I hope you're not refering to the best avatar of all time negatively.

[kendra k]

i most certainly am. no offense, but coldplay? please. i've got too much soul.

[Lucie]

Coldplay are Orsum. Don't knock yo.

[kendra k]

orsum? hmm, i wouldn't know about that...

they're not bad, but they're not the second coming of god/u2/what have you. chris martin is one of the most obnxious pop messiahs ever, and i thought damon albarn was bad.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

coldplay make good music but it doesn't have any soul that is true...

[Lucie]

they've gone a bit overproduced/ keyboard mad lately, but their earlier stuff and the 'quieter' new stuff is great.

[kendra k]

i haven't heard their earlier stuff, i will check it out. i think their music is allright, in that something-to-listen-to-when-you-don't-want-to-think-or-do-anything kind of way, but the hype machine is killing it for me, and i can't stand their lead singer. i'm suprised their new video shows the other three guys. (there are other people in the band?!?!?)

[DemonHorse]

also the recent examples of Chris Martin's live signing skills outside of Glasto that have been aired were poor at best, esp his effort on that Streets track.

[Lucie]

Ooh you must do. I think they peaked at Parachutes and if you don't think that they've got a soul after listening to that - well you've probably not got a soul .

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

when i say soul... its hardly to escape anything that chris martin writes music is it?

[kendra k]

he writes music? i though he's inspired by some outside force (god?) and the music comes to him.

cynical? a bit.

[DemonHorse]

nothing wrong with cynicism, it's very underrated.

[Fathomer]

i love it

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

im not convinced by it...

[Sidders]

I prefer their new stuff. I thought their first 2 albums were bland, apart from Clocks which was outstanding. Speed of Sound I love too.

[Uglybob]

theres something eurovisiony about the lyrics to speed of sound

[kendra k]

I prefer their new stuff. I thought their first 2 albums were bland, apart from Clocks which was outstanding. Speed of Sound I love too.

that settles it for me then.

[MC]

Going seeing Coldplay this time next week... cant wait after seeing them on the telly at Glasto.

[Nicky]

Saw then at Crystal Palace on monday night. Bloody brilliant they were.

[seggons]

Don't know if it got mentioned but Folk Face'es video from glasto is online:

[Console]

Yeah, it was on MiniMoyles ages ago.

[Mk.]

And you can see me with my hands in the air clapping behind Moyles in that video. I'm so f**king cool, me.

[Adam]

Ha. Cool.

Never.

[Mk.]

Oh shut up Adam
