My Coldplay.com - A Coldplay Blog

Hello and welcome to the souvenir* first edition of the Coldplay Messenger, the all-new publication delivering the latest Coldplay happenings to you, wherever you may be. Think of us as being like a friend who knows quite a lot about that band you like and who gets in touch every couple of weeks telling you what they’ve been up to, only you don’t have to reply saying “thanks

mate, how are things with you?”.

If you haven’t dropped in on Coldplay.com lately, you won’t know that we’ve been giving away a free MP3 of an exclusive Coldplay track called Death Will Never Conquer, which is unavailable anywhere else. The band have played the song throughout the first leg of the Viva La Vida tour, so if you’re going along to a show in Europe, went to one in North America, or just fancy hearing a new Coldplay song for free, then click here to download it.

It’s been a busy few weeks on Coldplay.com. We’ve launched the Oracle section, which is giving you folks the chance to find out the answer to a question about Coldplay (or, indeed, a question not about Coldplay). We’ve also delivered a bunch of excellent on-the-road blogs from Roadie #42 as well as an exclusive interview with Mr Jonny Buckland. And we’ve posted two different videos for Vida La Vida - one by Hype Williams and the other by Anton Corbijn. Plus Anchorman has been keeping you up to date with all the latest Coldplay-related news. In fact, as we’ve got lots more coming up over the next few weeks, might we humbly suggest that the site is worthy of a bookmark?

Because we’d like you to enjoy receiving your copy of the Coldplay Messenger, we’re going to be running a different exclusive competition in every issue. To kick things off, we’re offering one reader the chance to win a Coldplay album which will not only be signed by the band, but personally dedicated to the person of their choice (be it the winner or, say, their spouse or grandmother). In other words, this isn’t just a signed CD we’ve got sitting in a cupboard. Heck no, it’s going to be done especially for you. To be in with a chance of winning it, simply email your name and address to competitions@coldplay.com before Saturday 23rd August.
