  1. Originally posted by KieranU2:Right, Coldplay are officially sell-outs. As much as I like them, they just are. Reason why:

    They have accepted to play on The X Factor... it can't get any worse.


    Haha, they might blow it and perform like they did at Children in Need. Then they'd need a miracle to sell out their tour because they were shocking. Anyway, artists don't get paid when they perform on the X-Factor, they get to promote their latest single for free (or so they say).
  2. Originally posted by EyesWithPrideB3God Put a Smile Upon Your Face has really, really grown on me in the last week or so. Don't care for it in any of the live incarnations past the Rush of Blood tour (documented on their Live 2003 release), but the studio cut is racking up the play counts over here.

    And when you work it out, I'm worse than you..

    I'm addicted to that line.


    It's an awesome song, it's among my favorites too.
    I was pretty addicted to it some weeks ago as well, I watched all videos and covers in Youtube and the stuff. Check out this:



    I find it particularly mindblowing...


    PS. The singer's faces while singing are really funny, as you can tell from the vid's thumbnail

  4. Happy memories of playing this song at festivals over the summer.
    Directed by the brilliant Mat Whitecross and Mark Rowbotham.

    Love will

    By the way, Mat Whitecross also directed Lovers In Japan, Teardrop, Paradise, Christmas Lights, Bigger Stronger, Lost! and Violet Hill.
  6. No surprises, it was clear enough I think it should have been the first single!!

  8. That's some long gaps between some dates. Double or triple nights are bound to be announced at Vancouver, Toronto, Atlanta, Washington, ER and Chicago, methinks.

    I really hope this happens, but not on the 4th or 5th of July. If Lollapalooza can book them again it would work perfectly into their tour schedule.
  10. I think Atlanta is going to receive two or three nights. From what I can recall, that venue holds something around 19-21.000 people for concerts, and I think they can easily cover a demand of 60-80.000 for the whole Georgia state&area. July 2, 3 and 4 will belong to Atlanta I reckon.
  11. UGH, I HATE the Hollywood Bowl with a passion, I saw Depeche Mode and the Killers there (separately) and its just all seats soo you can't really jump around or anything unless you're in the pit which is easily going to be around 200 dollars... fuck.

    i might have to bust a mission with friends to another city. I WILL SEE THEM LIVE AGAIN.

    edit: ACTUALLY I'M REALLY EXCITED. NOW I CAN'T EVEN STUDY FOR FINALS WITHOUT BLASTING MYLO IN PREPARATION.
  12. GA tickets for $200, Genaro!? What is that shit??
