Coldplay

Something big happened on Tuesday this week, not me writing a journal, although I did do that, but Coldplay’s brand spanking new song ‘Violet Hill’ was debuted on Radio 1 with the wonderful Jo Whiley.

Chris Martin and Jonny Buckland from the band were on Jo’s show and had a lovely little chat with her. Chris Martin is one of those annoying types of people who whilst being very talented, successful, married to Gwyneth Paltrow, he is still actually really funny and seems like a actual nice guy whose head isn’t up his own backside!

Anyway, Chris told Jo (well and everyone listening) that with the new album they aim to make it okay to like Coldplay again and want it so that sixteen year olds don’t get bullied for liking Coldplay…fingers crossed!

As well as being quite cool and fairly self-deprecating and caring for the youths (LOL) Coldplay are being very nice and giving away their new song for free for a week! Isn’t that good of them!

Anyway, I don’t know about you but I like Coldplay quite a bit and have liked and loved all of their stuff so far, even if X&Y took a bit of time to really love. So, I along with half the country it seems went onto their website and downloaded their new tune (their website crashed because so many people went on it!)

And I like it. I like it quite a bit. I was worried it would suck but it’s pretty good, especially the heavy guitars on it.

So, if you haven’t downloaded it yet, then do so, it’s free so if you don’t like it then what’s the problem and whatever you think of the new tune, use the comments dealy to say what you think
