Head here to listen to Coldplay’s best, most hilarious Residency episode yet…

Chris, Johnny and Guy turn in their most explosive Residency show yet as they turn up the heat on the Simon Pegg feud. Strip bars are also in favour, it seems…

Chris Martin, Johnny Buckland and Guy Berryman turned in their greatest performance as Xfm DJs on last Sunday’s Residency show. They mentioned strip bars, turned up the heat on their ‘feud’ with Simon Pegg and also stumbled very close to being libellous.

“We called Simon Pegg and he blatantly ignored our call”, said Chris Martin, stoking the flames of the feud that begun with the British funny man two weeks ago. “Let’s not call him at all this week. If you’ve got a DVD of Shaun Of The Dead or Hot Fuzz, take it back because that guy just doesn’t care about you and he doesn’t care about us”.

Q. Heard a song today on XM Radio with Coldplay and Michael Stipe about God’s Love…What is the exact title and where can I find a copy of it ?? Thanks

The Oracle replies:

The track is called In the Sun. It was originally by Joseph Arthur but Michael chose it as the song to raise funds for Hurricane Katrina. It was released exclusively via iTunes back in February 2006 and you can still get it there.

#42 muses on the band’s time in Japan

Can it really be a week since we left Japan? Worse yet, I’ve not yet submitted my journals from those shows. “Jetlag” sounds far more glamourous and interesting than “couldn’t get off the sofa”, so I’m sticking with that. Somehow though, I think we all know where the truth lies.

In a nice follow-on from the previous journal, I opened my hotel room curtains in Osaka to be greeted by a building in the distance bearing the word “Yodobashi”. The very same camera shop I arrived at in Tokyo minus my credit card. Over breakfast, I enlist the permanently Leica-bearing Berryman to join me for a trip over there. I’ve managed to obtain cash and today there’s no stopping me. We both return somewhat lighter of wallet, but laden with photographic goodies. [Read more]

Simon Pegg vs Coldplay – Feud Continues.

Part III of Coldplay’s XFM Residency is now online. You can listen to it here.

In the third eventful part of Coldplay’s Xfm Residency last night, Simon Pegg once again dodged the world’s biggest band’s phone calls. Admitting they “didn’t have great radio personalities, but have buckets of enthusiasm and passion”, Coldplay tried calling the star of Spaced and Shaun Of The Dead to add spice to their show.

If you think that with a wife like Gwyneth Paltrow rocker Chris Martin wouldn’t glance another women, then you’re wrong.

In an interview on Japanese TV, the Coldplay band members were shown four photographs of models to choose from, whom they would like to take on a date.

While Will Champion, Guy Berryman and Jonny Buckland refused to choose, Martin immediately made his choice. “Thankfully, my wife is over 1,000 miles away so I’ll answer this,” the Mirror quoted him, as saying.

Pointing at the pictures, he joked, “I’ll go for breakfast with this lady, then this lady for lunch. Then this lady, I’d take her to dinner on Thursday…”

Q. Is Jonny Buckland Welsh? He doesn’t look Welsh. But then I’m not sure who does.

The Oracle replies:

From The Moldy Peaches to Mold. Jonny was born in Mold, North Wales but he and his family moved away when he was very small.

Have a listen to what tracks Coldplay decided to play in the first part of their Residency. Move over John Kennedy, Chris Martin’s in town!

Three quarters of Coldplay came into Xfm to demonstrate their DJ-ing skills and play their favourite tracks. The band produced some hilarious links where the giggles got the better of them, but as Chris Martin explains: “that’s Colplay for you, always bumming around”. [Read more]
