xylophone toes :)

How do you guys think Car Kids figures in the story, from the little we know? :)

= I struggle with the feeling that my life isn't mine ?

Well, Feb 2013 seems like plenty of time to release an EP as well :D

ahhh they changed their twitter DP to Mylo

From the Q&A with Mark Osborne: Does Major Minus really have one eye watching us? Let's just say that each Hypnofeed helmet only has one camera lens to show each wearer the world around them safely depicted in black and white. Those camera feeds aren't just directed inside the user's helmet...

but it's SO FAR AWAY!!!
