My Coldplay.com - A Coldplay Blog

If you’re interested in finding out how to make a Coldplay “Viva La Vida” iTunes style portrait, here’s how. It’s even better if you play the song in the background. Makes it less monotonous…

The other day, I wrote a post regarding Hongkiat.com, and how much I loved some of the tutorials on it. I saw the Coldplay / Apple Portrait tutorial, thought it looked cool, so I decided to do it myself, then made a video tutorial of it.

SUMMER SONIC: Coldplay’s Only Festival Date in 2008 - The Definitive Report

Well, had you asked me what I thought of them a month or two ago, just before Coldplay released ‘Livin La Vida Loca’ (or whatever it was called), I would have told you quite firmly, ‘Interesting to read about because Chris Martin seems constantly on the edge of a nervous breakdown, but too fucking boring to ever actually put on the record.’ [Read more]

After the onslaught that was Justice, I decided I needed something a little more chilled out. I managed to catch the last few tracks of Coldplay and I thought they were great. Admittedly, I have never really been a fan and probably couldn’t name any of their songs, but they were great live. Chris Martin’s voice is fantastic and the band are equal to his part. I kind of wish I could’ve seen more but with a line-up as good as today it isn’t all that easy.

Greetings from the East. Whilst we adjust to the jetlag and the culture shock, here’s a little home movie from that festival in the mountains we did a little while back.

Coldplay closed out the North American leg of its tour with an exclamation point Monday night.

Befitting their status as radio kings, thanks to the success of their fourth album “Viva La Vida,” the quartet gave a big performance on a big stage with a big audience singing along to the big choruses. (Speed-dial friends U2 would’ve beamed with older brotherly pride).

Photos from last night’s Washington DC show are in the gallery here. Reviews and videos below…

WASHINGTON – For music fans concerned about who will continue the arena rock tradition once the veterans have walked away from the stage for good, now would be a good time to turn your attention to Coldplay.

Is their music and cultural impact as timeless as The Rolling Stones or Bruce Springsteen? No. At least not yet. And can Chris Martin command a stage with the bravado and swagger of Bono or Jon Bon Jovi? Not quite.

What Coldplay offers live are well-designed Big Rock Band trappings – video screen the width of the stage, a rainbow of lasers, neon butterfly confetti – but instead of coating them with the cool self-assurance of a thousand other rock stars, the band projects an endearing warmth. [Read more]
