My Coldplay.com - A Coldplay Blog

I have set up a separate section of the site devoted to the Coldplay Timeline, which features their complete chronology since the beginning until now. You can find it here:

http://www.mycoldplay.com/timeline

The link is also at the top of the main page and I will be updating it fully and every time Coldplay.com is updated. Everthing is in date order, so makes navigation easier.

Thanks so much to Coldplay the band and everyone involved with the new site layout. You’re doing a cracking job.

An exciting new update from Coldplay.com

Friday 21 September, London

This is the album I always dreamed Coldplay would make. It’s the sound of a band realising their own strength. The sound of four men with total confidence in themselves and one another. It’s the sound of a songwriter at the peak of his ability. Lyrically, and melodically. Chris seems to have broken through past constraints.

There’s a new confidence to venture beyond the limits of the known and confortable. An urge to explore and discover. His energy is electrifying - sometimes intimidating. A manic bundle of love, passion and rage. A voracious appetite for life, eagerly devouring every minute of every day. He knows that time is short.

Jonny too, has explored a whole new universe of sounds, magicking up a new world for each song. His guitars are all over this album.

Will has manipulated, mashed and spliced beats and time signatures to produce rhythms that lead rather than follow the song.

Guy - always the tastemaker and musical authority of the band - has guided and shaped the whole process, always pushing, but unafraid to rein things in when necessary.

The four of them together make up a formidable unit, and this is the album people will remember them by.

I’ve added grabs from the Glastonbury Movie to the gallery. I’m loving the interaction between Chris and Jonny. It’s love baby, it’s lurrrve…

Some more pix have been added to The Coldplayer from the Sydney Press Conference 26/06/2006. They’re extremely lush…

I’ve finally gotten around to uploading grabs of Coldplay at this year’s BRIT Awards. Um, sorry for the delay….LOL! Enjoy!

I’ve now added the clip of VH1’s Top 100 Nation’s Favourite Lyrics here. I’ve made grabs here and you can download here.

Enjoy!

When I first watched the new video for The Hardest Part, my initial response was “this is awful. The worst Coldplay video I’ve ever seen!”. But after a few more plays, I can see that it’s a very well made piece and really quite funny. The onus isn’t on the band at all, but on the performers, who do some pretty death-defying moves. The 84-year-old female dancer is amazing and very supple [she puts me to shame doing the splits and stuff. I can't tell you the last time I was able to do that. I think I was 5].

I love the way the band have been edited into the timewarp of an actual 80’s TV show. It’s seamless. I love the little extras - the cloak being thrown on stage, Chris taking off his sunglasses in amazement at one of the dance moves, him and Jonny having a laugh at what’s going on, the fact that you can see Jonny rockin’ on the side of the stage as the performers do their stuff. And I’m very pleased with what I call the ‘Guycoverage’. He’s rockin’ away like nobody’s business. He’s a proper little mover [more please! :D]. And Chris looks like Sonny Crockett with his finger stuck in a power socket. Will looks cool crooning behind the drums and Jonny’s t-shirt… Well, it makes a change from the norm…LOL

Overall, it’s a great video. We’ll see how it stands the test of time…

I’ve uploaded a vid and have made grabs for the gallery. You can download the vid here and here and the original ‘Attitudes’ segment can be found at here [thanks Motoi]. I personally prefer Coldplay’s musicial accompaniment.

I’ve added video and grabs of Coldplay’s appearance on CD:UK back in May 2005. They performed ‘Speed of Sound’.

I’ve added screencaps and video of last night’s GRAMMY performance of ‘Talk’ to the gallery. You can download the video here. Big thanks to Angie and Nik for these…..

There was a show on today called ‘The Brits Are Coming’ which profiles the nominees of this year’s Brits Awards. There showed 2 exclusive live performances by Coldplay at Crystal Palace on 28th June 2005. They performed ‘White Shadows’ and ‘Fix You’. I have added grabs to the gallery and you can catch the clip here and download the clip here.

Enjoy!
