Cinema Blend: Man-crush On Coldplay Is Complete Following Sewing News
Posted by busybeeburns on Friday, August 29, 2008 - 01:35 AM (12 Reads)
Topic Notes

 Coldplay sews for fun, and 'are worse than they were yesterday', reports CinemaBlend, in an article posted earlier today.
If it’s possible, Coldplay got even dreamier, more artsy and more pseudo-bohemian than ever, when AOL News reported Wednesday that the band enjoys spending their free time sewing and modifying their clothes. My man-crush on them is now complete.
“Making clothes together in our studio makes us feel complete,” Chris Martin said, philosophically stroking his stubbled chin and batting his long eyelashes. “We probably sound like a group of grannies in a knitting circle, but it's the truth, and it gives us some control over our visual identity.” He continued, “When you are a big band and everyone is taking shots at you [pause for emphasis], the more things you can do together the better. And if you're wearing uniforms made by your own hands it helps achieve that.” Bring on the high-school girls.

Chris Martin Surrenders 'One Fine Day' Track To ex-Talking Heads Guitarist

 [excerpt from this month's Rolling Stone]
One fine day' — there's a funny story about that," Brian Eno says with a smile, referring to one of the 11 songs on Everything That Happens Will Happen Today, the new, gleaming art-pop album the British producer and occasional solo artist has made with his friend, ex-Talking Heads singer-guitarist David Byrne.
Sitting at a table across from Byrne in the latter's Lower Manhattan office, Eno says that at a point early in the record's extended birth, he played a piece of instrumental music in his London studio for Coldplay's Chris Martin: "Chris said, 'Wow, I'd love to work on that.' I'd given it to David a few months before and hadn't heard anything back. So I gave it to Chris."

XFM Residency Part IV Review: "We Like Nipple Shows" Say Coldplay

 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".

 The Oracle has the answers...
August 27, 2008 - submitted by Derek, United States of America
Q. Who is Coldplay’s favorite uncle from America?
The Oracle replies:
That’d be Shawn Carter aka Jay Z. This refers to when Coldplay performed live at the BBC in June, Jay-Z was in the audience. They dedicated Lost! to him using that moniker.
August 27, 2008 - submitted by Miranda, Australia
Q. Was a Coldplay song ever used in an episode of Grey’s Anatomy? I thought I heard Chris’ voice over a scene once and it’s been bugging me not knowing. Thanks very much
The Oracle replies:
Yes it was, just before Viva la Vida was released, the song Death and All His Friends was featured in an episode. Also, In The Sun (the track Michael Stipe & Chris duetted on that I mentioned yesterday), was used.

More Oracleisms...
August 26, 2008 - submitted by Kathy, United States of America
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.

This Saturday (30th August) the band will perform an intimate show for Radio 2 at the BBC Theatre in London. It will be broadcast live on Radio 2 from 19.00. For more information about the show, transmission and band chats, visit the Radio 2 website.
