Coldplay

in a time when everything and nothing seem to make sense, when i've stopped writing all but entirely, and almost abandoned my blog here, it seems sort of apt that i find myself writing this, doesn't it?   a lot of things have gone horribly wrong lately. but it doesn't mean they won't get better, or better yet, get weird and then get different, but that's not what i'm writing about.   despite the fact that i realize it is not the hipster realization of cool, ...

  To celebrate Glastonbury Weekend here in the UK although Coldplay wont be there the Rain and the Mud will be   enjoy everyone x

I sat down to watch John Stewart last night,and low and behold he has a musical guest on. Stewart said it was the third time he'd had live music, but this was the first time I'd seen it. Anyway, the band looked dressed-up (down?) in their best situationalist international get-ups. Grubby, by design, I think to take that sheen of of what Tom Yorke described as "lifestyle music." Anyway, they were surprisingly good:... MORE

Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends
2008
Capitol Life is but a dream. That little classic rhyme comes to mind when I listen to Coldplay's flawed tour de force, Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends. You can hear the creative touches inspired by producer Brian Eno throughout, starting with a dreamlike electronic coda on "Life in Technicolor" that leads us int... MORE

Coldplay's Viva La Vida came storming out of the gates with over 700,000 album sold, earning the #1 spot on Billboard's chart this week. Vida is also number one in the U.K., Japan, Australia, France, Canada and Germany.... take that Lil Wayne! Not only are they burning up the traditional charts, Coldplay has also made it into iTune's record books. Already the biggest album pre-order in iTunes history, Viva La Vida also set the record for highest first-week album sal... MORE

Hmmm.  So, I'm driving home, having some more one-on-one time with my Viva La Vida.  Track 10 comes to an end...or does it?  Around 3:33 in, what sounds like Life in Technicolor begins.  I listen.  It finishes.  Pause.  Track 1.  And it picks right back up.  It was delightful.  I realized I can just let the CD loop around without any awkward or abrupt hault or disturbance within the confines of my gas eating vehicle.  At ...

The summer solstice came and went this past Friday at approximately 7:59 p.m. Yes, apparently there's even an exact time that we can officially welcome summer. But for me, it wasn't about sitting around until the exact moment, it wasn't even about the exact day, but it was exactly about where I was and who I was with.
Friday morning I picked up the new Coldplay CD. I listened to it here and there to and from work, but still hadn't really spent any quality time with... MORE

For what you are about to read, let me first preface by saying that I mean no offense to any fan of Coldplay's, and especially no offense to anybody who is religious on any level.  This is strictly in jest to the artists across the pond that are rapidly cascading downwards on my list of likable artists. From SPIN magazine: "So, does Coldplay think Viva La Vida can save EMI?  'No, but it'll probably save the world,' Chris Martin deadpans. 'I don't want to bl... MORE

For the past half an hour, I've been trying to burn Coldplay's "Viva La Vida and All his Friends" album onto myMAC. Apparently, my attempts were in vain, because my laptop would read it for ten seconds and spit it right out. Each time. I got fed up and Googled my problem and others were experiencing this dilemma, but it seems like no one knows how to get around it. According to thishttp://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2006/01/coldplay.htmllisteners were having... MORE

Coldplay's latest single, Viva La Vida, bears a striking resemblance to another song by the indie band, Creaky Boards. Coincidence or theft?

Yesterday my roommate Joel and I were having a conversation about Coldplay. With the release of Viva La Vida they are sort of everywhere. Joel was saying how with every passing day he couldn't stand Coldplay more and more. He use to really like them during the Parachute and Rush Of Blood To The Head days. I was saying how I feel like the general population says they can't stand Coldplay, yet they remain to be one of the biggest bands out there. In any case this past week ther... MORE
