Thursday, April 10, 2003 Lowdown: Exclusive Canadian music news Coldplay's Martin in Sexsmith video By KAREN BLISS -- For JAM! Music Coldplay's Chris Martin will appear in the video for Ron Sexsmith's next single, "Gold In Them Hills," which will be serviced to video outlets in May. Martin sang on the track from Sexsmith's latest album, "Cobblestone Runway." The Canadian singer-songwriter has been touring with the British band. Toronto director Stephen Scott filmed the video at shows in Salt Lake City and Phoenix. "We do a lot of stuff together onstage," says Sexsmith of himself and Martin. "He comes out when I'm onstage and he sings it with me, but we did a lot of stuff during his soundcheck where we filmed it, lip synced, and we're not using any of it. "(The film crew) managed to get Chris against the wall, singing it and they got me against the wall singing it, so in the video, we're not together at all. It's split screen, I guess." Sexsmith will hook up with Coldplay again May 24 through June 13, this time with a full band. But first, he joins his former Interscope labelmates The Wallflowers for a two-week sojourn beginning April 14. "They're still on Interscope," Sexsmith says of Jakob Dylan & co. "When I first made my first record, apparently they were really big fans of it. I remember I went to see them in New York one time and I didn't think they would have even heard of me, and I walked by the backstage and they all went, 'Hey Ron!'" Sexsmith, who has put out several albums since and bounced from one record label to another (he is now with Linus/Warner in Canada) says, "Out of the blue, they called my agent and asked if I'd be into touring with them, so it will be nice to see them." The prolific songwriter, whose fans include such artists as Alanis Morissette and Elton John, is normally ready to go into the studio at the drop of a hat, but not this time. "I haven't been this confused about a record before," he says. "Usually, I have these songs and I pick a producer and I go do it, but I just don't know what I want to do. "I've been talking with Martin Terefe, who did this album, about doing it; talking with Mitchell Froom (who produced his previous albums) about it as well. (Mitchell) thinks I should do an album that's completely myself, just me, guitar and maybe piano and couple of little things. He just did an album like that for Randy Newman that he said was really amazing. "So I'm really kind of torn because I have songs that sound like hits to me, a lot of them do, but I've never had a hit. They would need full production, and there's a bunch of other ones that might be nice alone." Link: http://www.canoe.ca/JamColumnBliss/...bliss2-can.html

I'm confused about the different pronounciations of Saddam. I mean, when I was little, I only heard it pronounced one way and now all the journalists have their own unique way of saying it. :shrug:

Yikes! This is pretty accurate. :o Your first name of Jessica has given you a responsible, expressive, inspirational, and friendly personality. Expression comes naturally to you and you are rarely at a loss for words; in fact, you have to put forth effort at times to curb an over-active tongue. Self-confidence has made it easy for you to meet people and you are well-liked for your spontaneous, happy ways. You sincerely like people and do not often experience loneliness; your work and home-life are likely filled with association You enjoy music and could have a fine singing voice; however, the study could be somewhat difficult because you do not find it easy to apply yourself to concentrated study for long periods. In this respect, this name is not altogether constructive; it creates a somewhat scattering influence which makes it difficult for you to finish what you start. This name brings disappointments and emotional involvements through being too sympathetic and easily influenced. As a result of your active nature, you have an appetite for quick-energy foods, which you could consume to excess. Health weakness appear as skin conditions, or as ailments relative to the liver.

LOL I want to marry Kiefer too! I'm so proud that he's Canadian. :D

Thanks, guys! I'll try to take some pics! I'll have to be on the lookout for the security guards in that bar. :x :o

Only Superstition I Ran Away Such a Rush Gravity :D

They told me that they would fly me a day or two before June 11th and fly me back a day or two after that. So I'm assuming the dinner is on June 11th since it can't be the day before because they have a gig somewhere. It can't be the day after because they have to hoof it to N.Y. :shrug:

:o

Name favorite song on A Rush of Blood to the Head.

What a nice story! :D

And such a difficult question it was! :roll: Not only do I get to have dinner with Coldplay but a MuchMusic VJ will be tagging along as well. If he/she gets in my way, the forks will be flying! :twisted: Just kidding... to a degree. :shock:

LOL That's what my mom says! About a dog's life I mean. So to answer the question, my mom and I would like to be dogs to a rich, loving family. :lol:

I'm in love with Reuben. *sigh*

40 minutes.... I'm so obsessed with this show. :oops:

I love walking to Everything's Not Lost and Amsterdam. It makes me walk with my head held higher. I can't say the same for Rush of Blood to the Head. That song puts me in a sombre mood. :(

I just finished eating a banana granola bar. Yum! :D

LOL I just remembered The Waterboy. :lol:

Best dress ever! :D Go Steve! ;) Sam Roberts *drools* :D

:-o :shrug:

LOL *raises hand* I'm the 'girl'. I'm sorry but I've already chosen who's going with me. Sorry. :sad: And just to let you know, I sent in quite a few postcards. The rules said you were allowed to send in as many as you wanted as long as each postcard had a stamp. I guess that paid off, eh? :D

Don't know where it's happening but the dinner is most probably going to be the day of the concert. I'm sorry. :cry: It's ok...i've dealt with it by punching a hole in my wall..hahaha..but you better have an amazing time at your dinner AND tell us every single detail!! :) Thanks! You bet your arse I will! :D I can't deny my fellow Coldplayers of every detail. ;)

Two words: blow torch. ;)

I'm seeing them this Saturday (12th) in my campus bar. How sweet is that? :P :D

I thought he didn't perform so well actually, I was disappointed with him. He could have been better :shrug: That's what everyone keeps saying. I guess it helped that I had my TV turned down with my dad talking on the phone behind me. :shrug:
